ive had excellent performance out of two hander swordsmen. especially the zwiehanders and the forlorn hope. if morale is good i will usually spread formation. for some reason they fight better that way.

on another note i like the swiss guard obvious there.

the papal guard rocks once they get partial plate the papal guard is one tough unit.

Best unit is Sudanese Tribesmen.

I think this could be a hidden trait to display space to swing swords.
Cost effectiveness, I think Highland Nobles, Woodsmen and Croat Axemen are among the best.
EDIT: I have a 2-Hand Fix, so that might render this useless to many of you.

The Forlorn Hope.
They are like walking tanks on crack. I wiped out three units of swiss guard with two units of forlorns.

Woodsmen also seem pretty useful.

Oh and Hungary's battlefied asassins are also very cool.
