Macedonians actually have longer spears than hoplites. Hoplites hav better armor i suppose... either way it was extremely hard and nearly lost my 7 or 8 star general with 2 Silver Chevrons experience and Bronze/Bronze XD

I love the greeks. It's really easy to defend against others, especially in towns.
Just put 3 hoplit units next to a attacked wall and nobody will come through. One unit on the left side, one on the right and on in the middle. To defend the walls, just put some archer on top and use fire arrows against towers and rams.

The Romans are nice too after the marius reforms.

i know this is lame and very easy but I love Parthia. mounted archers are very strong because they cant be touched. full army of mounted archers will win almost every battle for you. other than that, I love Germania, gaul, selucid, and carthage. all very powerful. never got to like the romans because of the senate.

Carthage is probably one of my favorites. Sacred Band Hoplites and Cavalry are a pretty solid power army.

I like any of the rome factions the best just because you have 2 factions backing you up which makes it so much easier.

I'm a fan of the Scipii and the Selucids
