Never really liked the longbowmen in MTW. Didn't think they had the accuracy of other units although, if you use that many then the barrage of arrows you put up makes sure it doesn't rreally matter!

Always had a soft spot for the Byzantine Cavalry in MTW myself. Horse archers with some armour and a decent melee attack. Often used them to bait stronger units onto spearmen or kataphraktoi ambushes.
