Hmmm...
MTW:VI Either plain old Vikings, or Gallowglasses.
RTW: Probably Hastati, but only because I tendd to finish the game before having much time to play around with legionaries.
EB: Classical hoplites, largely because even when I wasnt playing the KH I'd still hire them as mercs all the time. A possible contender would be those early swordsmen the celtic factions get, the fellows with the longsword who actually wear shirts (can't rmember the name.).
MTW2: Hard to say, probably either Italian Militia or dismounted Dvor (the former as a bread and butter unit, and the latter as one of my all around favorite units and main component of my Russian armies).
Broken Crescent: So far, Sudanese Longbowmen, or maybe Saracen militia (crappy but cheap and plentiful). This will likely change as I try more factions.

The best available spearmen. Everything else would change depending on the era, types of cavalry, types of ranged weapons, but I always bring the top tier spearmen with my armies in quantity... and not pikes, halberds, etc.
Even in Broken Crescent where I'm playing a faction without good spearmen, my offensive and defensive armies always have a substantial collection of spearmen.

Re: Your most commonly trained unit
STW: Yari Samurai
MTW: VI: Hard to say because I play a lot of mods now, but in the unmodded version, I'd probably say Szekely, because I loved the Hungarians compared to everyone else, and Szekely are useful troops all game long.
RTW: N/A
M2TW: N/A
It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then, the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell.
