*Topic* For my choice I'm not sure yet, havent played enough of BI, thats why I ask of course

Well if you want pure killing power, the Sassanid's Immortal units are definately among the top in cavalry. Excellent melee attack, 30 armor, and they are horse archers too. On top of that, they are a general bodyguard unit

I just can't stop loving the Plumbatarii.
Strong in melee, strong in ranged combat and strong in return fire. Andbest of all it costs the same as Comitatenses (no reason to train them when you get Plumbatarii).

I love the Saxon and Frankish units, mostly a personal taste thing. Though I've never actually used the Franceca (SP!) throwing unit for the Franks in campaign.

So Keel Warband (Sax), Axe Heerbann (Franks), and [throwing axe] Heerbann (Franks).

Teh sh1eldwall = teh 1337. Me <3 !!111

I'm looking forward to Beserkers whence I receive my copy of BI.

I like my ERE... but I am biased. (And the tons of Stinky Armored Cav is great too! Horses hate them!)

Yes , the Fransisca hebeernan are imo one of the best / coolest units in the game.

I am still winding up my WRE campaign so I can't comment much on other factions. However I am becoming increasingly worshipful of the Plumbatarii, especially when produced with silver sword and shield. I have yet to see a formation of these guys be broken on offense or defense. Now, why can't we have a First Cohort version of them?

Well... I think that makes sense... They would simply be overpowered. What could ever stop Plumbatarii with upped missile attack, 50% more men (and thus 50% more plumbata) and a stellar morale? Bring it on!!!

But you know it is actually quite easy for you to mod them in. If you have any experience with simple modding this should take no more than an hour at worst.
