Which (mainland Greek faction) is superior?

**Spoofa** · 09-11-2007, 04:02

rebellious greeks...... taking the most defend able position in greece...

you're lives would be much nicer under the makedonian rule, with our big long sarissa's...... (figurative language for somthing else that is makedonian and big and long.....?

)

Oh if the KH can recruit Thessalikoi, then that's alright. They are called medium cavalry, but the way they can hold their own against even hetairoi, I'd say they deserve to be called heavy cavalry. On the light side, but still heavy. The Thessalikoi are the heaviest and best-performing medium cav ingame IMHO, and if the KH have them, all that's missing is larger unit sizes, and we're all set. Even as it is, they are now viable.

Hmmm in the newest build use beta guys are getting.....Epirotes easy. Best Units+Best Skins=Ownage.

**pezhetairoi** · 09-11-2007, 04:12

Hmm. Without telling us too much, are you saying Epeiros has changes, have other factions been nerfed so Epeiros becomes easier? I much prefer Makedonia personally, the Black Death is deadlier than the Grey one! Or the Green one, which to me is just a species of mold.

Rofl.

mr.yard stop telling us GOODIES.

to my friends and family due to the amount of time i would be spending in my room on my computer than have u tell us b4 I can see it.

Well, I can say.......they did get the best unit of the game. The mighty Bartix Elite Pikemen, unstoppable in life, even more powerful in death. All shall temble under their might! Muha!

I like them because I like their skins better then the maks *cept the mak Hypaspistai which is awsome and Hysteroi Pezhetairoi with their purple cloaks*. And I think it's safe to say and assume from the previews no faction hasn't been left unchanged, that's why it's still in beta stage after all.

*Pet's his pretty Molosson Agema and Illyrian Units*

Makedonia!

Hetairoi + phalanx = enemy slaughter

In fact, after I had built up 2-3 phalangite armies with hetairoi, my Makedonia just steamrolled everything from romans to seleucids so easily that it almost got boring - every battle ended with total or nearly total enemy slaughter, with less than 100 own casualties...

Makedonia are the greatest faction on the game. It is almost impossible to be beaten when you have agryspidai, the assault infantry and decent archers.

I personally don't like KH, their lack of cavalry really hampers the way I like to fight. Their unit roster just isn't as strong as Makedonia either.

I have never been Epeiros, for the same reason that I refuse to be AS or Ptolomies, they are dirty underhand cheating scoundrels! So I can't really comment on them.

The problem with RTW is that it's very easy to be very cheap with phalanxes, as once in a decent line they're almost impossible to break through. One thing I'm half wondering is if it might be an idea for EB to either make the units smaller or raise the price.
