Which Heavy Infantry unit is the "best"

Post by site »

Vote in the poll and explain your choice. I'll do one of these for each unit tag and the top choices will vs each other in a final poll.

(I left mercenaries and outlaws out. They'll be a separate poll)

And this is why you shouldn't use wiki pages for class assignments, kids.

Ashigarus because they're really fast man, you can't hit and run against them with xbows, and in fortress age they're really insane with upgrades!

Sepoy for sure without up. I mean they would rape every other heavy inf cost effectivly and the difference is bigger for other musk type vs cav...
Btw, in long run ashi become strong because of ups, but whithout up they lose to all other musk cost effectively. Order is sepoy>>russian musk > jan=other musk>ashigeru, and I don't know for tomawak, but I think they are bad.
However, it's not very relevant, because for example russian musket do bad vs huss and russian units are all OP, but with a bad eco.

russian musketeers is a joke, on paper they should be good unit cost effectively. I just don't think they're when some bigboy veteran uhlans come around ruskets just dissapear and doesn't deal any damage to anything basically.

I'll never feel the same connection to any one unit as a double carded british musketeer dealin the dirty to some pansy-ass dragoon high on its horse (literally) with a supposed tech advantage but the Zuta "moar stuff" principle is the most absolute of principles all you 5 huss semi ff meta nerds getting wrecked by that very anti-counter, quad-carded, musk/huss composition brings a small tear to my eye.
