Which pre-modern military would you have most liked to serve

>>3166854

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

>>3166854
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

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.

>>3167103
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 erômenos 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.

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

>>3166854
One of Nikephoros Phocas' cataphracts or an Athenian marine during Pericles' era

>>3166854

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.

>>3166854
Of course you want to. You're a faggot.

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

>>3167054
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.
