Dryad hoplites is perhaps the best heavy infantry in the game. Excellent stats, good gear, Awe+2, sacred, they really truly are excellent babes.

Revellers are bloody marvelous, but for totally different reasons from dryad hoplites. Suprisingly revellers and dryad hoplites are not available in same eras, one would almost to like to believe there is a reason

Centaur archers worthless? Well, I never recruited them true, but oh boy do I love them in PD's Longbow with good accuracy, and when/if the enemy gets through to them (or they go out of ammo), they just go into town with melee with damn good stats (and they get there fast, having cavalry speed and all that).

For me EA Pans are a clear Turmoil3/Luck3 nation, while LA requires Order scales. MA Pans have to choose either way, and plays differently based on the Order scale you took (with Order you get more of the heavy armoured troops, but with Turmoil you get all those nice&free maeanad.... decissions decissions; usually I take something like Turmoil 1 in an attempt to get the best of both ).

EA Pangaea is the only one with blood-saccing, and that makes them totally unique from the other era Pans.
