My longest RTW campaign was with Egypt/Scythia, so it might have been Desert Cavalry/Horse Archers.
Gallowglasses on MTW. Or um, the spearmen at the start, I can't remember the name.
STW: Yari Samurai

M2TW : Spearmen
RTW: Hastati
Good question indeed...
I almost only play MTW... I would say it depend on the factions...
Vikings in VI: axes, axes, axes (huscarles, landsmen, joms..)
Scots, Picts, Welsh, Irish: High attack, low defense (gallowglasses, clansmen, warriors)
Mercs, saxons, Northumbria: balanced but seeks the huscarles.
Oter than VI:
east troops: Steppe heavy cav/ Szekely / Boyards
Otherwise I love having archers with a potential melee capacity and/or speed: futtuwa, trebizond archers, bulgarian bandits... and I tend to "over produce" them
STW - Geisha's![]()
STW:MI - never played the campaign more than a couple of turns
MTW - Urban Militia (never got far into campaigns, too impatient at the time)
MTW:VI - Highland Clansmen
RTW - Principes, Chosen Swordsmen
RTW:BI - barely played it
M2TW - Italian Spear Militia (used them tons as both Venice and Sicily)
M2TW:K - still to get

At the end of the day politics is just trash compared to the Gospel.
As the Poles, you can't go wrong with... Spears!(the most current of course)
As the Turks , I can't go wrong with HAs/ Turcoman Horse.
haven't played any other TW other than vanilla MTW(which I am modding currently)
The following statement is true. The previous statement is false.
