If you had a choice, in which EB unit would you serve?

I'll maybe be the Hopliatai Spartanoi or something.
I'll be that unit, cuz it's GLOURIOUS. Proud Spartans, march into battle. the EB Sprtans are good, unlike
the ones in 300. just look at them, they're using an Underware, a cape, and a Helmet!!!
on the other hand, maybe I'll be a Praetorian,
we just sit down, follow the emperor. but we only stay in Rome, and go PARTEYYY
every night!!

Spartans? You'll endure homosexual abuse as your part of training, regularly sodomized when you are young, and forced to share your wife with each other when you are older... Yeah... some account did say that Spartan Homosexual pederasty was an Abstience typed (just ceremonial, not really doing that), but maybe some account that said they did the homosexual acts are telling the truth.

And Praetorians? Yeah they just stay at Roma and party everynight with hot chicks your lesser comrades provide as slaves from the frontline. But when your Generals got ambitious and starting to doing something nasty... you'll be first to be tortured and murdered.... from behind...

Hm... Duguntz said right about 270 BC, other culture other rules and ideas what is right or wrong. The same thing would be about Spartans. If nothing prevents you to eat people or to having homosexual acts except public opinion, why not? We are living only once! Just kidding.

To be a garrison is not a good idea. During the siege solders die (i mean the siege itself, not the battle), and it could be even you. Also who sow AI retraining troops? (May be on EB on Alex.exe yes)

May be being a heavy peltast standing on the bridge with phalanx is a good idea? You will not melee, but throwing javelins, and phalanx would hold the enemy on the bridge. If you loosing, you could hide in the forest or long grass, as your unit is not captains' of course.
