    Default Favorite unit.

    I like a lot the hoplites units in the game they are cheap fast and with the guard mode u see their true power. By the way do you know any usefull tactics on use them more efficiently??

    From what I can tell the hoplites' power lies in staying power, holding the line, but it will take a lot of time for them to kill off the unit they're fighting so try to flank with some sword equipped units, even peltastai work well enough.

    I like the Celtic heavies especially the Casse guys. Calawre, Milnaht and the Goidilic heavies are also top notch. I really like the power they have plowing through a flank and the woad. I like woad. The Rycalawre are also a really powerful and also very very good looking. I'm hoping that the dynamic Celtic reforms get implemented because it's quite hard to get to 120 BC without achieving your VCs and/or losing interest.

    Also the noble types of Armored Horse Archers from the steppe. Maneuverability, deadly with a bow, and then powerful charge. What's not to like?

    I also like the tracian peltast they i think they are one of the best skirmisers in the game they are ideal for supporting phalnax and hoplites.

    They never rout and their casulty rates are almost none , no matter what they are fighting.Once i hold 2 units of Galaktikoi Kleruchoi with one of them and had total of 5 casualties in the end on huge size unit.
