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.

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
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.
@alex2005z16 күн бұрын
Spear cav in bannelord usually groups to close toghether and gets in eachothers way when you tell them to charge, resulting in no spear hits in a charge (and then the cav that gets staggered gets killed as normal). If you see a single cav unit charging it usually hits its spear, its only when its a big group that they are useless

Fighting Khuzaits while outnumbered is a tough game, dealing against 300+ Horse archers are atrocious.

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.

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.
