Downloaded 2.5 last week. After playing with Swadian, Vaegir and Sarranid forces, decided to choose the Khergit this time on my new game. And I'm really enjoying them! Fighting the Swadians now and doing really well.

Usually during a siege I'm hanging back, taking out most of the archers on the wall, so the rest can get to the top safely.  But damn, those Khergits know how to use their bows. Now most of the archers I target are dead before I release my arrow.

Although I'm still experimenting which units to use in my army, I think I'm converted.....

You're right, the speed makes the weapon swing slow. With unbalanced you can't defend quickly after making an (failed) attack or make a good feint attack. That's why I never use it when I'm not on a horse, and switch to my other weapon. Unbalanced weapons are usually pretty powerful, but they can punish the user as well.

To be fair I do remember I ran into a crowd of Veiger Druzniks or whatever their name is, in 2.4 and thinking since I can usually solo infantry of any tier from deserters I tried it. Boy was I surprised, that 100 or so reach and 50+ blunt damage really hurts.

Yeah, I know those units. I have a bunch of them in my army now.

Never bothered to train them, because I thought they would be crap. But after seeing one of them (from an ally's army) in action against a charging Swadian cavalry unit (took down the horse in one swing, turned around and crushed the rider's head with another...so beautiful, brought tears to my eyes), I had to have them.

This. I thought I could do the ol' ride around and slowly wittle them down. 1 hit and my horse was done, then it took another 1 or 2 hits and I was done. And it's not like they have bad atheletics too, so my archers only got a few shots off before getting mashed.

Happened to me when I fought the Khergit. After fighting the Swadians and the Nords for a long time, and erasing both kingdoms from the map, I began to overestimate myself. During a battle, a Khergit cavalry unit charged at me with his sword ready. I thought "Pff, bring it on!" and charged at him as well. He took me out with 1 swing of his sword. Not sure which unit it was, but I saw the sword in a Khergit marketplace, a 2h Khergit Executioner or something.

That picture is great. Good work!

And again it's grey, cloudy and rainy this year. No wonder they call it the NETHERlands. I guess I'll make camp in the Vaegir lands tomorrow, just to get that good old "White Christmas" feeling.

Vrolijk Kerst and Merry Christmas!!

I'm using a Heavy Crow Hammer. Thought it looked cool, bought it, used it, loved it. It can do massive damage, even against heavy armored units, and can break through blocks. I made a lot of money in the early stages of the game selling high tier prisoners thanks to this weapon. And I also love the bone crushing sound it makes

But it's Unbalanced, so it's slow as hell. You really need to time the strike for good effect. You'll love the moments when you take down the horse AND rider in one blow (if you've played Prophecy of Pendor, think of the Two-handed Ruby Rune Sword effect)
Best used with a fast horse and maybe carry another faster weapon. Right now I also carry a Two Handed Dark Sword for the "charge into the crowd and hack away"-tactic.

I didn't know about the Sarranid mace. I'm going to try that one out as well.
