    These should all be recruitable by any faction I think, using a level 5 regional MIC:

    8 Germanic Mercenary Generals
    4 Celtic Lesser Kings
    4 Helenistic Mercenary Generals
    4 Nomadic Noble Mercenary Generals

    Why is it unstoppable? Because it regenerates itself! As long as the general himself doesn't get killed...
    One balloon for not being Roman

    I use this set up and its pretty unstoppable, im getting heroic victories all over the place

    11 HA's any kind really but preferably armored.
    5 infantry units. I use "Fast moving" inf, usually 1-2 swordsmen and the rest spearmen.
    2 archer units, fast movers again.
    A cavalry general and 1 heavy cav unit.

    My inf hardly ever get any kills, my HA's and archers do most of the killing. I hold the infantry back just in case theyre needed. The other 2 cav units are used to charge from the back and kill routers.

    Bactria is prob the best faction for this.

    8 Babylonian Spearmen, 8 Cretan Archers, and 4 Prodromoi. The Babylonians, with their axes, spears, and armor can take on most melee units. The Cretans can deal with horse archers and act as light infantry. The Prodromoi could flank phalanxes and deal with skirmishers.

    I think we got a winner...

    EDIT: Is there anyone who has actually ever tried playing with unlimited ammo? That is definitely my worst nightmare.
