For me, it's the Sacred Band of Thebes.

So you can make sweet gay love after killing some Spartans?

I'll go with post-Khosrau I Sassanid cataphracts.

Caesar's own space marines on our great crusade to remove gaul from the premises

Army of the First Crusade.
But it'd be weird for an SEAsian to do so, so I opt for the Army of the Ilkhanate during the time of Hulagu and Abagha.

The mercenary forces of the Angles, Saxons, Jutes and Frisians during the conquest/founding of England, just like my ancestors

back to >>/pol you disgusting bigot

Knights of St. John tbqh

but he's right that's why I said the Sacred Band of Thebes

Do you know anything about the SB?

the varangian guard

Companion Cavalry, or Armored Celtic Cavalry.

I would kill you if I were not angry.

News flash: your story ends with your military getting btfo, Thebes gets raised to the ground, and Boeotian continues to be a byword for idiot.

Thebans. Not even once.

ok but in the imaginary scenario where i get to serve in the scared band i fight in the battle of leuktra with my qt femboy erĂ´menos and i die before the battle of chaeronea so fuk you

I would be a Spartan. Thanks to my brilliant advice, Sparta would successfully hold power following the Peloponnesian War.

The blessing of Spartan hegemony would allow Hellenic learning to flourish in allied city-states like Athens, and Spartan space-colonies would be established circa 2nd c. BCE.

Also, I would burn Thebes to the ground and sell its people into slavery. Also, Agesilaus & Xenophon would like me, and we would hang out all the time and drink black broth together.

holy shit fuck off you attention whoring tripfag

probably the byzantine tagmata

Preatorians. High social status and little of work.

Varangian guard.

Why????

A E S T H E T I C S

That guy has no trip. That's just a name. This is a trip.

TAGMATA SPAMMERS OUT REEEEEEEEEEEEE

> ywn BTFO Tagmata faggots in Attila MP anymore with the Ostrogothic Kingdom's spear veterans and hear them complain about pay-to-win

Why the fuck can't CA make a multiplayer component that actually retains a player base longer than two months.

One of Nikephoros Phocas' cataphracts or an Athenian marine during Pericles' era

EITHER IN FIFTH CENTURY B C E SPARTAN MILITARY FORCES, OR IN LATE THIRD CENTURY C E ROMAN MILITARY FORCES.

I feel like you'd be a Viking. Yelling all the time really fits the image.

Of course you want to. You're a faggot.

Thanks Alexander killed them all out, few things he did absolutely JUST!.

No. Queers are more disgusting, there is a very good reason they're major carriers of HIV and Syphilis. Resenting queers is a natural defense mechanism of healthy human minds.
