And I'd say that in RTW 1.2, the best army is from Armenia. That faction has normal horse archer, cataphract archers (the best HA unit in the game), cataphracts, and phalanx units and the armenian legionaries. Which is strong enough infantry that they won't suck in siege battles like the other HA factions. It's a combination that is both versatile and immensely powerful.

In 1.3 I don't know, since I haven't got BI yet. But I suspect that the balance of factions may be significantly changed from 1.2, what with the reduced efficiency of missile units.
