"What are you doing steppe brother?!"

I always thought they had the coolest looking armor. For some reason it just pleases me the way the troops look in formation.

When I play the Khuzaits, I just run as many khans guards as possible. In one of my late game runs, I can hold 404 troops in my party and there isn't really much that stops 400 khans guards, even armies of 1500 don't last. EDIT: I hate fighting the Stugians because the narrows maps couple with fantastic heavy infantry which ruin my khans guards and any khuzait army unfortunate enough to head north.

The amount of click bait on KZfaq is unbelievable I've always enjoyed your videos straight to the point and not dragging off topic, discovered your channel few years ago when I was heavily into Kingdom Come Deliverance now I'm here for all your updated banner lord videos. Keep up the great work man!

Their biggest weakness.... They're always across the map when I need more of them sweet sweet Nobel sons.

Excellent video. Loves these strengths/weaknesses guides. Keep them coming. Do Battania next.

Can’t wait to try to lure out a garrison and take the city after! Great video!

Love the Khuzaits. They are either my favorite or second favorite faction to play as. Only problem is, they are a little OP.

I find it kind of funny when people complain that mounted archers are op... yeah, that's kind of how Genghis Khan conquered most of the world.

That tip about using smaller armies to trick them into sallie battles, is gold. Ty

12:12 Ok... NOW I understand what I was doing wrong while running simulations. My prefered field tactics are usually very infantry based. Even taking into account that a good bulk of a Khuzait army will be cavalry. I was still doing it wrong. I was focusing on the wrong troops the entire time. I need to rerun the simulations and jump back into the campain.

Trade is also a big bonus as u can get iron, horse and livestock cheap with good places to sell too and good trade to bring back. Plus the early potential of horses helps with map speed

I play as "Eastern Empire", my first campaign target is khuzait. After I incorporate those khans guard to my Rooster army. I wnet to north attacking styrgia which is stupid judgement, my Army were lost againsts Sturgia heavy Infantry, and those tree map before Tyel is Hellish swamp it reduce ur cavalry movemebt and Tree stopping most arrow... I choose to peace and change my campaign to South against Aserai, who doenst like their solid Mameluke... Its bloody win, and only get Husn Qulch and nearbu castle... Stopping there to access those mameluke palace guards to fight the North, and somehow Aserai can declarr war 4 times and everytime they loss they loss castle and money. With those mameluke palace i declare war again to sturgia.. Mameluke is broken it destroy Sturgian heavy omfantry... Currently i control almost eastern part of Calradia, preparing war against Northe empire and south empire. Woth my rooster, heavy sturgian axeman/spearman, Mameluke as shock troop, khan guard as Skirmisher, cataphract as Trump cards

Great guide. Love the content.

Khan's Guard, Sturgian Veteran Spearman/Axeman, Battanian Fian Champion, Vlandian Bannerman.

I think there is something wrong with cavalry at the moment. I was heavily outflanked due to a stupid mistake where I employed my defensive spear line on the wrong side and their cavalry just charged into my Fians unopposed, not a single loss. The Fians took a lot of the cavalry with two handers and eventually their cavalry ended up on the side where I did have my spears which meant the end. There seems to be a problem with couched lances, don´t think the AI is couching properly at all in the current patch and they fail to correct their approach when charging. The Khans can just swing wildly with their glaives and get their kills, the glaive benefits from speed but unlike the spear you can still kill with a glaive just fine on your horse without the help of speed. I always fear Khans because of the unpredictable reach and ability to kill me with a single wild swing, spear type polearms are somewhat far more predictable. On my horse I also fear two handers a lot more than spears, if I fail my charge and single swing can kill me ... while the spear (on foot) may stop my horse in its tracks I usually dont take a lot of damage and can just ride away. Some spears are also too long failing to connect with the horses at all. So, it´s cavalry and spear related problems.

Ive got about 1100 hours in bannerlords so far. my first campaign was Khuzait. it was literally way too easy, so I dont play them anymore because like you said 100% heavy mounted/khans will decimate anything in the open field to the part where its no longer challenging or fun lol

Not army related, but I find their tournaments to be the easiest too. The AI cavalry usually runs into the wall and has to stop for a while, and if you are given a glaive then it's easy mode

I'll like the video because you say cavalry and not calvary like alot of people on youtube do.

Think I'm gonna do a khuzait playthrough this time... Doing Battania right now, great starting army, only recruit archers and use f2 + f3 for loose formation and f1 to place them within 170m from the enemy. Even if the enemy is 250 melee cavalry against your 100 fian champions, the fians win. EVEN with deadly cavalry mod

I'm currently at war with khuzait and they are a pain with those horse archers.

Everyone just know the khans guard I'd the best unit in the game by miles. It beats every single other unit in their role. The only thing it can't do is tank arrows

Chad Khuzaits

may I ask what do you do to combat khuzait armies in combat? been using mostly an army with a mix of empire-battanian-mercenary but struggle against cavalry. any idea how to fight them properly or tips how to counter their horse archers

I kinda agree with the low number of units the khuzaits have. They could have also added in the flavor some scythian or sarmatian steepe culture. Who had good axes but is lightly or with medium armor.

Currently fighting the khuzaits, hoping to find some info for what might be useful agaisnt them. Thanks

To be fair, about the Heavy Lancers not having any throwing weapons: After all, it doesn't matter, because they don't need them. Like at all. But for a comparison to other shock cavalry, you're absolutely right!

Fighting Khuzaits while outnumbered is a tough game, dealing against 300+ Horse archers are atrocious. Had 590 of my Sturgian/Battanian men vs 690 of Munchung's men, 350 Infantry,130 Archers, 90 calvary, and 20 Horse archers vs 300 Horse Archers, 190 Calvary, 100 infantry and archers. I only managed to pull through only because there was a terrain to bottleneck the initial 100+ Horse archer wave into climbing over or going around a hill terrain allowing my infantry and calvary to bog em down while my archers pelt the advancing and fleeing horse archers. At that first exchange I lost 7 men and killed 50 horse archers.

Then there’s me who runs around with 200 raiders executing every lord who crosses swords with me

Steppe bro I’m stuck in calradia

I love playing as the khuzaits them and the aserai have the best 100% cavalry armoes.

Khans Guard....done.

Good video

My problem with the faction is they work poorly together. All the lord's seem to compete for reputation and don't seem to like backing each other up

imagine combo as your army Khan's Guards + Fian Champions ... just that nothing more... actually the enemy army cannot approach for a melee combat , they loose so many, being under heavy rain of arrows... ...game over !

Why cant these nomads hire mercenaries to be their footmen

You mentioned getting rid of a faction. How does one do that? Anytime I play I will conquer all the cities and towns of a faction but they’ll still have parties that will raid the shit out of villages and muster enough power to take back a town or castle. How do you eliminate them?

I hate going against them. They remind me of the zerg from star craft

Khuzait cavalry armies are too OP. Takes a lot of the challenge out of the game.

Ah yes. the strongest faction.

Game keeps freezing for me since they added the voices happens multiple times an hour.

YEET

The Khan's Guard are the best melee unit on foot; beating any shock, spear, skirmish, or shield and sword/mace/axe unit in the game.

"better on the hole" 9:30

Their strengh is that Nobody gives a fuck about their core territories unless Aserai or the Southern Empire get really pissed off

one steppe to cavalry hehe i get it

you are missing one of the, or prolly the BIGGEST weakness of khuzait, which doesnt impact as much in campain battles, but makes them the WORST in pvp. khuzait has NO options against heavy armored units or high tier units with better armor in general. sure, you will never face the problem (or rather it doesnt matter THAT much) in your campain against the AI, since the majority of your opponents troop will ALWAYS be tier 1-3 units. tier 1-3 units tend to have low armor or in some cases, or completely MISSING some armor pieces. which makes pierce from arrows, spears and swords a REALLY good option, and thats why it seems like the khan guard is one of THE best unit in the game. but in reality, they have little to NO options for bolts, polearms, maces and other "anti armor" options, which makes them a laughable mess in pvp. since you can just run them down with t5/6 heavy armored troops. again, that is something you are not really facing in the campain mode because your opponen will NEVER have a high tier army like you do.

Henry's enemies were these guys and now I'm playing as one so it feels weird....does anyone feel way way too? KCD2 🙏

Well balanced... Wtf they have OP should be nerfed ASAP that khan is nightmare not just a best one

Turkic is the name of steppe cultures
