Any plans to nerf Khuzaits (especially the horse archers) from snowballing?

[c77]

They seem to always to dominate their opposition in battles and they are more likely to snowball than other factions. I have never been scared in my life than to face Khuzait archers on horseback. It's been like this for the past few months or so. I think it's pretty OP for them to have horse archer at troop lvl 2... Imperial gets them at lvl 5or 6 for example.

Also, I do run the Change Settlement Culture mod so I feel like it worsens the snowballing issue as they can get even more horse archers at new villages now. Regardless, Khuzait Horse Archers are pretty busted

Khuzait Horse Archers will not see a major change( We are always monitoring stats so this might change of course). On the bright side, we are also working implementing new features like hooked spears that dismount enemies under certain conditions and shield bracing which will make charging ( or passing by in this case) pike/spear-wielding enemies a much costly task. Please note that not all troops will have these features but those who do will be more effective against mounted units.

That sounds really good.

Is the following correct?
1. Khuzait build more cav than most other factions
2. AI gets to upgrade to horse/warhorse units for 'free'
3. Mounted units have a 20% bonus in autoresolve
4. AI vs AI autosresolve is always used

If so it seems that the Khuzait will always dominate the map. Which of the above will be changed?

5. Khuzait AI parties are faster than those of other nations, so they will more rarely end up in an unfavorable engagement, and more frequently be able to come to the aid of an allied party in time to make a difference.

One solution could be a functioning diplomacy system, where weak nations don't self-destruct by declaring too many wars, and alliances can be formed to defend against nations that are threatening to become too powerful. With good diplomacy mechanics, one nation having inherently stronger troops and parties is only a minor problem.

I think that

Khuzait Horse Archers will not see a major change

Is saying the actual units of Khuzait Horse archers will not change much. It's confusing because OP specifies the horse archer, but is asking about issues that only relate to Cav AC bonus and +movment speed for Khuzait.

It's been well reported that Khuzait tend to expand and dominate, so I would expect some of modification to their AC performances or other fixes in the future.
I would love to see them require actual horses to upgrade. Meaning they must spend time shopping for them and compete with each other, thus less khuzait armies and mounted units in general.

I have never been scared in my life than to face Khuzait archers on horseback.

If you're having problems I've talked at length many times on the main forum about how to easily destroy their formation. So much so that their behavior was changed in 1.5 to make cornering them harder (though still possible.) In short move to back of map, point ranged units diagonally into thier path, wide circle behind them with cav as they get close. They used to get stuck easily on edge of map, but now they try to escape, they try

Sieges and fights close the villages are hard for Khuzaids. So they must dominate other factions mostly on open fields. Khuzaids borned for horse archery. Do not nerf it. I dont know the AI fights but u can add diffirent bonuses for other factions to counter khuzaids snowball.

I don't think it's just the cavalry combat bonuses, if you look at their Lords' stats they also tend to have exceptionally high Tactics. Almost none of them have below 100, 120-140 is common, and some even have 180. Compare to Imperial and Sturgian nobles and the average is 80, with a few 100s. The rare stand-outs are 140, so that's a double-whammy. Maybe tone them down a bit and bring their tactics at least on-line with other factions, or even lower to counteract massive horse spam.

As far as the cavalry autoresolve bonus goes, can't really tell if it applies to siege and village battles, but it shouldn't. Cavalry also ought to get a penalty in woods, marsh, and snow. I think that would help a lot.

Finally, I think giving Sturgian nobles a combat bonus in snow would give them some much-needed love.
