Whats your favorite unit from MTW!
I start.My favorite is gothic knights.
Cant pick just one... I have to break it into categories.
light infantry: Billmen
heavy infantry: Chivalric Foot Knights, followed closely by Janissary Heavies
missile infantry: Longbowmen
hybrid infantry: Janissary Infantry
light cavalry: Polish Retainers
heavy cavalry: Chivalric Knights
missile cavalry: Boyars

Jinetes.
Feudal Foot Knights (dismounted Druszina(sp?))
Jannisaries (all 3 of them)
I have to go with Jinetes aswell, loved them heh
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"
-Stephen Fry
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

And when the brazen cry of achilles
Was heard among the trojans, all their hearts
Were troubled, and the full-maned horses whirled
The chariots backward, knowing griefs at hand...
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.

maybe those guys should be doing something more useful...
The Swiss Armored Pikemen in Vanilla and the Huscarls in VI. I loved both for their great everything.
"No Plan survives Contact with the Enemy."
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.

"Sit now there, and look out upon the lands where evil and despair shall come to those whom thou lovest. Thou hast dared to mock me, and to question the power of Melkor, master of the fates of Arda. Therefore with my eyes thou shalt see, and with my ears thou shalt hear; and never shall thou move from this place until all is fulfilled unto its bitter end". -Tolkien
