Lets take a closer look...

E-Rank
Each E-rank unit takes x12 per 1 point of Prestige (If You have 100 Prestige, tahn total stack of E-rank units will be 1200).

Guard
Guards are the worst units till You get them to level 7, but this is level 26 City Hall opening a late-game. At that point You might not use E-rank units at all... So Guards are best E-rank unit at 7+ Level, and worst before that due to their Movement Range and their Shield Bash skill wich has pretty high chances to keep their attack not relatated. Nevertheless its a good idea to have 5-25 stacks of them, just for the Load (to get maximum Load at Your territories and get as much as You can while plundering enemy cities). Leadership needed (LS) - 2.

Crossbowmen
These guys will be in your builds for the rest of the game. They are taking less casualities while fighting against Monsters/Lairs and other PvE system. You will want to use them against weaker enemies for the same reason. This is Your basic attacking unit. You will need a lot of them. Not that many as Knights, but still having couple more stacks than needed in your builds - is a good idea. Leadership needed (LS) - 2.

Priestess
These are similar to Crossbowmen, but they will suffer more casualities. Priestess might be very good in situative fights (for instant You are facing hard enemy with physical damage reduction or defensive Archangel). So better to make them, than regret of the lack of magic attack units. Leadership needed (LS) - 2.

Knight
Knights are your deadly weapon. Attacks with them will lead to hard casualities, though. But these guys are insane with the right Science and builds. You can build really good defense builds with these guys too. As long as they die like flies, Your stables won't stop working. Never ever. Leadership needed (LS) - 2. .

D-Rank
Each D-rank unit takes x9 per 1 point of Prestige (If You have 100 Prestige, than total stack of D-rank units will be 900).

Skeleton Warrior
If You are considering to make very aggresive build - make these guys in massive... They can go to the Control builds to Barbarian or Necromancer. Leadership needed (LS) - 2.
