I have to disagree about the Pikemen; they seem to be very good at what pikemen are supposed to do. However, unless I'm missing something, Sword and Buckler Men are completely outclassed by units you get before them. Is there something I'm missing, or should I just stay with Chivalric Knights and forget about S&B Men?

On that note, why does everyone say Proffesional Gendarmes are so great? From my experience and the looks of their stats, they're quite mediocre, and outclassed by Chivalric Knights. Same for Knights of Santiago. So what is it that I'm missing?
