Hmmm after a bit more play/though....

crossbows: they are acturally not bad if ur the turks... the only reason they really suck is because of arbalest:/... otherwise they still prove much more effective at anti armor range than other archers...

Ottman infantry: they aren't that bad.... they are cheaper and can be built everywhere (unlike JI) and have a armor piercing attack...

Ottman Sipahi: ok they are total crap.... they are basicaly saharan cav with a bit more defense but less speed.... their attack make them rather useless against anything except archers... their extra defense is still not nearly enough to make them fight heavier cav and they really don't ahve enough charge to make them serious flankers. ... as for medium cav goes I rather have something like mounted sergents that have a real charge.....

Sipahi of porte: ok... 20 unit horse archers??? no thx.. half unit boyar that comes at late = suck.
