What is your favorite unit?

[Skypiercers]

Mine would be the Nord huscarl.  With 50 of them, I can easily storm castles with few if any losses.

 

[Krizby]

Swadian Knight. 

 

[annallia]

Sea Raiders!

 

[zepprith]

Mine is the Rhodok Sharpshooters they make sieges and battles quite easy. Second would be swadian knights.

 

[MrExpendable]

Huskarls and any kind of crossbowmen.

Also been editing the troop trees a bit, so Huskarls wear gloves and don't use twohanded axes anymore. I wanted them to be more uniform, like the many other elite units I've been editing.

 

[Captured Joe]

Swadian Sergeants.

Not the best infantry around, but they look really cool (even better in vanilla IMO), and their Morningstars are good.

 

[Baguette Eater]

Swadian Knights.

 

[malacka07]

Mameluks ftw

 

[user1324865215]

Rhodok Sargents. Not the most powerful, but IRL, a wall of them would be f*ckin scary.

 

[Baguette Eater]

And a wall of Swadians Knight wouldn't?

 

[brognar]

Rhodok tribesman

 

[MrExpendable]

Rhodok tribesman

Nothing like spamming with them, aye?

 

[English_Knight]

Swadian knights...obviously

 

[Ivan Khan]

I say all of the elite units.

I have defended a castle with 20 Rhodick sharpshooters and slaughtered the enemy with none even getting to the top of the ladder.

Swad Knights are peerless in open battles.

Mamlukes are great in the open too and make excellent infantry for assaults or seige defense.

Nord Husculars rule massed mele and a few at the head of a ladder will win the day.

Khergits are cheap. easy to train, hell-a-fast, and unique. They are perfect to fill out an all cavalry army. Lancers are the best 2nd class uint in the games. Vet Horse archers are likely the best bow unit in the game, though a glitch in their code means you need to rename them from cavalry and micro manage (if not they mele too much).

And the manhunter line is great. Give you prisioners to spare. And, when trained to Slaver Chef they are as good as Swad Knights or Mamlukes. There blunt weapons devestate other heavily armoured uints.

Only ones I do not like are are Vaegirs and mercenaries. Sword Sisters are a mix -- they are cheap and strong, but sometimes do not have helmets and x-bows which makes them too weak.

Personally now I have several cities I garrison with Rhodick Sharpshooters and Nord Husculars/Veterans and have an all cavalry field army of Swad Knights, Mamlukes, Slaver Chefs, Lancers, and Vet Horse Archers.

Swadian Knights are the best unit in the game by far.  They are obviously the best cavalry unit in the game.  My army consists solely of Swadian Knights and I routinely decimate armies that outnumber me 3 or 4 to 1.  They are also the second best infantry unit in the game, just behind Huscarls.  You don't need any other units to win.  Just fill your army up with about 100 Swadian Knights and you can steamroll any enemy.  In sieges, they are so heavily armored that they can soak up massive amounts of arrow or crossbow fire with no or negligible damage done.  Once they reach the walls, they will destroy anything the AI can throw at them.  I've only ever seen 10 Huscarls in an enemy army at one time, so they wont be a problem.

Mamalukes are better. They are better than swadian knights in sieges and can sometimes have blunt weapons.

 

[Coraline]

Rhodok Sharpshooters, really nothing can truely compare to their effectiveness in just about any battle.  Even though they're crossbowmen they double quite well as fighting infantry when the time calls using their massive shields and very short range weapons.  I've watched entire walls of cavalry break vs them.  xD

What he said, exactly that. Although I do still use Huscarls for sieges.

Mamalukes are better. They are better than swadian knights in sieges and can sometimes have blunt weapons.

They more than frequently spawn on un-armoured horses. Nty.

Because of that, they seem to get a tiny bit more stat boost compared to the knights.
