Big Byzantine Infantry

[ichi]

Since I play a lot online, where there are penalties for pickibg more than four of any one type of unit, my SP style usually has me with 4 max of any kind. In a pinch, of course, I go with what I got.

ByzInf are strong in early and high, when their 100 man unit size gives them an edge. Since they start with low morale they can be routed en masse (unless they're led by a high command rating gen).

So, yeah, you could build a 16 unit ByzInf stack led by a six star gen, but to me it wouldn't be nearly as interesting as taking a few ByzCav, Trebs, Bulgs, VG, Napthas, Porno Cav, or even a few mercs and beating up the AI with a combination attack.

but that's just me

Hmmm, that's interesting, since yes it's more interesting to play with their uber cav, but I don't find it all that fun.

I think it's equally challenging to play the Byz with a heavy Infantry army rather than a more balanced army.
