While this is mostly coming from my personal experience rather than a quantitative research of any sort, I've always found the Aserai noble line quite underwhelming for a noble option. Despite the Faris line being designed to fill a unique role as a mounted skirmisher more than a shock cavalry, I feel that their low number of throwing weapons (only 5) and relatively low throwing skill at the highest rank (it's 140, so not really that low, but lower than the ~200 we usually expect from a tier 6 unit, also they have 170 riding and one handed as well) makes the unit unable to perform as well as I would like as a mounted skirmisher. As a result, after throwing their measly 5 jereeds (admittedly great throwing weapons), they need to compete with other Noble melee cavalry as a shock cavalry, where in my experience they get outperformed by the others. One additional thing to note, the T5 Aserai Veteran Faris has 20 less throwing proficiency (80) than its predecessor, the T4 Aserai Faris, which has a throwing proficiency of 100. I hope this gets fixed at some point.
Do you think the same? Do you also find the Aserai noble line underwhelming when compared to the other noble troops? If most people do, then I suggest to have either their polearm or sword replaced (I prefer polearm because otherwise they would become terrible on foot, and they could still use their jereeds as a polearm if they wanted to) with an additional stack of jereeds, as well as change the proficiency distribution to prioritise skills in throwing, so that they can perform better as a mounted skirmisher.
