I personaly like the carthaginian/iberian assualt infantry they kick ass and are some of the best looking units in the game.

I like EB's Ekdromoi Hoplites, Thorakitai, and Thureophoroi. They're great peltast killers and they are also great at flanking pike units. I also like all missile units, especially peltasts and numidian javelinmen.

my favorite Eb Units are:
1. Hetairo
2. Baktrian Agema
3.Hypaspistai

I'm pretty enamoured with EB's Thorakitai Argyraspidai right now.

RTR's Ptolemiac Hypapistai were pretty sexy, too.

Being the ardent fan of Rome that i am... My favourite was always the heavy Roman infantry... Especially Hastati since they are the cheapest and always see the most action in any campaign of mine.

@Dayve i take it then you go for the old checkerboard attack? My triarii never see any action at all!

Anyways, are we allowed another fave? Cos the best looking unit IMO has to be the sacred band infantry. Lining up 10 units of solid, glistening silver against the desert sun...ahh...

edit- mind you the upcoming Thrakioi Peltastai (https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showthread.php?t=64604

look absolutley stunning, huge congrats to whoever skinned them.
