With sufficient resources a player can easily create many of these units to overwhelm an enemy faster than it normally would have taken for, say, espadachines to be created by a Burgundian player. Doppelsöldner are thus the ultimate medium infantry unit which can be used in a variety of roles — either as support units if your lines of pikemen falter, or as an assault unit. Ideally, their strong anti-mercenary attack means that they can be used to crush mercenary spam by factions such as the Moors, Scotland or Burgundy which are heavily dependent on mercenaries to bolster their armies in the Imperial Era.
