Regional troops

[Diamondj]

I have a couple of questions regarded regional troops, what are some units that are particularly worth recruiting? Which units are good for their price? Finally, which units are not good for anything but garrison duty?

By the way, if I forget to start the script up for a turn or two should I reload? or is it not a big deal as long as I don't miss anything essential?

You should have posted the faction your playing, too ;)


Some good regionals (for hellenic factions, anyway):

Thracian Elite Infantry

Thracian Peltats (best skirmishers in the game, Mak and Getai only)

Persan Archer/spearman

Bosporan Archers

Syrakousai Hoplitai (they´re teh r0x0rs!)

Hoplitai (some of the best medium inf/"workhorses" available in the game imho)

Scordisi elite infantry

nomadic noble mercenaries

scythian horse archers

balearic slingers

Thessalian Cavalry

Indian guild infantry



One or two turns without the script wont do you much harm mid or endgame, but you´ll always be better off with reloading the last save game with the script activated.

Oh, never played the romans in EB, so i really have no idea if the regionals i posted are available to you. Might want to check the EB recruitment viewer for further information
