    Additional CS against damaged foes is tasty topping and makes everything perfect for roleplaying. Take the vampires, play like vampires, put on your black bathrobe, darken the light, giggle insane from time to time and be an evil imperator!

      @@TheCivLifeR Agreed, but that's their purpose. They are reasonably cheap (especially with Agoge) and the fact that you get 2 of them just makes them perfect as a swarm unit. Just get a good production capital and you'll have an insane horde in no time. I often see them compared to Mongolian Keshigs, which is logical since it's the only other horse archer we can train, but that doesn't make sense. Keshigs are meant to be veteran units, and Sakas are meant to be expendable. Try them as a swarm unit, it does really work. And if they don't work out, they're just highly mobile crossbowmen.

    I know you keep mentioning that Macedon is heavily start position-dependent, and it is, but I remember when it was first added and you didn't even need iron or horses to make hypaspists and hetairoi. Add that with the fact that loyalty wasn't a thing and Macedon was NUTS. The only two civs that even stood a chance at the time were Rome and Greece - hoplites actually made a lot of sense when their adjacency bonuses and anti-cavalry strength were the only thing between you and the 200 horsemen of the apocalypse led by a great general. Phalanx tactics were the ONLY thing keeping Rome and Greece alive against Macedon back then.

    I feel like the Gaul should be ranked higher; their Gaesatae are just kinda cracked. Due to Ambiorix, they receive (sort of) a double support bonus. And their +10 combat strength vs unit with higher base strength is just so good. They can reliably take out Swordsmen in a 1v1 and even Men-at-Arms are a fair match-up, granted that the Gaesatae is defending. I even managed to kill an Oromo Cavalry using them (no, not on Deity, it was on Emperor). Yes, Gaul overall isn't that good(compared to the rest), but still, they take the 11th spot no doubt.

    I think Spain is even better than Byzantium for a Domination/Religion style victory. The +5 against other religions combined with crusade +10 and a religious unit +10 can give you up to a +25 combat strength in your conquistadores. You can turn an enemy city to your religion but if the enemy holly city still follows a different religion you will cash both buffs. The intercontinental trade routes makes it that you can spawn armies and fleets out of thin air. If you add a couple of wonders like oracle, casa de contratacion, colossus, alhambra... you can become quite strong.

    Russia with dance of the auroras + work ethic + voidsingers is #1 at domination. If you start near a natural wonder (or two) you can have +20 production cities with 1 pop as soon as you get a religion. Making it +35 once you unlock theology. And you can pack 5-6 cities around 1 natural wonder with some planning. Once you get theology and build grandmaster’s chapel, you already have about 500 faith per turn (large map, normal speed, loads of conquering) and can buy armies with faith. Voidsingers also turn 20% of that into gold, culture and science. It’s so fun to play and Diety AI got nothing on you.

    I disagree with hoplites being outclassed by swordsman if you rush hoplites they go from like 28 strength to 33, which is slightly less than swordsman. But if you have 2 mil policies it’s 35,(+2 loyalty, 50% production for anti cavalry or 1 unit maintenance) and typically as gorgo for the most part atleast half of your hoplites probably have a promotion for extra combat ability from fighting barbs and frankly swordsman. The problem with hoplites is as time goes on pikeman and pike and shot won’t cut it by the time man at arms are out. If I’m gorgo I try to get access to horses just to sell them to opponents early game for anti cavalry bonus, also if you’re asking why you wouldn’t just want a swordsman if they are equal without promotions and 2 mil policies, because you don’t have to have iron.

      If you are set on a particular strategy with Babylon from the beginning, then yes, you need luck. But Babylon can rush so many damn things that it's only a matter of adaptability. Sure, you can hit some extremely bad luck, but in general you will always have SOME strategics around you.
      Also, Byzantium's strength is limited to land combat and some early coastal waters combat. You can't play it to it's fullest strength on a more naval map. But for Babylon, be it land, sea or air, it always has something it can reach some 2-3 eras before anyone else.
      BONUS: Rushing Apprenticeship (+1 mines production), then Industrialization (another +1 mines production), then Ruhr Valley can be done even before turn 100 on standard speed, which can easily give you a 100+ production city. If you also put an encampment in that city, it can print units faster than the whole Byzantium empire all by itself.
