Favourite combinations of Auxilia/AoR troops
So far I've used some fun armies of auxiliaries and local troops in 0.9 I was wondering if anyone else has found some fun combinations that have worked surprisingly well on the battlefield?
I've found Macedonian pikes backed up by Gallic swordsmen work well, as well as providing an interesting variety in the army.

I like to use some celtic spearmen, iberian cav and auxilia archers. This provides some tactital flexibility and I usually conquer these lands first so i can have some decent infrastucture for their recruitment.

Re: Favourite combinations of Auxilia/AoR troops
As Rome I tend to give my legions auxilias native to their legion names - Take Legio IV Macedonia for example. I'm only allowed to recruit auxilias from Macedon, Thrace and Greece. For Hispania I may only recruit Iberian auxilias, etc. Makes for a very fun and immersive gameplay.
August Strindberg: "There's a view, current at the moment even among quite sensible people, that women, that secondary form of humanity (second to men, the lords and shapers of human civilisation) should in some way become equal with men, or could so be; this is leading to a struggle which is both bizarre and doomed. It's bizarre because a secondary form, by the laws of science, is always going to be a secondary form. Imagine two people, A (a man) and B (a woman). They start to run a race from the same point, C. A (the man) has a speed of, let's say, 100; B (the woman) has a speed of 60. Now, the question is 'Can B ever overtake A?" and the answer is 'Never!'. Whatever training, encouragement or self-denial is applied, the proposition is as impossible as that two parallel lines should ever meet."
