Alright.
This video starts a war with Khuzait and very... painfully... slowly... agonizingly... illustrates the respawning issue of the lords and their defection to the Khuzait empire. For over 10 hours you can watch for yourself how slaughtering thousands... and I do mean literally thousands ... of these guys had NO effect on their holdings through multiple wars with other factions. The immediate respawn of lords is just unreal, the amount of farming these guys needed to level is beyond reasonable.
I thought before this was a matter of army balance, but no, Vlandia was only and hour or two just before this to curtail their expansion. I thought ok, I'll push the Khuzait back a bit and keep them from taking over. And I was able to hold them off for 10 hours, but not push them back at all. They just traded frontline cities with all the other factions for that long under more or less constant destruction of their lords parties..
Maybe your play experience has been similar or you could share some thoughts on this. I know its long, it was long to play, too. I record it, unedited with all the mistakes and stupid things I did. But I really get the impression that Khuzait are superior not from army balance, except for a higher use of cavalry and movement speed, but from the ability to recruit and economic strength. I don't think they are balanced in the current state and why they are so strong every game is the matter at hand.
In paticular they seem to run over Northern Empire very quickly, and the whole of the east empire is usually within their control in the first few hundred days. After that they are near unstoppable without player intervention.
