If this has been a subject, feel free to scrap it, but I didn't see this question. I'm sure it relates to the Billmen-type inquiry, but for good measre:
What exactly are western Halberdiers good for? They have much less armor than the eastern variant, though they get a spearwall formation. As I recall, MTW's Halberdiers were fairly solid infantry late game. Yet in M2TW, they don't really seem like anything great. They get more kills against some enemies than my spear militia, but on the flip side, they die easier. They haven't really impressed me...at all. The eastern version I've found quite formidable, on the other hand, and it has no formation. Am I missing something? Halberdiers and Saracens have annihilated Crusader infantry as the Turks, but my HR types pale in comparison.
