Almohad Urban Militia are really swordsmen calling themselves militia.  They have defense and armor compared to Feudal Men at Arms, this makes them one of the best swordsmen of the early era.  In later ages, however, they will be hard pressed against more powerful units.  This unit do not make Militia Sergeants obsolete, they lack an armor piercing attack.

Crossbows are the new missile units of the High Era.  They work much differently than bow-armed archers.  Crossbows take longer to load, but each shot is much more powerful.  The bolt can penetrait armor much better than an arrow can, so units which are almost invulnerable to arrows can fall to crossbows.  Crossbows also need a much flater projectory, they have trouble shooting over the heads of friendly forces.  In melee they are still weak but much better than vanilla archers, so they can hold their own to some extent.  Crossbows are also cheaper in training costs and upkeep and thus make good garrison troops.

Berber Camels are unique to the Almohads. They can serve both like horse archers, and as cavalry killers.  While Berber camels are slower than all other missle cavalry, they have the fact that they ride camels gives them a big advantage against light cavalry, the traditional nemesis of mounted archers.  This makes them very difficult to counter, though they are still too weak to dominate the battlefield.

Armored spearmen are a superior spearman for eastern european factions.  They are similar to saracin infantry and chivalric Sergeants except they have one less point in defense.  Polish, swiss, and hungarian factions can build both feudal sergeants and armored spearmen with the same buildings.  Feudal Sergeants have better moral and attack, while Armored spearmen have much better defense and armor.
