I absolutely love those Persian-mercenaries with the coat of plate armor and the spear + mace.

IMO, they are the epitome of the standard mercenary unit. Same goes for Messlinian hoplites with the spear + sword.

Maybe it's because they have a spear and a backup weapon and they're equally good in both...making them good against both infantry and cavalry.

Jack of all trade mercs ftw. :D
