- Mercenary Thracian Peltastai - The assault version of peltastai, because of their larger AoR, I'd rate them above their non-mercenary cousins. I tend to use them in a different, more conservative way compared to ordinary peltastai; usually shunning archers and cavalry and rushing into gaps or breaches.
These guys are one of the best general purpose units in the game. They are great for catching horsies.
