Which indy units do you like to build?

Of course it varies alot depending on what nation I have. Some nations need as much archery support as it can get. Others need front-line troops more. Some need quality, some need quantity. But I did vote for my Favorites.

I guess you didn't include cavalry and sacred amazon troops because they are an obvious choice? These are the only indie troops I consider building usually. And amphibious ones, of course.

Sorry, I didn't realize it wouldn't let you choose zero. As for cavalry / sacreds - I didn't want to go through EVERY indy unit, just the infantry and archers at first. You can't change a poll once it is posted.

I wanted to vote for more than 7 or 8 in both archer and melee categories (e.g., I would use any armor type of the shortbow and crossbow types, and others), and a couple I hadn't really evaluated yet.

Why did you limit the number of selections to fewer than the number of choices?

Heh. I'm the only one who has voted for Tribal Warrior! You guys are missing out on some super bargain-basement cannon fodder!

I just love nightmares, and I usually build a fort in a feudal kingdom if I don't have a good cavalry myself. Feudal provinces are usually rich so it's good for the economy as well, and I'm a big cavalry warfare fan. I also build a fort in amazon provinces failry often, since I want to have an access to their sorceresses secured, so I might as well recruit a few of their sacred troops if I can afford them along the way. I tend to find all other indie troops fairly unattractive, as I like to adjust to the style of the nation I chose for the most part.
