They are from around 1569, but your are too, I think, but the difference is that Haiduks in the form you have posted didn't appear in Polish armies at all, and in Hungarian forces they were rather very rare, if at all - they look like balcan bandits from Serbia, Wallachia or something like this...
Your units are usually good, sometimes very good, but this is a mistake which should be corrected, especially since it is for Poland and I can't ignore mistakes made in 'my' () period.

Cegorach
The only regular Haiduks that I am aware of are those from poland. As far as I know, Erdely (Transylvannia) also featured some Haiduk, but I have no pictures that directly portray them, only indirect ones, via Poland (Bathory).
So these Haiduks I guess are best suited only for the sort of irregular warfare of the Ottoman-Hungarian border. Which does put us in teh spot regarding Poland, but we'll figure something out, don't worry. Besides, we are now considering RTW edition of the Citadel as a sort of practice run for the real thing (MTW 2 edition of the Citadel, where we shall use teh raw material from MTW2 as well as our own unique units to fill the gaps).
Shark - regarding description for Haiduks
The description is in part OK, but in part not. First of all, we should shorten it a bit, by deleting some of the surplus text. Also, one gets the feeling as if Haiduks existed only in Serbia, and this is not so - they were a regional phenomenon. We should also mention one thing that Cegorach has pointed out, that Haiduks were also used in the 1570-1630 period, in Poland, as regular salaried infantry, fighting in liear fashion, only without pikes.
