Long bowmen were defiantly the best for hit and run though. Although tutonic knights were very powerful they were no were near as over powered as the hand cannoniers guys. Sorry i forget the real name. Those were deadly if you charged in a base with 50 of them its an automatic win no doubt.


Just found it the hand cannoneers were Janissarys from the turks. If you wanted and over powered killing machine go with the Persians and there war elephants.
lol, the war elephants are like carriers from starcraft. sure, they're incredibly powerful, but 6 scourge destroy them. likewise, a group of 4 elephants could be destroyed by as little as 6 pikemen/halberdiers

also the axemen were destroyed by byzantine elite
