The Strongest Units for Each Faction - Medieval 2 Total War

There may be some better units in those factions' pools, but these are the most unique and famous units of them in Medieval 2 Total War.
Thanks for watching, see you in the next one...

Rather The Most Iconic units of every faction

Noble Pikemen trying not to drop their pikes: IMPOSSIBLE🥵

[Bandedcookie]

The Geneose crossbowman haunt my dreams. Idk why but anytime i am on the same continent with Milan, i end up facing near literal spam of them.

[OrderoftheSilverCross-irip]

Venice should have had The Venitian Heavy Infantry as their best unit.

[Sepherina]

Spear milltia best unit. Every campaign and desperate battle is won or lost thanks to those conscripted giga chads.

HRE Gothic Knights are just a meme. They look good but they don’t work as intended since the launch of the game. If you want infantry you go with Imperial Knights, but the strongest unit in the roster (and the strongest cav in the game) is the Teutonic Knight (also super iconic and famous).

For Venece you can’t take a generic crossbow, they have two of the better units in the game by far. One is the Stradiots and the other is the Heavy infantry, you play that faction only to get those two.

All the rest is fine, you can argue a few, but it’s good enough. 👍

That Rocket Launcher and Elephant still give me PTSD to this day

I was bored once so I set up a 'No Rules - Unlimited Money' multiplayer match in Medieval 2. My opponent picked a Western faction and showed up with a balanced army. Meanwhile I brought just a spam of one unit... Elephant Artillery!

I absolutely destroyed the poor soul before he could even charge.

Here's my take:

HRE = Reiters
Venice = Stradiots
Portugal = Conquistadores
France = Scots Guard

The rest is passable.

[VikingrJesus]

Seeing Danish Axemen and Varangian Guard vs each other would be very interested, as they were historically both Vikings.

[Cyricist]

HRE - Reiter, there wasn't anything including elephants that I couldn't stomp with them.
Denmark - Norse War Cleric, one of the best melee cavs in the game.

[mcsmash]

ah yes 2h shock infantry i always use them as somewhat disposable assault troops that are the first to rush the wall breach or assault the enemy lines with ligher swordsmen following behind them to exploit the bloody gap that the shock infantry left behind, ofc i could just flank the enemy with shock infantry but that just makes battles more trivial than they ought to be i preffer a good old slugging match with mountains of corpses on both sides

[TheErickDH]

Would definitely argue that it is Norse War Clerics for Denmark, think they are hands down the best non-missile cav in the game tbh

im 41 years old and i just started playing this game on mobile.
at the 2nd day i found out im playing england all wrong!

[eddiewhistler]

1. I liked the video, good job

2. IDK about Venice's best unit being Pavise Crossbows - that's a generic unit. I'd say it's Venetian Heavy Infantry

[mrtakium]

I'm really p e s t how pikemen drop there pike and use sword, that makes them truly f v k up at the battle.

[mausolus]

Lol, the sound of crossbow's loading mechanism Geneose Crossbowmen made me think Geneose Crossbowmen were shaking in their boot so hard for the moment xD

[pavelthefabulous]

The Byzantines' best unit is Vardariotai. It's on par with the best Mongolian horse archers, and it's available on turn 1 from some of the castles. The Byzantine Guard Archers are also a very solid infantry unit for castle defense.

The Byzantine sword militia is also good just for being relatively cheap and reliable.

[MiketheTzar]

The disrespect of the Venetian Heavy Infantry and Venetian Arches is brutal. Although the correct answer for single player is objectively Stradiots. ALL the flank
