Whenever there's an Empire faction in captain mode you can bet at least 3 players are gonna take menavlion infantry. I genuinely can't tell if this polearm is bugged or what - it is tremendously overpowered.
Yes, it's slow but that's not really a drawback unless you're in a duel. They will very easily overwhelm pretty much any other unit with ease.
Their only real weakness is the lack of a shield (thus, archers - not cavalry), but considering the map design in MP this really isn't an issue on except maybe 1 map.
