What civilization has the worst unit roster in your opinion.

I find the Lusotanna to be pretty weak. There are no real units that i come to fear in their roster, plus very little cav i believe. Some quick cav and pretty much any medium infantry are enough to stone em cold in a fight

Yo Shmoof, check out the scortamareva, medium spear-men who also throw javelins before charging. Sorta like Roman triarii with missile capability.

True, affordable Lusotanni cavalry is just light skirmishers, but they're good enough for running down routers and mounted units are too expensive anyway, at least in the beginning. Just stick with the Family Members (FM's), they don't cost a dime.

And thanks for reminding me: When I get done with my current Pahlava campaign, I'll try another with Lusotanni on VH/H. A previous one on VH/M had a rare bug that turned out to be terminal, so it'll be fun to get in some payback against Rome and Carthage. No mercy this time, guys!

Cheers and welcome to the EB experience Shmoof.

Thanks friend :)

And I have only faced the Lusotanni on easy (First campaign, wanted to start off easy), but even considering that i was unimpressed. The medium spearman were tough nuts to crack, but they were just a nuisance in the end. Maybe i'll do some custom battles with their units versus Romans on medium or hard to get a better opinion, but as it stands they really unimpressed me.
