I tend to like all types of units because you need alot of flexability in war but i use Calvary as my main units such as generals usually. Sometimes Infantry cause they are cool, like Teutonic Knights.

I agree You do Need To Have A Balance some times

**Craterus** · 10-22-2005, 22:43

Generally, it depends on the enemy. A balanced army should always be fought with a balanced army. An all-infantry army should definitely be fought with archers + cav combo. A predominantly missile army should be fought with cavalry. Cav army should be fought with a balanced army and preferably with spearmen/pikemen.

I'd have to say I like infantry the best. They have saved me numerous times. I like how versatile they are. I find I only use cavalry for mopping up operations or to quickly decimate missile units.

Think I really need to use cav more lol, except Javalin Cav, ive only ever used them as mob uppers except for the general. But in most wargames ive played ive always gone for troops that can shoot and fight ok in combat. Just a playstyle habbit I guess. Pharohs bowmen > all

i like to use infantry the most with calvary backup and if i can a few balista to chuck flaming bolts of fury into enemy lines

**Seleukos** · 10-29-2005, 21:32

Infantry ,because of the phalanxes!!!

But i love also cavalry with +++ charge bonus.

**Rilder** · 10-30-2005, 04:42

**WhiteProphecy** · 11-02-2005, 03:17

In RTW characters can develop this trait
"Superior Cavalry Commander: +2 commanding cavalry, -2 commanding infantry"

That's a decent description of how I developed after my Scythia campaign. I never use pause so my attention is limited. Now whatever faction I play, I use Cav at the beginning, middle, and end of a battle. "Alas mere infantry, poor buggers".
