Good units but take some considerable teching up. By the time they're available you'll be almost in the high period and they'll be becoming outclassed.

Janissary heavy infantry by far. Saved me from mongol hordes in one battle! 9 full armies of bloodthirsty mongols and my firm line of Janissaries

hahahaha! when i faced those heathen they were beaten by a mere Byzantine Infantry! and Varangian Guard!

Don't know why but Armenian Heavy Cavalry were one of my favorite units from MTW1. I also liked Jannisary Infantry, not the heavy. The sword and bow combination made them very useful on the battlefield.

were there Rifles in MTW?
I am proud of the Janissaries, just like the praetorians, they rock, but they have / had too much power

**Seppuku** · February 03, 2007, 04:51 AM

There were arquebuses and muskets, not rifles. Also, I must mention Heavy mamluks (or whatever, it's been a while), they co-operated succesfully with my janissaries when slaying those mongol bastards.

Longbowmen, militia's and a light cavalry unit like hobilars are the perfect combo to blitz France as England in the early part of the game. I remember reading a little strategy guide here on the forum about that particular tactic, and it worked fantastically.

Swabian Swordsmen (added to the grand campaign by VI).

**HeracliustheVictor** · February 05, 2007, 06:59 PM

Kataphraktoi, and most Byzantine units.

**IGdood** · February 11, 2007, 07:52 PM

Sherwood Foresters, I had to enable them on Gnome's unit editor.

Well, in the VI campaign, Bonnachts. You've all been neglecting them! Using a single unit of Bonnachts, I can rout Huscarles

disable skirmish, throw a volley of spears as they charge, then counter charge. combined with Gallowglasses.. amazing. Those two units helped me destroy the Saxons, Mercians, and Vikings.

In Medieval, Templar Knights. They could dismount as chivalric foot knights, and on horseback with thier swords, they were superior to the Hospitaller or Tuetonics, because of thier swords. That small, minor detail, which messes up thier charge, won me many fights against spearmen, and cavalry.

I really liked the Futuwas (I'm not sure if thats the right name) because they could pepper the enemy infantry with arrows and then go hand to hand with them...as for VI I'd have to go with either Highland Clansmen or Jomsvikings, both great infantry units.

They were the best cavalry for their requirements (all you needed was a second tier stables). Whole armies of Gallowglasses and Swabian swordsmen was also always fun...
