Favorite single unit?

I've been following the Favorite Faction thread, was wondering...

What's your favorite unit? Style as well as stats...

For me, I'd have to say Highlander Nobles.

Cool 2 hander swords, kilts, and some interesting mail for their upgrades...

Plus they're a great offensive unit...

Who else has one?

Ottoman Infantry. No question. I usually had 50-75% of my armies in MTW with them. In M2, I use 12-16 of them in my armies, but only until I can get Janissaries..

They don't have their axes any more, but they are still tough as nails. And they've also got bows!

Any faction's general and bodygaurd. Think about it, heavy cavalry with 2 hitpoints, constant morale bonus making them near unroutable until general is killed, and they respawn every turn allowing to not retrain them ever

SWISS GUARD RULZ.

I like all them, even the peasants. It's just too much fun when your attacking a city with 2000 peasants.

But if I have to pick a favorite, I'd say the siege weapons. Throwing Dead Cows with the Trebuchet, or dropping large cannon balls on huge armies to watch them fly, or firing many fast rockets on a charging army, or shooting flame arrows with the ballista from a 90° angle!

I would say...Tercio Pikemen, they kill everything.

Amulgahvars - because i think they are good on walls, and because they can stay behind ur heavy infantry/spear troops and lob javelins into the enemy, and because they can fight well too.

I just find it fun to use them when i can

Thats a tough one to answer. I do know which unit I probably use/buy more often than anything else. Catapult. That sounds funny I know but I use them more often than anything else. Soon as I get them I use them in every army until Culverins come into play and alot of times I use them even after cannons are availble.

I recently played a Papal campaign and I really like the Swiss Guard units. On the archery side of it I'd say Pavise Crossbow men. Cavalry? Hmmmm... Thats a toughie. Not sure which I prefer. I need to think about that.
