It seems like people use Guards over Knights for attacking?? Are you all serious?? Knights are much better for attacking.
I personally would never use the guardians, except for long distance defense. When comparing the guardians to the other troops on a attack per pop basis, Guardians lose in every category. Even if you try and say that Guards have a balanced defense, they take 4 pop. You could train 2 lancers and 2 sentries, and both infantry and mounted defense would be higher then guards..
The only effective benefit of a guardian is the speed, which helps if you need quick defense. Everything else, there are more effective troops to train.
