Total War Rome 2 Online Battle Commentary #47: Ardiaei Spear Spamming
The Ardiaei are actually a really strong faction on patch 15 when you play to their strengths, which basically amounts to spamming spears. I've tried builds that contain slave slingers and Illyrian cavalry, but they are super underwhelming at best and just take up unit slots.
All spear armies means you can simply disregard enemy cavalry for the most part, and 7 thureos spears give you all the skirmishing power you need. Cutting through ten 95+ armored hoplites is going to be VERY difficult for most factions, so get into melee, pop shield wall, and let the thureos throw their javelins. Works pretty well :P
