In your opinion, what are best ancient warriors.

ancient as in before the colonies.

The Franks, the Spartans, and the Turks and the vikings were pretty damn effective in my opinion.

I am the ballot in your box

the story that just begun
the promise of what's to come
and I will remain a soldier til' the war is won.

The Immortals, one of the deadliest fighting forces in all of Ancient Asia. Spartan hoplites, and the Roman Legion was one impressive army.

One thing I thought was kinda cool about the Immortals is that they're one of the few actual Ghost armies. They're reported in Thermoplye, Marathon, and many other Greco-Persian wars, and other Persian conquests. They're even mentioned by Alexander the Great, some two hundred years later! But there is hardly anything known about them, and no one knows how they fought or how good they were. They were indeed the Immortals, because when they're mentioned in battles, the next paragraph will be Persian victory. Ephiates gives Xerxes the secret path, he sends the Immortals. Spartans loose within hours. They were defeated finally by Alexander the great, though. Few offical armies are so few, however. Ten thousand of them in the battle of Issus? Are you crazy? Alexander had hundreds of thousands of hoplites, and all other Persian forces were threefold that or more. Very cool, very odd army in my opinion. Who led them? No one knows. How they fought? No one knows. But they must have been effective to last for hundreds of years, and they never changed the amount once.

gotta go with Sparta's armies and Alexander the Great's army. Egypt and even the nation of Judah. Read Kings or Chronicles and you'll see what I mean. Judah won lots of fights they had no business winning. As for the others... Alex conquered most of the known world, Egypt had quite the empire going, and Sparta was just plain awesome.

The Mongols. they conquered a massive amount of the world in there time. they had more than the U.S.S.R ever had at the peak of there power. they had dominated most of Asia, part of Europe and would've conquered more if it hadn't been  for massive troop biuld ups of enemy nations.
