Favorite unit.

[Eduorius]

I like the Balearic slingers. Simple and effective.

I think the best units in the game are those that are cheap and give a lot more than they cost like casse short swordsmen. THey are ideal for massive tactics and theirs lack of statics is overcomed by their cheap cost.Just flood the enemy with them

[russia almighty]

I got to admit though I do like Neitos . Nothing more satisfying than disciplined "barbarians" cutting down "civilized" people .

Thraikioi Rhompaiaphoroi with that huge scary blade, great mesh/skin & such an onomatopoeic name, its my favourite
Totally playing Getai first thing when the next EB version comes out.

the gesatae or whatever the mercenary equievelent fro masia minor are called.
playing as the haysadan ive found them to be an extremely useful luxury soldier. they are noticably awesome in seiges both atacking and defending.

i am currently partaking in a punitve raid north west of the caspian to punish the sweboz, and i have two gesatae in my raid army. I like the idea of out barabarian-ing the germans!

of course haysadan have several cool units of their own. their various horse archers are extremely effective, but to generic to be a favourite. their generals are truly awesome i have never had one die on the battlefield.

Agarian assualt infantry and Princeps i like they way they look and they do my bidding nicely

[larsbecks]

I like the sacred band cavalry. I changed their animation to the two handed spear and its always cool to have that shield in front of their shoulder when they charge.

I really like my Xystophoroi Hippeis .

Not particularly "uber" , I guess I like the job(s) I make them do .

The just stand and watch until the time is right , then 2 units of them ( in my hoplite army ) carry out the wonderful task of collapsing a wing / slaughtering the general in a thunderous charge .

Since they are noble cavalry , they never-ever lose more than 3-4 guys per unit ( on large scale ) .

We will not waste carelessly the elite of our city .

I find myself liking more mid-tier ( aka early " elite " ) units , because by the time I can train Spartans ( for example ) I already have some tough-as-nails ( golden ) veteran hoplites for who I care a lot more .

Usually they are stuck together with an old ( also favourite ) dog-of-war general ( I found out that good generals are the selfish ones , cleverness is irrelevant , more important is that they do not regret breaking the famous eggs for the famous omelette ) and they're more precious to me than the city of Rome ( who never really liked me actually ) .

Does anyone else find himself under the charm of the veterans ?

Oh , a veteran KH general can actually take the pain from almost an entire army while the rest of his troops form an outer circle and proceed to slay everything in the circle quickly and efficiently . I discovered that today . Hooray for the war-monger/-master

spartan hopolites. Have you seen 300?

[Spoofa]

yes, but here they arent naked.


Nor do they randomly break formation to head into slowmo fighting.



Nor do they have a freakishly weird monster dude following them.


Nor do they have millions of other things.

[Thaatu]

Nor do they randomly break formation to head into slowmo fighting.

What?! Spartiates don't have the SlowMo attack in EB?

[MarcusAureliusAntoninus]

Sure they do, just try playing EB on an out-of-date computer.
