Imperial Spear Guard are especially good in the purple tier lock. Also, I'm glad to see that the Myrmillones are an effective unit. It means I haven't spent all this time on challenges for nothing. What would you say is the Myrmillones' biggest weakness?

Myrmillones work well with fortes, better than ISG's as they have a more active knocback. You should call them Murmillies or Murmies :D The Palace Guards charge is pretty good for killing cavalry and breaking shields, you can use the charge after you use the brace and shield bash for a bit of burst damage. 9:33 Odins Charge (Berserkers charge abilities) doesnt actually break block but instead simulates the effects without actually reducing block. They do need some kind of nerf without making them useless, you could make it so every 2nd or 3rd frenzy the unit takes 15% or 20% more damage, also maybe increase the damage they take from heroes. 11:07 it is indeed lame to do that, but its a common thing to do and you want to have a person back there for that reason. 11:45 more got hit but they heal in formation so it only looked like 2 took damage. 12:38 just like Dark Souls do not panic roll as that depletes your stamina VERY fast. 13:53 I think that was an axe raider by looking at the enemies units when you pressed tab a few seconds before. 15:40 village watchmen XD. I do enjoy watching your battles KnightStalker, a good change of pace from the battles where I train newbies.
@cade3490

Poleaxe's Halberdiers thrust has some brutal bleed and block break, its fun to hit a unit of Greyhairs with it and see all the red numbers pop up. The Poleaxe is overall pretty lethal right now. You want to roll a bit in unit battles generally to the left right and back. Paying attention to a troublesome units abilities can help alot, for example if you see a unit of palace guards activate the crouch and shield bash you can now sweep in and kill them (depending on what unit you have) or if you see grenades explode and a few seconds later you see a unit of shenji's you can then infer that they dont have their grenade toss up to stop you from reaching them. You can apply that in all situations from Hero vs Hero to large scale battles. And a quick reminder that losing units is part of the game, keeping a unit of Palace guard out of a major team push simply because you know you'll most likely lose some models is bad gameplay.

Myrmis are so fun to play they kinda feel like huskarls but with more defence and obviously only one charge. Another thing I noticed is they should make a better X, V on them which would make them way better in sustained combat. PS.: And why you don't use heal button?
@KnightStalker

Yeah they have no micro potential due to how they scatter widely before taking an action like attack or reform. Because they self heal and I can longsword heal I can heal them reletively quickly and I typically save the heal button for when they are actively being attacked

I think bottom line is pretty much the ONLY way to go with these guys. I remember reading the Unit Guide about them and what stuck with me most is it said "These are not hack-and-slash units, they are defend-to-the-death units". That says their specialty is absorbing punishment, which means the proper way to use them is to make them tanky as all hell.

The charge one makes them do massive damage but the defence one allows them to take extreme punishment - both are fine as a selection. Their toughness comes from their shield, not their armor and are very very tanky - never judge a unit until it is max level. The general idea with palace guards is either charge or walk them in and brace. Wait until the brace is finished, use the shield bash and pull back. Rinse, repeat.

It's not worth it, frankly. Because you cant roll and reroll purple armor schematics dozens of times due to their rarity, you'll never get a set with say, full leadership or any other stat you are hoping to maximise. Added to that the basic guardsmen set bonus is probably better than the imperial knight set bonus.
