Shotels beat huskarls in mass battles because of their speed. Their creation time also allows them to rival the Goths' infantry spam, and their speed additionally allows them to raid the Goths, especially since Goths have no stone walls to defend. Shotels are useful against the Goths, that's one of their niches. Another is against Eagle Warriors. They're similar to the swordsman line in terms of what they counter, but fight very differently.
