Peasents are the most weakest unit in all of the game in Defense and Attack speed is the only thing that is good for them they take no money you dont have too buy them you can make them anytime as long as you have people and happiness but they are very poor fighters
Pikemen's Defense is second best too the knights but their attack is just below Swordsmen the disadvantage too these units are their speed they are the slowest units in the game.
Swordsmen speed is fair their attack is 3rd best and their armor is pretty good the only weakness to this unit is a crossbow
macemen are my favorite unit their speed is 2nd best too the knight their attack is second best too the knight but their defense is incredibly low i have heard rumors that their armor is worse than the peasents armor i beleive this is true they are good for getting archers around the back
archers are my second favorite their speed is fair but the peasents are just 1 notch faster than archers so dont plan too run cuz they will catch up anyway archers are good for pretty much everything they pluck off Macemen,Peasents,Other Archers ,And even crossbowmen but everyone elce takes some doing but archers can even kill swords men and pikes easily if they are in great enough numbers. but their defense is pretty low if they arent in great enough numbers they can be easily plucked off (most important unit in game!)
Crossbowmen are great in attack they pluck off armored units easily if in great enough numbers but they have quite a few disadvantages Comparing crossbowmen too archers they are very poor Crossbowmen are at least 2 notches slower than archers it takes longer for them too load another arrow and they have half the range archers do except Crossbowmen have 1 notch better armor than archers and their attack is double as powerfull than the archers i dont prefer these guys they arent very good unless they are in castles (they pluck off seige units easily)
Knights are the best in the game Their speed is best in the game Their defense is best in the game Their attack is best in the game their only weakness is too Crossbows. yes crossbows the ones i didnt prefer in the paragraph above you may want these
