    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.

    I have only seen enemy cav attack my phalanxes from the front.

    Fighting isn't about winning, it's about depriving your enemy of all options except to lose.
