beating the game...

I rarely build any of the VI units aside from Huscarles and Horsemen. Carls aren't as good as FMAAs and can't be maintained once High comes around. Landsmenn are a little better than Vikings, but not by much and again you essentially lose them in High and can't build them outside Scandinavia anyway.

I have a weird psychological hangup with Huscarles. I know they are good, but I also know that I lose them in High so I will hoard them. I'll pump them out from Sweden with upgrades, but then I tend to use them sparingly. Can't waste a single one, might need them later! They are my precioussss.

Huscarles should probably be a 2 turn build.

I am exactly the same with Huscarles.
They are so deadly and can be dominant right up till the end, the problem is building enough of them.
I normally pump them out of as quick as possible but then find I don't rush them into battle, I don't use them in castle assaults and I move them out of provinces were I am siegeing...Basically not doing all the things they are best at...Drives me crazy

I agree probably should be a build time of 2 years.
If Varangian guard are then Huscarles certainly should be as well.

Then I'm afraid Huscarles are not in your version of the game. I suggest you pick up the VI expansion as it will open up many new possibilities for the vanilla game itself and with respect to the various mods available such as SW, XL, BKB etc.

-Edit: If you're going to continue using MTW V1.x then ensure you install the V1.1 patch. The version number appears in the top right hand corner of the main menu screen.
