Here I'm assuming you're talking about mercenaries to be made out of saloon/monastery.
Jaegars. Most cost effective mercenary imo.
Also, swiss pikes are just very very good. Mongo won vs Sam in china vs french MU using jaegers spam and swiss pikes.
If it has to be a mercenary card, probably black riders/mamelukes/Highlanders are best. Highlanders are game winning card for Spain.

Ignoring this fact, Swiss pikes and Jaegers imo the the best. Swiss pikes more cost effective than black riders. Black riders are best to ship, not to make. Swiss and Jaegers are best to make and best to ship.
My logic about swiss pikemen being stronger than black riders in terms of cost effectiveness maybe wrong. But I''ve saw swiss pikeman often game changing when used against myself.

Swiss pikemen - 3 pikemen for cost of 2.
Little bombards - they counter all units and have 4 sec reload which is op for cannons.
Mamelukes - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Z9tclncJNc
Elmeti - they live where Garja and Marco1698 live, they can't be bad.

Mamelouk is the mercenary with the most impact and probably most usefull if otto aren't ban from tournament.

I love black riders but mams are the most useful. But it's not correct to say they are on every situation. Depends from situation, for example sometimes you need black riders sometimes Swiss pikeman sometimes ronin ecc. Almost of the cases ye mams better

I only play treaty, so mercenaries are usually too weak (compared to imperial) units to be of much use. However, there are exceptions.
If a civilization doesn't have a unit and the mercenaries can provide it, they are sometimes worth considering. For instance, Fusiliers, being very fast musketeers, are really good to include in a German push as with Germany you don't get musketeers. Occasionally I will make a few Elmeti with Ports if faced, say, with massed Brit longbows because Port Hussars are on the weak side. I once made ten Ronin as Otts playing versus France and when I wiped out a Gendarme spam my opponent didn't make another one all game.
For the most part, mercs take up too much pop space. However, with Spain their amazing unctioned attack makes up for it. Highlanders and Hackapels, especially, have enormous attack with Spain.

There is no single mercenary that is worth using in treaty. They are bad in age 4 already except for the best, let alone in age.metis wrote:I only play treaty, so mercenaries are usually too weak (compared to imperial) units to be of much use. However, there are exceptions.

Mams are the best, otherwise jaegers are good and black rider mostly for germans (only goon available). Swiss pikes are handy to raid a tc and so but in fight i fail to see why they would be good, because pike-type units suck in age 3 vs skirm goon cav compositions. They also suck vs musks

This thread is about Mercs, not Gods.
Re: Best/Most Useful Mercenaries?
This is my point exactly, mercs are to cover a civilization's weakness.Metis wrote:If a civilization doesn't have a unit and the mercenaries can provide it, they are sometimes worth considering.
For example, as main Dutch (It usually works well with Dutch because you have a constant coin production from banks), I usually prefer to employ mercs like Stradiots, Mamelukes, Black Riders, Elmeti, Highlanders and Fusiliers.
In this way, I can complement my regular army and strenghten it a lot.
Re: Best / Most Useful Mercenaries?
fusiliers are the one i prefer so far, good against everything and if you up their speed they go as fast as cav lol
