Have Game? Favorite Unit?

[Blood Claw Warrior]

Hey guys,

For those of you that have the game, what is your favorite unit and why? Also, if you could post of picture of the unit that would be awesome, if not that's ok too.

[Wurfspiess]

Crossbowman of all kind
the sound they make when firing is amazing.
oh i forgot....CANNONS the screen shaked when they where shooting my man(i almost held my keybord in front of me)

[Blade]

For me its dismounted knights,The fact that there heavy infantry and are shiny knights are great,There also easily attainable for most factions.

[guyyug]

love the longbowmen, the amount of enemies they kill every battle for me is immense, all i ussaully end up doing is a cavalry charge to break the enemy force, infantry just sits there mainly unless i need them on the flanks

[Shaun]

Elephants with the cannons on their backs.

[Xennik]

Musketeers if gunpowder wouldn´t be broken.

[GVP]

Venetian infantry and Venetian archers. They look cool and allways slaughter other heavy infantry.

[Soulghast]

Don't have the game but I like the Gendarmes.

[Vihuri]

I have a love-hate relationship with Desert cavalry.

[Soulghast]

What do you mean love-hate?

[Taelok]

Probably that he loves using them but hates fighting them

Personally, I have a love for the Afghan infantry. Mercenary unit - very powerful and look great.

[Hullebullen]

Any crossbowmen unit. Both the sound from shooting them as well as the high-pitched whistle the bolts make on the receiving end is simply awesome...

[lecnac]

Hospitallier Knights. Or any heavy Knights hehe.

If I get them to charge properly they perform magic on the battlefield.

[Ludicus]

Hospitallier Knights. Or any heavy Knights hehe

Agreed.
Another favourite unit :New world gold mines (Joking)

[wipeout140]

Cannons just different compared to sword and arrows. Reason its damage

[God-Emperor of Mankind]

Right now, norse axemen.
Big axes, heavily armored and fierce fighters.
All the things you need.

Yeah they are awesome, but too bad the norse swordsmen, which are cheaper, are ten times as good as them. Units with large weapons perform very bad since it takes time to swing their weapons and they always get interrupted while they are doing so.

Just thought I would bump this thread since many more have the game now. Looking forward to what you all say.

[Trajan]

Playing as the French, my favorite infantry unit right now would have to be the Dismounted Feudal Knights. I think the French have another kind of dismounted Knights that are better but I haven't been able to recruit them yet. My favorite cavalry unit so far is the Knight Templar. My favorite artillery unit is the culverin. I just love using them in sieges.

[Ecthelion]

Reiters without a doubt.

They can rip apart infantry faster than any horse archer unit, FROM THE FRONTSIDE lol. Also they can ride down any non-fast moving horse archer unit, and of course they will destroy any melee cavalry.

Anything that is fast enough to catch them will lose to them in melee since they have a spear and not a sword as a melee weapon!
