Like Windy said right now there are no other high tier troop in the other factions with that type of power. Which does make some sense seeing as knights were highly trained nobles meant to be able to survive. Better training and armor make a huge difference. Typically a knight was beaten by dehorsing them using long spears or even just huge numbers of soldiers to eliminate their mobility. And then they were defeated by sheer numbers, brute strength, or from carefully aimed pierces in the exposed joints. There is a reason knights ruled the European battlefield up until gunpowder was invented (and even then some armor smiths developed plate mail able to withstand early gunfire).

I feel as the rest of the factions are fleshed out you will see horseman be defeated more and more in areas where their mobility is limited so that they have to fight on foot. I have found that doing so makes them much easier targets when they are unable to just ride around and kill you.

Actually plate mail would protect you from a fall unless you fell extremely hard or in an awkward position. Under the plate mail was typically a combination of chain and padding (made from cotton and other softer materials) in order to lesson the impact from blunt weapons. The plate mail itself defended almost perfectly from slashing weapons due to its design but strong hammers could dent them, hence the padding (similar to how a bumper on a vehicle has air cushion to lesson the impact in a crash before it all collapses). It is also for these reasons that jousters would wear plate mail so if they were dehorsed they could still function with mostly injuries from the joust itself and some minor injuries to the legs and back in the case of a bad fall.

The only way I have noticed since tournaments no longer do it is to build the Training Grounds improvement in a town. It has a percent chance to convert a peasant recruit into a veteran recruit. I don't remember if this can only be done for a faction you are a part of or not.

Swadia and Rhodok have a new hybrid recruitment system since the patch before this. This allows progression for these different troops but they will not go up to the next type so militia cannot become cavalry as in vanilla.

That's really weird. Some strange coding or incorrect coding is my only guess. Unless the quality of the weapon is not taken into consideration and just the basic type of weapon rather than the quality modifier. Still seems strange though.

Been just lurking for a while but I had this problem at one point as well and I wonder if you are having the same issue I was having.

Check each person's individual autoloot options. If they are set to One Handed weapons they can also be set to prefer axes rather than just all one handed. When you change the autoloot settings you have to click ok for each individual companion I noticed.

I'm sure you have already done all this but I noticed it helped with my problems to double check those.
