To go beyond the single books:

Best pre 1 AD army
Best 1 - 1000 AD Army
Best post 1000 AD European/near east army
Best post 1000 AD non-european/near east army

to get the ball rolling:

Later Seleucid
Arab Conquest
Santa claus/ Medieval CA
Ghaznavid

Arab Conquest is too vulnerable to armoured foot. Believe me, I've tried. It is a win or lose army though.

Dominate Roman by far the best in this period. Dailami is somewhat similar, like a fast moving Roman, but
more vulnerable as MF. It also doesn't have the "I have 20 million BGs, hahaha, you can't win" effect* as
everything in the army is expensive.

Later Ottoman Turkish is better.

Well, aside from being all girly and running away, I had considered Late Ottoman as a near east army

I'd say that the best army of any period is the one that rolls sixes -consistently.

What,....................elephants, elepants more like

Bactrian Greek (no foot)
Italian Ostrogoth
PLC Byzantine
Koryo Korean

do I detect a Lancer theme to your choices Phil?

Lances, beer, both have the same effect. Sort the men from the boys.

My Swiss have neither which might explain their lack of success.

Take a minaret as the baggage, that should encourage them.
