Favorite infantry unit!

**blank** · 05-22-2007, 21:29

appearance: Roman eastern archer auxilia, Dosidataskeli, Mori Gaesum

overall: Mori Gaesum. These guys look awesome, and are excellent as both phalanx and shock infantry. What more could you want?

Well the reformed makedonian pezhetairoi are mine...with the cohorts reformata..imagine the compined power of that formation along with heavy catafract cav and eastern archers......

Well, I fell in love with the Dosidataskeli. But, the most regular unit and real battle winner (the dosi are there just as flank support), it's definatly the Gestikapoinann (Lusotannan Light Spearmen). I mean throw anything at them they'll shew them up and spit them out like old chewing gum :).
Also, Plybian princeps as someone already said, Iudaioi Taxeis for my AS campaign and som manny others... Basically every faction has one unit (on the non elite side) that I somehow can use really well and they may not be ubber statwise but when in combined arms, they really shred everything...

Cheers...

- Agrianikoi Pelekephoroi. Their only disadvantage is their low armour, but with their axes they just rip everybody.

- Thraikioi Peltastai. Best skirmishers ever and also good all-around infantry.

- Hysteroi Pezhetairoi. Stand against all other Phalangites without problems.

Thrakian peltasts hands down.

Although I must admit I'm also a fan of our Camillian Triarii.

Peltastai Thraikioi.

Most useful unit I've ever wielded. Deadly javelineers combined with fairly tough medium infantry. They can hold a line against most regular units when they have to and decimate it from a distance when they don't.

I also have a fondness for the Dorkim Aloopim and one of the Liby-Phoenecians (the better one), for both appearance and effectiveness.

Wow what a great question! I like all the polybian for romans and evocata

The best looking Unit to me are the Sweboz Sahsnotoz - if they only were as useful ^^

However - my favourite Unit are Samnite heavy Infantry mercenaries. During my italian campeign I hired large ammounts of those and they cut thouse Romans into pieces ^^
