If your faction lacks AP, Militia Sergeants are better and have the same upkeep costs. The low builds reqs for UMs give you some infantry prior to Spearmaker/Swordsmith construction if the faction isn't blessed with Vikings/Slavs/Woodsmen/Clansmen. And with Peasants modded out, you need something early for garrisons. But their stats are just awful...
