The Greeks are an infantry focused faction. Their strengths are very strong phalanx units that can crush infantry and cavalry alike and are also available early in the game. The most notable and strong Phalanx units are the very tough Armoured Hoplites and the Legendary Spartans. Their archers are average, though strong mercenaries are available locally. They also have strong siege weapons. Their cavalry is their weakness; it is the worst in the game and the only good choice is the Generals Armoured Bodyguard.
