Potatomcwhiskey says Hopilities are the best unit in the game.
For early warfare I agree. Particularly as Greece, their adjacency bonus coupled with the military card slot bonus is overwhelming. They’re available almost immediately and they are cheap.
The Legion scales better and its promotions are better. It gets one chop and it can make a fort. The upgrades you give it cause a bunch of eurekas, and ultimately they become a swimming two-attack four movement behemoth.
Gun to your head, which would you choose, the Spartan Phalanx or the Roman Legion?
