Hittite Heavy Axemen

From Warbirth Wiki

Unlike other axe units at the beginning of the game, Hittite Heavy Axemen are in essence a melding of both common Axe infantry with the stats of the Heavy Axemen. These units don't have the splash damage attack associated with most Heavy Axemen, but still come out into the game far more easily, thus providing the Hittites with cheap anti-elite and early siege advantages early on in the game. They are still fairly slow, however, encased in their heavy armour — so screening them with cheaper light infantry is always a must.
