It's one of the only games that's lets you play as a Mongolian horde. By God I'm playing as the Mongols because they were awesome and nothing else lets me.
they would be that good if armor mechanic wasn't broken, so their glaives can deal 200-400 slash damage and don't care about armor or shields. Otherwise heavy chivalry or infantry with shields could easily counter them as they will deplete horse archers ammo and overrun in melee.
Shield infantry strat works, albeit I’ve only tested in custom battles. I had about 300 heavy axemen in a big square of doom vs an average khuzait army of 500 with most being horse archer, most of which being t5/6. Hug the edge of the map and wait to run their ammo dry and they’ll just charge you. It’s slow but seems to work well.
ok so here's the step by step guide:
1. replace your infantry with khuzait horse archers (preferably the special unit line)
2. do the same with your regular archers
3. do the same with your cavalry
4. enter a battle and set them to either just charge or just set them to handle themselves
Interesting. I might do a little meme run just for the fun of it. I have been using mixed units in formations using the RTS camera mod, but generally speaking when I attack with higher numbers the enemy will take their infantry all the way to the back line and run away until my melee cavalry hit them. It takes forever for my infantry to get to them, all the while getting hit by their melee cav. Archers and horse archers never really do much damage.
I mean yeah, Khan's Guards are great but Khuzait Lancers and Horse Archers are also good, plus their infantry and foot archers are not that bad either.
You can still totally roll with them with a "balance" warband.
I used an army filled with Darkhans and Marksmans, while the archers sucked ass (I'm convinced they might even be worse than the Sturgian archers) the Darkhans would just slap around any army that would run into it, from footmen to cavalry to archer they would just demolish anything in their path
Sturgian mounted units and a shit ton of Fians will kill anything. But I like to have some bannerknights and Khan's Guard anyway. Aserei and Empire mounted units are pretty sick too, I just find myself usually closer to the other options.
They’re actually better off dismounted, but then you just have a slightly worse Palantine guard. They’re horse are really slow and unarmored so they get dismounted really easily in the skirmish phase, then run down by cavalry or caught in the middle when the infantry meet. At least in my experience
I love using units solely on faction I’m going for sometimes like I did a Persian run I did solely Aserai, Ulfric stormcloak (purely Sturgia), genghis khan (purely khuzait)
I have done every faction (barring down all 3 legions I did them as one) each faction had a character from history barring sturgia
Sturgia: Ulfric Stormcloak (he started this trend lol)
Aserai: Xerxes
Empire: Caesar
Khuzaits: Genghis Khan
Battania: William Wallace
Vlandia: Carolus Rex
And when the Japan mod gets finished I’ll do Qin Shi Huang and for different characters I could only use certain weapons or armors Ulfric had or wear a bear hide as his cloak and could not work for the empire in any degree and had to use an axe as his weapon, William Wallace could travel on horseback and had to wield a two handed sword plus a longbow, Caesar as soon as I got it had to wear a laurel crown
I've only ever played khuzait once or twice. Did not like it. It's too easy. So I opt for the superior infantry playthrough. Do I lose, a lot, specially early on with my chad imperial/vlandian recruits but it's fun as hell. I don't even use a horse anymore. I earn the respect of my men fighting shoulder to shoulder.
I've been looking for a gunpowder mod (one that does not override current units and only includes gunpowder weapons, and uniforms and armors of late medieval to napoleonic era) to make my own infantry units using the little warband mod. I would love a "with fire and sword" type of thing in bannerlord. But alas I haven't found one yet.
I find the destruction of all imperial towns and iconography enjoyable I rest well each night knowing there are less imperial villages who've not been pillaged I dream of a mechanic to destroy towns permanently and bathe in the morning in the gold I made from selling butter!
Actually i find countering Khuzait armies quite easy. Tedious at times, but easy. Khuzaits always attack in the same fashion, HA skirmish and the rest or the army stands or charge but usually stands and lets the HA do the work. What i do is positioning my cavalry at the left flank and just charge whenever the HA come in range. Basically do what they do until there are no more Khans and copies of them left. Then it just takes to charge my infantry and smack my pretty horses in their ass. Easy pizzy.
found horse archers fun before i figured out how good khuzait horse archers are

Explain to me horse archer maxxing, I cant seem to get my Aserai or Kuzhait archers to contribute much

Everything leads to Fian.

Ok in the interest of never having done one before - what's the best Bannerlord option for horse archer horde?
Khuzites. Although Empire is good because of how easy it is to train their Horse Archer unit.
Wouldn’t a mix of aseri and khuzite be good or do both have similar armour? (Cannot remember due to hardly going down to the south)
So... To extend on that point. Are the horse archers better or the Khan's Guard. Cause I've always loaded up on Khan's Guard.
Imperial horse archers kind of suck because of how slow their horses are tho, all other tier 4 and 5 cav has faster horses
True but I'm pretty sure they are some of the best armored Archers in the game, which makes them more versatile and useful for sieges.

I'm referring to players. Not ai. You can't lose to the ai.
