missile infantry: Longbowmen
hybrid infantry: Janissary Infantry
light cavalry: Polish Retainers
heavy cavalry: Chivalric Knights

pavise arbalesters

Martok 20:43 09-22-2006

Spanish Jinnettes!

MadKow 20:45 09-22-2006

Jinetes.
Feudal Foot Knights (dismounted Druszina(sp?))
Jannisaries (all 3 of them)

Basileus 21:06 09-22-2006

I have to go with Jinetes aswell, loved them heh

Randarkmaan 21:12 09-22-2006

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.

Servius 21:14 09-22-2006

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.

IrishArmenian 22:06 09-22-2006

Bonnachts, Gallowglasses, Almogavars and Boyars.

For me it has got to be the Viking Huscarles. They were just as good as the VG's (with the armour requirement to build) and were available with only the second castle upgrade. I have fond memories of demoshiling anything before with with them and a few(maybe 8) knights. Playing as Danes I would build 3 every year so they could last all game and because of hem no matter what christian faction I played as my first goal was the conquest of scandinavia.

Man I loved those guys.

After them its very close fight with the Gothic Knights. Even beter playing as HRE and conquering Scandinavia early and haveing an army of 8 Huscarles and 8 Gothics. Goddamn talk about slaughter.

BaldwinIV 14:45 09-23-2006

1. Kataphraktoi
2. Crusader knights (Teutons, Templars and Hospitallers)
3. Feudal Foot Knights
4. Varangian Guards
5. Pronoiai Allagion
6. Byzantine Infantry

Janissary Heavy Infantry

danfda 15:07 09-23-2006

In vanilla, it probably is boyars or gothic knights. Very tough.

But in the XL mod, strange as it seems, my favorite is the Cuman Warrior.

Mount Suribachi 15:23 09-23-2006

Almohad Urban Militia.

Completely ficticious I know, but they were easy to get, +1 Valour in Granada and close to iron upgrades. Oh, and they kicked ass in Early

x-dANGEr 15:35 09-23-2006

Ghulam Bodyguards!

GiantMonkeyMan 15:39 09-23-2006

cannon elephants

seriously... i'd love to see some knights in a charge but i do like the old longbowmen, i'll be able to fully decide when its on the shelves but until then

Antagonist 15:52 09-23-2006

I think I'll have to resort to categories as well:

Light Infantry: Gallowglasses
Heavy Infantry: Halbardiers
Missile Infantry: Nizaris
Light Cavalry: Spanish Jinetes
Heavy Cavalry: Spanish Lancers
Missile Cavalry: Sipahi of the Porte

Antagonist

Maizel 16:05 09-23-2006

1: Kataphraktoi
2: Saxon Huscarles
3: Polish Retainers
4: Crusader Orders foot knights (awesome art)
5: Feudal foor knight (Aawesome art)

Too bad the drawn unit images in their discription are replaced by their ingame image

Zatoichi 16:16 09-23-2006

Gotta love those Swiss Armoured Pikemen! Also a big fan of Pavise Arbalests and Billmen.

They were the strongest unit in the game, weren't they?

t1master 16:54 09-23-2006

the lowly kern...

Darth Nihilus 17:22 09-23-2006

I had a few I just loved:
1. Gothic Knights*
2. Lancers
3. Kataphrakatoi

*The only reason I liked Lancers almost as much as Gothic Knights in the original was because Gothic Knights didn't have lances, but now that they do they will definantly be my favorite unit.

Beelzebub 17:51 09-23-2006

JInetes and varangian guard

Sun of Chersonesos 21:45 09-23-2006

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

hoom 06:48 09-24-2006

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.

SirGrotius 05:46 09-25-2006

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

DisruptorX 13:23 09-25-2006

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.

Callahan9119 15:41 09-25-2006

dont forget vikings

Biggus Diccus 16:00 09-25-2006

Woodsmen! The ultimate unit for low-cost armies. Gallowglasses and Clansmen, if you hold Ireland or Scotland. Gallowglasses have 8 charge and 5 attack, that's the same as Chiv knights have
