    Default Biggest let down unit

    Which unit do you think looked really cool but turned out to be a massive let down? For me it was the Norman Knights from the Kingdom of Scilily and the Transavianin Peasents from Hungrary, both units look totaly bad a$$ but the Norman Knights are just like all other Knights, they just look cooler and have a different name and the Transavian Peasents were so weak and took to long to reach.
    A true politition should always be willing to die if he fails his country. For no other group of people can cause so much damage or do so much good.

    England Billmen never fail to disappoint. Mean looking dudes with their pointy sticks dish out as much damage as routing peasants. Grim.

    Arquebusiers: seem cool and not a single negative word in the description,
    but in an actual battle - KRACKABOOOM = WORTHLESS!
    Iīve learned how to use them since then, though, but I still have absolutely no trust for them.

    On a contrary, my biggest surprise unit would be the Halberd militia - such crappy values, and still they often manage to perform quite well where I put them.
    Maybe the Hashashim, too, but I expected nothing but excellence from them anyway.

    Heavy billmen are indeed good against cavalry considering they escape the charge and then take them over in melee but billmen are absolute nonsense.

    Trebuchet.. I'm very fond of medieval siege weaponry and was really looking forward to using this machine. But it turned out to be a very poorly executed unit. At the very least it should have been far more accurate but very slow to change in azimuth. So it would become useless in the field but far more effective in siege. Then it should also be as good as stationary in battle, apart from being able to aim by changing azimuth(slow) and elevation(fast). I've built my own treb and once I have it aimed I can hit the same spot every time, as long as I'm using ammo of comparable shape and weight.

    Most of the HRE's late units. Gothic Knights, Forlorn Hope, Zweihanders, etc. I know you're supposed to use them as shock troops but dang, with all that armor you'd think they'd be versatile enough to hold a line!

    Huh? Dismounted Norman knights are better than dismounted feudal knights as far as I know. Anyway, all 2h axe units are let downs in my book.

    The Pope is my biggest let down unit. How on earth does he loose? Ok, ok, I did have just the Pope against a full stack of Frenchies, but come on, he's the POPE!!

    Often the pope is also "secretly a woman"....maybe your pontiff was a bit light on in the wood department.

    I'd agree with bill units. I found out that they're awesome against cavalry but that's all they're good for, plus their bills look a bit too small for them. Other than that they're the bee's knees

    English billmen and heavy billmen are the greatest dissapointment for me.

    Forlorn Hope after they got nerfed in one of the vanilla patches, since I was expecting something similar but was sourly disappointed. Thankfully they got their badassery back in the Retrofit and KGC Mods.
