Get a dozen men-at-arms or knights and you can just sit back and watch while they win. And it isn't just in battles in the field, either. They're fantastic in sieges, both ways, as well.
I like the Rhodoks because they are a damned challenge. Of all the factions I'd have to say they're the hardest to use, so it makes victory all the more refreshing. Plus the whole democratic-peasant thing appeals to my inner romanticist.
