Oh, but I will explain you and sorry for the late respond, so I'm starting: Khuzaits should be snowball faction early game because its historically accurate and you know of what I am talking about an empire 4 times bigger than the romans and 2 times bigger than Alexander's... 1000 army of empire cannot just go in the heart of the steppes and take Akalat or Orthongard... Also after defeat AI is COMEBACK with 80 100 men and fast built up 500 700 army whaaat? I mean even if they pull some of the garrisoned soldiers they still cannot make that army. Its getting worst for me so please bring back the historically accurate snowball of the mighty Mongols! If you want to weak them on snowball its more reasonable to be in the late game because "the iron is destroyed only by its own rust" and history reminds us that EVERY GREAT EMPIRE HAS FALLEN! Btw Monchung is staying in Chaikhand whole game because of the over populated lords - I MEAN THE KHAN is not moving or playing. Kiddos cries snowball snowball because their precious empire with shiny greedy knights is falling too fast well historically the empire had its time and now its time for the horde to conquer! So again for me, the AI changes in 1.5.6 are back in the stone age even worst. One last thing to even moooooooore precise according to history in the borders of present Bulgaria in those times there were several rebellions against the Byzantine occupators and the Paulicians started the biggest rebellion lets say that Danustica or Lavenia castle region should be always in rebellion against the eastern(southern) empire eh? That's history
the rest is government money but they dont give money just like that so I'm starting to think that this is going in the direction of historically propaganda in modern video games. This is only my opinion
