    Dromon - for versatility and cool factor

    Enkidu Warrior - allows me to survive at higher difficulty levels

    Berserks - amphibious war in the Early Middle Ages - and a decent attacker even without sticking them on a ship

      Sir Ralph expressed my thoughts more clearly than I could. I also have an affection for the berserker. Being able to use seaborne assaults with that nice attack rating...it's so awesome.

        To me, "favorite" does not equal "ones I think are most powerful" (else I would mention Immortals, which I find rather boring). Going with that:

        1. Samurai. Just plain cool.
        2. Jaguar Warrior, before the nerf for MP. Early-game madness.
        3. Dromon. I fell in love the first time I saw that Greek fire animation.

          Anything with extra movement especially panzers, although I don't usually get that far into a game.

          Regular tanks are just too easy to counter, the TOW infantry makes quick work of 'em.

          Favorite and most used, would be ..... riders, sipahi, gaellic warriors or jaguar warriors.

          Problem with jaguar warriors is that ultra early warfare totally undermines all strategic decisions due to the extreme randomness of battles especially in that era.

              Favorite?? I suppose that would be whichever I'm playing at the time.

              I haven't played all of the civs, but have played against them all. The War Elephant has a scary sound that accompanies it as does the Dromon.

              I do enjoy the Fortify motion as well as the battle animation of the Samurai.
