hahaha nice one Grriffon

You must say the unit name AND post a picture from the website please.

Ill grab mine



to be honest this bloody pic does not do them justice. Just beware when you hire them as mercs, Expect high casualties till you get them good equipment and some experience. Which usually ends up with their numbers being thinned out.

Even still if they end up with only 25 men, Keep them behind the Phalanx/Battleline, then use them as a killing squad.

Giusim Aravim Tsfonim (Arabian Light Archer-Spearmen)



I had never played Saba until a couple days ago, these guys are battle winners for me. Absolutely tear up phalanxes from behind, even elites.

I don't use them as line infantry, but I have stopped a cavalry charge (by Ptolemeic bodyguards no less) or two when the chaos of battle left my rear area open. Held them long enough for better troops to get there, but I shudder to think what might have happened if they'd been standard archers.

My favorite hoplite unit would be the good old Spartiatai:


My second favorite hoplite unit, being quite close with my first choise, would be the Epilektoi.

Oh God, I totally didn't think sacred band or liby-phoenecian axemen would count. These elite liby-phonecian axemen are quite probably my favorite unit in the game period, much less favorite hoplite.

Good call!

This one is cool too :) Agema Hellenikon

I love steppe factions, and this is the most steppe-influenced heavy infantry there is. Granted, they will lose to Indohellenikoi Eugeneis, but that doesn't make any difference when my horse-archers are decimating them from behind :p
