Arabian swordsman/Stronghold Crusader 2

Arabian swordsmen are strong combatants and the backbone of any army. They are expensive mercenaries, but provide durability and required damage for the army. With excellent resistance to projectiles and melee strikes alike, the Arabian swordsman is suitable in formations and even in small groups. 
Arabian swordsmen are great contenders to any melee unit, even the templar knight. While their melee capabilities are outstanding, they are prone to be struck down by the contact damage of charging units (such as macemen or cavalry). 
Arabian swordsmen require a free peasant from the campfire with a sum of 60 gold to recruit. 
Arabian Swordsman is the Crusader counterpart. He moves with the same sluggish speed, but he's slightly less durable and weaker than a normal Swordsman. It's compensated with lower recruitment costs - it requires slightly more gold, but you don't need a Sword and an Armor to hire one.
Arabian Swordsmen are the backbone of the Arabian army - they are practically the most durable unit from that side. The only flaw is the mentioned movement speed and slightly lower stats than a 'normal' Swordsman, which makes them quite vulnerable to enemy Crossbowmen, as well as Tower Ballistae.

* Arabian swordsmen carry a round shield that is purely cosmetic and does not strengthen their protection against attacks.
