I'm getting Royally Spanked by Khergits

[hayabusa12]

This is why I joined the khergits .

truer words have not been spoken.

So, is the khergit AI good again?  Will their horse archer do what they are supposed to do?

 

[hayabusa12]

yup, they ride around in circles and shoot.

I have no greater sattisfaction than dishonoring a whole khergit warband by unhorsing them.
BTW,"oefully" was a mistype by me,seems my "w" key sticks...
Also,am not a native speaker :p
About dishonoring...if you're a khergit,getting unhorsed means dishonor,right?That's how it seems to me when their entire army comes galloping...at least some of my blades choose to go on foot by themselves.
In the future version of M&B,when it will be possible to capture Shnjar Khan,I'll make sure I sell him into slavery...as a revenge for the countless rhodok innocents to wich he has done the same.
Edit:Am I the only one who considers those tactics silly?I mean,c'mon..I'm the only one left on the battlefield, vs 20 khergits,and all they do is shoot arrows at me while I chase them...not that I can catch them...but it's sure as hell those arrows aren't hurting me much,or my 85 armor charger...it always ends in a slow massacre for them...

So so. They're still falling into hand to hand too much, I think.

Playing as a Vaegir Noble, I noticed that by teaming up Vaegir Guardsmen with Vaegir Marksmen I lost very few men, so long as I controlled their movement properly, and that the Khergits had trouble attacking. Note- it would also help if you maintained a thorough column of spear troops with shields, hired blades, militias, etc... If there's one thing I don't like about native troop trees it's that equipment is so varied that sometimes it makes gameplay less strategic.

Also I'm keen on observing one thing...what kind of sane cavalry group would charge a straight line of spearmen?It still baffles me to see some of those suicidal khergits just impaling themselves into my well prepared wall of rhodok shields and spears...while trying to avoid the deadly barrage of bolts from my marksmen.
I tell you,khergit computer player are losers.And until they cease being like that,I will take enslave as many of them as possible!
