Riding speed with bow equiped should be limited so that other cav units can catch up.
They shouldn't. Horse archers are supposed to be light and mobile, renders their role useless otherwise.
for captain,
they easily get killed from enemy horsemen and infantry and archers when "f1 f3"
so i always tell them to follow me,,
getting great spots for skirmishes and always run from any dangers
Even then !!
when they get their jobs ok sometimes, the effect is not that impressive
even if they got a perfect match
the conclusion:
the hard work doesn't get payed well with them
for that, increases size by 1 or 2 might get them very balanced imo
and if possible, improving their "reaction speed" to a command and maneuver might help a lot
"giving them the double W W sprint to make the maneuvers works faster"

Unnecessary amount of arrows, unnecessary damage and unnecessary bow readying time. If you don't have any good archers its a high chance that the team with the horse archers will win. Horse archers can ready the bow in a split second and inflict 50 damage if they aim for the chest(which is quite easy to do). Readying speed should be decreased a lot and accuracy should be decreased a bit.
Captain Mode:
They're useless in the following situations: Island of Deriad, Against any team with equal or more cavalry captains.
They typically trade badly with enemy archers which is to be expected.
They can't hold their own against any other cavalry.
When moving at all their aim is horrible (they cannot retreat and fire accurately at cavalry chasing them, for example).
They are exceptionally good at dealing with shock infantry, which they need to since khuzaits have none.
You're still better off getting the lancers with a bow and arrow instead of this unit, since its the strongest cavalry in melee at the moment while also doubling as a horse archer.

Regarding the price nerfs on cavalry, it's apparent to me that the Mounted Archer is exempt from this, even though they're arguably the most annoying troop to fight against. With the way things are right now, the MA is actually a cheaper nomad than an actual nomad. Just perforate a spearman to death, drop your bow and arrow and steal the dead spearman's spear
Right now mounted archer is money sink in siege/tdm/battle modes. They have so bad horses, so low armor and their bows not good either.
Their price must be reduced or units buffer greatly. Khuzaits are cavalry based peoples after all right?

absolutely useless class in Siege/TDM, even a Nomad is better for combined horse archery/strike capabilites in those modes
Considering no heavy inf/no 2h class on this faction - Khuzaits lose 90% of Siege games
