Hmmm I found their use to be rather limited.
They are very weak against any cavalry that is ranged (incl jav), but can do a good deal of damage against bodyguards in a melee fight. However, they cannot keep up with chivalric knights on the other hand, even if they are on top of a slope - possibly because there are more chivs than bodyguards usually.
Against infantry, they are decent, but not too strong due to their own limited number and missile fire strips them of their hp very quickly. Quite useless for storming walls again due to limited number.
I ended up using them to attack missile-fire depleted units that have walked long distances towards me already.
Thats hashashim btw. Battlefield assassins are probably worse because their stats are worse.
I think what they really lack is "fast moving" and a few extra men - they only have 24 while most other sword infantry have 48 or 60.

I think that in an infantry battle they'd be worthwhile, but against cavalry they'd be swept away (hit points don't matter on a charge iirc) and against missiles they'd be shot to pieces

Not sure how they hold up to a charge but if you can get them into melee with a generals unit they can definately take them down, where they really come into their own though is defending, and storming to a lesser extent, castle walls.
I use them as the moors along with Urban Militia as the backbone of my infantry, and they are very useful as the Turks as well. One of the main problems with them is the fact that that you can't upgrade their armour, their smaller unit size doesn't seem to hamper them much but I haven't got to the later stages yet as I keep getting bored and re-starting.
What I like about them - they don't route. At least they never have in my battles. If you need to slow down the enemy, they will be tremendously effective.
Sending two or three hashishim units against Urban Militia usually routs the enemey, not my guys ;)
I used them to assault cities and guard my artillery.
They are not that great against enemy generals. Although you could surprise and occupy a BG unit withi them for a short time until you attack that unit with something else.Originally Posted by SultanSaladin
Hashi are best used against enemy infantry, supported by other troops, or (obviously) in ambush. They are useful in cities. They are a fun unit.
