What is you favorite unit preview so far in MTW2??
I will have to go w/Berdiche Axmen or Venetian Heavy Infantry...i think think these infantry will be great shock troops and will be able to be used throughout the time span (if possible)

Re: Favorite Unit's Thus Far
Although there are a lot of really cool units that have been revealed thus far, my favorite is definantly going tho be the Gothic Knight. They have been skinned very realistically compared to what they looked like historically, and they will undoubtedly be one of the most powerful units in the game just as they were in the original.

Re: Favorite Unit's Thus Far
I like the Strzelcy. CA's units look so much better this time - more gritty and realistic than the dayglo RTW units.

Re: Favorite Unit's Thus Far
I've added a poll - the thread topic was crying out for one.
Reviewing all the units (I've listed them in reverse order of appearance), I can't help feeling they have gotten better as we come close to the release date. Both graphically, in looks, and also in terms of originality and historical interest. Maybe I am imagining it.
I guess I'd vote for the Scots Guard. As a realism fan, I like the fact that it is not a MTW retread or a bland generic unit, but an interesting and genuine historical unit that I had never heard of. Total War has always been an education for me; long may it continue to be so.

gothic kinghts are the coolest

Re: Favorite Unit's Thus Far
Venetian Heavy Infantry.
Re: Favorite Unit's Thus Far
Tough one, I for one don't like the fully plated things and knights much. So it was close between Trebizond Archers, Huscarls and Strezlcy.
In the end I choose for the Trebizond Archers, but I would have voted for all three if I had the chance.

Re: Favorite Unit's Thus Far
Venetian Heavy Infantry. Tough-looking, with minimal frills, and armed with a spiked hammer! I simply can't wait to see what they do to armored opponents.
Zweihanders were a close second, though, as I imagine them being a European equivalent to my old STW fave, the No Dachi. Man, I loved that unit. Wind 'em up and watch 'em carve through the enemy line. Ah, fond memories.

Re: Favorite Unit's Thus Far
knights, but when a musket unit comes out, it will replace it!
Re: Favorite Unit's Thus Far
Berdiche Axeman. By a long shot. Then, maybe the Scots Guard.

Re: Favorite Unit's Thus Far
I like the Venetian Heavies the best.
But I like almost all of them, close seconds (and thirds and fourths) going to Zweihanders, Strezlcy, and Scots Guard.

Re: Favorite Unit's Thus Far
zweihanders all the way
Re: Favorite Unit's Thus Far
Trebizond archers, I always was a sucker for hybrid archers. I hope the next preview will be a Janissary unit.
Re: Favorite Unit's Thus Far
I vote for the Knights Templar but I like also Scots Guard, Armoured Longbowmen, Venetian heavy infantry, Feudal knights, Trebizond archers and some other. All of the units looks great

Re: Favorite Unit's Thus Far
I'm wondering if camel trops are back in the game. Haven't seem in screenshots.

Re: Favorite Unit's Thus Far
My favorite unit so far would probably be the gallowglass, which were featured briefly in one of the developer videos, mostly because they look to have been done right
From the above list it would have to be the berdiche axemen. I like the masks.
Re: Favorite Unit's Thus Far
I'd like to see Highlanders and Janissaries... But in this pool i prefer Huscarls.

Re: Favorite Unit's Thus Far
I'm confident they're in. I'm looking forward to the return of Bedouin Camel Warriors for the Egyptians and the Turks. If not, then Mithrandir will probably go on a murderous rampage.
