Wat Are All Of Your Favourite Units!?

[Warluster]

In Chivalry Total War is probal Noble Knights, they look awesome in all that armour, plus they kick all! Lances,swords, with arrows flying past, uh....

[IrishArmenian]

Dvor: Heavy Calvary with a bow? What more could you want?
Monster Ribualt: So many barrels!
Cossack Musketeers: Class unit! Musket and melee attack to boot!
Retinue Longbowmen: Love the longbow
Camel Gunners: Gunpowder, on a camel!
Boyar Sons: Javelin throwers able to finish off their opponents.
Jinetes: faster moving Boyar Sons with more ammo instead of armour
Cossack Calvary: Steppe Archers who are relatively inexpensive and much better than Kazaks.
Cataphract Archers in RTW
Cataphracts in RTW
Almogavars in MTW

[SCRIBE]

Varangian Guard (MTW until they get fixed in M2TW)-Barbarian Fury+Civilized Discipline= Ownage

Indeed,

Kataphracts (MTW) -
cause the soldier that resembles a rumbling and charging medieval aged oven PWNS

Steppe Heavy Cav (MTW) -
Armoured, Ability to fight well, Horse Archer capabilities - Don't mess...

Longbowmen - longbows...nuff said

Almughavars - interesting and rare unit

Italian Infantry - now thats a bunch of tough spicy meatballs...

I'll remember the rest...

[Fighting-Till-Done]

In RTW, i love Egypt... Since the release of the patches they are not as strong...BUT, they are still a great faction to use and hard to deal with if used correctly.

[Caius]

In RTW, if you love archers, use Cretan Archers.
Urban Cohort
Praetorian Cavalry
Barbarian Noble Cavalry
Rhodian Slingers
And...
War elephants

[marcusbrutus]

I love units that can make it through a whole game without many losses so...

MTW - Longbowmen (Welsh, of course)

RTW - Wardogs, release the hounds!

[Seamus Fermanagh]

In vanilla RTW, I always liked the following combo:

Archers, Dogs, and a Pike block.

Pike block goes up to the bridge entrance and waits. As the enemy begins to cross, release the hounds through the pikes. The hounds won't kill many, but who cares? The totally clog up the bridge giving your archers scads of time to thin out the attackers -- who are met with pikes when they finally get done chopping doggies.



Overall, for the vanilla units, I just loved Illyrians. Denarius for denarius, there were no better troops in the field.

Wow, Caravel, I had no idea you were so fond of the Muslim units. I suddenly understand why they're receiving extra attention in your new mod, though.

Definitely my biggest laugh of the week! Thanks, buddy.

[Sensei Warrior]

Whatever unit I am using at the moment. To be a little more specific about units I have liked in the past.

The TOP 10 LIST of fav units in MTW/VI:

10. Celtic Warriors - never question a horde of smelly, half-naked Celts.
9. Spanish Jinettes - but only when I play them, these are the most hated unit when the bad guys have them.
8. Swabian Swordsmen - the mostly unknown German version of Huscarles.
7. Steppe Hvy Cavalry - Hvy Cav with bows ... yummy.
6. Billmen - AKA mobile can-openers
5. Jannisary Hvy Inf - AKA Turkish can-openers
4. Jannisary Infantry - along with 5 the only 2 units the Turks will ever need.
3. Longbowmen - nuff said.
2. Camels - because I'm to scared of Mithrandir to leave them out.

... and finally Sensei's most favorite unit in MTW/VI:

1. Urban Militia - but only when led by Tancred de Normandie, and especially after I have taken over a provence with Iron and have made a Master Weaponsmith and sometimes a Master Armourer. Sometimes he's the only unit I really need.

[caravel]

Wow, Caravel, I had no idea you were so fond of the Muslim units. I suddenly understand why they're receiving extra attention in your new mod, though.

I rarely play anything but Muslim factions or the Byzantine, with the occasional Novgorod or Hungarian campaign. Of the catholic units I would have to go with:

1) Chivalric Foot Knights
2) Billmen
3) Longbows
4) Jinetes
5) Vikings

For the orthodox it's simple:

1) Trebizond Archers
2) Pr0n Cavalry

[Darkarbiter]

Macedon's Kestrophone that I think are only in RTR.

[TheBritonBasher]

I like British light chariots and head hurlers. I like the Britons too. I like to bash peoples skulls in with them, that is why my name is what it is.

[Czar Alexsandr]

Ah my favorite unit.

Boyar from MTW 1. They guys were good heavy cav and had the common sense to let the enemy eat arrows before engaging.

Next probably my Steepe Cav. Nothing beats the knights of Rohan attack!

And last would be my Bulgarian Brigands. I like them. They're better than Trebizond and don't ask for much money. Cause they're all Bulgarian serial killers?

Oh from Shogun.. No-Dachi swordsmen. None can beat the Shimazu Kamikazies!

I don't have MTW 2 yet and I've never played RTW.

[Bellum]

Haven't played any of the other factions yet, but I'd have to say that right now my fav TW units are the Billmen from M2:TW. I just love how everyone seems to hate them, and how I none the less manage to use them so effectively.

[naut]

2) Pr0n Cavalry

Oh my, that made me cry with laughter. Its so true aswell.

[Byzantine Emperor]

MTW: Billmen, Longbowmen, Kataphraktoi, Gothic Knights.

RTW: Legions, Cataphracts (again), Armoured Hoplites, Berserkers.

M2TW: I'm not sure yet, but I do like Byzantine Infantry.

[Kralizec]

2) Pr0n Cavalry

Probably the most overpriced unit in the game.

[warking]

ok you huys nice now plz get your friends to come and tell me theirs !!!!!






p.s. i love all forms of archers!


sincerly ... warking ...................................

[Caius]

Love the Urban cohort, but they didnt exist.

[{Don}_Sky{Mh}]

Portuguese Arques because they have a pretty good ranged attack and are fair in combat compared to other ranged units.

Bagn! (It's supposed to be spelled that way) :D

[ELITEofWARMANGINGERYBREADMEN88]

in VI, Swiss Armoued Pikemen and Anything Swiss :) :)

[Kralizec]

Love the Urban cohort, but they didnt exist.

They did exist, actually. Just not during RTW's timeframe (neither did the Praetorians), and they never numerous.

[Severous]

Egyptian chariot generals. (RTW)

Good with missiles. Spiked wheels make them effective killers of enemy generals and cavalry.

[Shahed]

M2:TW
Turkomans
Kapikulu
Mongol Horse Archers
Khan's Guard

[caravel]

Probably the most overpriced unit in the game.

They're the same training cost as Feudal Knights though they are more expensive to support. Statisticaly Feudal Knights have 2 points more charge and 1 point less armour. Overall Feudal Knights are better, though as the Byzantines they're about the best shock Cavalry you can get hold of, they also get the valour bonus in Nicaea. Once teched up and with morale upgrades from religious buildings they are quite a potent force, though a somewhat overpriced one. Kataphraktoi are quite simply just too slow. I've never found much of a use for them.

[PureFodder]

Camel Gunners - run and gun action

[Warluster]

In M2TW it is defintly Grand Bombard's and Musketeers!

[Murfios]

Happy New Year.

[baron_Leo]

Happy New year! And if you read my sig you'll know what my fav unit is:-)
