Thread title says it all. Well in RTW i like Spartans really strong and in BI Francsica Heerban for their axe throwing. (it kills a lot!)

For RTW, I like the bezerkers the best, they just absolutely chew through units three times their size.
For BI, I'm gonna be cheap and say Sassanid Immortals.![]()

Well I only played Bi twice so I cant really say anything for that game, but in rtw my favorite would have to be arcani. They work wonders on walls during siege battles and are very fast.
RTW: My top 3 units
1.Cappadocian Cavalry
2.Falxmen
3.Night Raiders
BI: I haven't played it

Thracian mercenaries/infantry. Damn versatile semi-basic unit, and just look very cool on the battlefield.

For the usefulness and killing power, the Roman Legionaries (for obvious reasons).
For just looking good, the cataphracts.
For being plain funny (routing so much) the peasants![]()

For RTW
1. Cataphracts-best heavy cavalry in RTW for plain slogging through the enemy
2. Cretan Archers- I send so many to the ferry man (Charon of Greek Mythology) with these guys
3. Scythian Mercs- I just love using these guys for skirmishing
For BI
1. Cbiirii Immortals- Gah!Almost nothing can take these guys out
2. Francisca Herban- human lawnmowers
3. Graal Knights- King Arthur anyone?

Oh yeah, i forgot the head hurlers! They are one of the best units to have!
Although i still don't see how you can be killed by a flying head.
RTW- Onagersask my clanmates.
BI - Burgundian Lancers!

RTW - Arcani, they look a bit like ninjas from an 80s sega game, but cool
BI - Hun chosen cavalry, love watching them cut through fields of peasants![]()
My favorite unit in RTW would have to be the Armoured Elephants, just because they were simply unstoppable. In BI i would say that the GallowGlasses because they can really hold their own against almost anything.
my favorite unit is German spearmen warband,they are first level unit but they can win a batle against some 5level unit,if used corectly and if they are suported with screaching women they can destroy prety easily even the strongest Roman army.MY favorite cavalry is Light lancers.
RTW: The Armenian Heavy Spearmen (coolest looking phalanx)
BI: Saxon Hearth Troops and Saxon Keels (good combo + look cool)
I have to go with sacredbands, both cav and infantry, together they make a great team. And of course good old roman legions can do just about anything.
Arcani, they look cool.

RTW: Spartan hoplites for their cool dresses.
BI: Burgundian lancers for everything.
