    Janissaries were lots of fun, slaughtered a massive Papal States crusade with a mostly janissary (heavy infantry and the infantry/archer hybrid) army once, lots of fun just smashing through their lines showering them with arrows and chasing them off the field and then meeting a wall of new reinforcements who were slaughtered.
    "One of the nice things about looking at a bear is that you know it spends 100 per cent of every minute of every day being a bear. It doesn't strive to become a better bear. It doesn't go to sleep thinking, "I wasn't really a very good bear today". They are just 100 per cent bear, whereas human beings feel we're not 100 per cent human, that we're always letting ourselves down. We're constantly striving towards something, to some fulfilment"

    Feudal Sergeants are pretty big for me. I think I made more of them than any other unit ever. They held the line in Europe AND Outremer. They're also the last spearmen to ever face a challenge, since by the time I could make Chivalric Sergeants, I was already unstopable.

    interesting i am exceptionally excited to play as the venetian heavy infatry, however there are certain factions that would be rather unexpected to be in the gme such as the Sicilians as i am also very excited to try their units out too.

    NAZARI

    my favorite unit in big mp battles, fast, great ranged dmg and they had very good attack stat, they could flank with the best of em

    also arbs, but they were such a needed asset to all armies that i wont say they are my favorite as everyone had to have them most of the time

    otherwise i would say almohad urban militia, for the price they couldnt be beat as heavy inf


    this is my opinion before the cheese lancer patch, i quit after that...so others may prefer the heavy cav

    Gallowglasses for their single use fire & forget ability to cut their way into a tough enemy :)
    More mundane, Militia Sergeants, the backbone of my armies, easily available in good numbers and sturdy against most enemies.
    Chivalric Foot for small numbers deathsquad style overkill (Gothics with their crusader Great Helm that should have been a Sallet just didn't do much for me)

    Least favourite, actually the popular leader around here, Jinettes; every time I tried using them they did hardly anything then got pannicked & ran away even when used in the most favourable circumstances I could find.

    The Swiss Armored Pikemen in Vanilla and the Huscarls in VI. I loved both for their great everything.

    Gallowglasses and Highland clansmen. Extremely high offense, cheap, and well....very low defense. My favourite light infantry by far. Since Scotland will be playable in 2, I fully expect the clansmen to return, and the Gallowglasses will probably be back too, hopefully.

    Honorable mention for abyssinian guard and Ghazi infantry. Axemen are fun for their armour piercing ability.
