Rome Total War "Dream Team"

[Tidybeard]

I'm interested in what folks might think about this one - put together a "fantasy team" of 20 units of any combination from all factions within RTW. i.e. what would your ultimate army consist of if you could assemble a force consisting of any units within the game, be it Parthian Cataphracts, Spartan Hoplites, British Chariots etc? I'm not sure myself due to my fairly limited knowledge of many factions, but what do you chaps/chapettes think?

Fairly pointless I know, but maybe it could start an interesting debate.

12 Urban Cohorts and 8 Cataphracts.

[anduril38]

Probably Urban Cohorts and either Pretorian Cavalry or Gothic Cavalry.

[C-Rob]

4 cataphracts, 4 armenian cataphract archers, the rest persian nobles. Thanks for comin' out.

[Magic_8_Ball]

Barbarian Warlord Chaz, Catas, Urbans, Egyptian/Scythian Bowmen, and some HA, and Head Hurlers (but I'd probably be over 20 by then).

kthx

EDIT: Screw the archers if it's high money though.

[Tidybeard]

Well if the lad wants Legionaries then let him have Legionaries, I say.

I was going to say Equites, so pick the bones out of that one.

My 'dream team' would ideally consist of a mix of 20 units of all the big-boobied wenchly warriors, and instead of clicking 'Start Battle'...I'd get to get click 'Start Nudity'

But that aint gonna happen so I'm choosing the tried and tested 4-4-2 formation for my team...

Upfront..2 Spartan Hoplites
Midfield..4 Cretan Archers
Defence...4 Silver Shield Pikemen
Goalie...Armoured Elephant.

Beat that.

Alas, I'm an Everton fan so topping that would be nigh-on impossible. I'd be in for a pounding.

Toffees man eh matey? One of my favourite teams...always good for 6 points!!

How about this for a managerial masterpiece??

After the first 45 mins, I'd leave em all on but switch to a 3-5-2 formation, swamp the midfield and go in for the kill.


I absolutely refuse to pull the pikemen off at half-time. That's a job for the screeching women on the subs bench

I would make a 4 spartan hoplites with 2+2 urban cohorts on the flanks(bastarnae in the middle if only mercenaries available), behind them 3 onagers to block the enemy archers with 3 cretan archers and another urban cohort is the reserve, and the cavalry would be persian cataphrachts(mix of sarmatians and schythians the defensive mercenary option) with a single egytian chariot team.
