    Default Re: Favorite Units?

    Peasants - The worst unit in the game but one of the most useful! Almost everyone uses to hold down provinces, or uses the for fodder. I use them as the Turks - which leads me to my second favorite - although the tactic may be seen as cruel. I generally have a line of JHI with Siphai(sp?) and peasants. I send the peasants foward to engange the enemy, while I spread my Siphai out. When the peasnats get close enough, I rout them. The computer charges foward blindly after my peasants, ignoring the fact they are become surrounded in a inverted defensive hexagon. Of course, they run right into my JHI and begin engaging them, while my Siphai nail them with arrows, eventually leading the charge into the rear.

    Siphai (or Boyar) - Hands down in my opinion. A very useful compination of a ranged attack and decent melee.

    Gallowglasses - Infantry spam thats better in some cases the CMAA. Need I say more?

    Woodsmen - Better then peasants, armor piercing, and have a better stomach then UM.

    Pikemen - Sorry can't help myself. I just cant get over these guys.

    Gothic Units - Ever fight a unit that just refuses to die? Only Jedis, Siths, Varangians and Gothic Units.

    Mamluk Cavalry - My personal Catholic Can-Openers

    EDIT: Whoops! Spelled Peasants "Peasnats"
