Having two horse archer factions would be very good, that way we could have those dreamed of swirling cavalry skirmishes.

I don't mean Cataphracts as much as heavy cavalry more in line with what Western Europe had at the time. Egypt under Saladin used heavy cavalry in addition to their light cav and horse archers, as did many other Middle Eastern states of the time. Often they would actually have as much if not more armor than the Frankish knights they fought. Of course their armies weren't made up of nearly as many heavy cavalry as the Europeans, since in the East, the knight did not rule supreme; he shared his throne with the horse archer. And the climate favored lighter cavalry as well (compared to Western Europe).Gabeed 说:
Although the Turks did have some Azeri mercenaries during the siege of Antioch if memory serves me correctly, and these horsemen were armored from head to toe and fought with swords (not lances). Of course this wasn't common-place all over the region, but the easterners had their share of heavy troops as well as the west.
I am thinking that the Sarranid/Sarranidae, (Whatever you wish to call them) that will probably be the first "black" faction in the game will be awesome! I've always though that it's strange how you can be "black", but the entire world is white. I'm hoping that there will be a whole new attack style coming from the new faction. Also hoping that the world map is extended.
I'm also hoping that the infantry will probably be fast but have next to no body armor, and really good shields, like the Rhodok shields. (But metal).
Having mounted archers on camels would be quite awesome. But, if that isn't going to be added, modders can always add Camels in easily.

More HA would be nice, but make difference between them and khergits is very important - because as we can see on foot archer example, making some class "just better at everything" and another "just weaker at everything" isn't good idea. Make them "horse-archer/light cavalry hybrid" and khergit as "designed horse-archers" would work.
Good. But firstly we should get rid of light cavalry in heavy cavalry factions. Bast way is to make them worth their price and give enough money to buy them.
- HC should be better than LC in most situations (more hp and charge damage for heavy horses, couching available only in couch-saddle, more chance to fall from low saddle, no thrust for great lance, ect.)
- There should be more denars available to players (preferably 2000/player + less income)
- There should be more ways to spend denars if you chose cheaper class (Buying bots or siege engines, giving money to other players)
We actually have one archer/infantry hybrid, which should can buy shield and sword (other thing that they have athletics equal to cavalry, which make them weak in melee...)
I wouldn't mind more melee-archers, even if only difference was equipment design. And as above - don't make them "just better".
Sorry, I meant the "known" world. The world we can currently see. There is no "black" group in the game. There are four white groups and one tanned group.
Awesome that we have a new group.
Awesome that we have a new group.
Meh. Europeans aren't exactly "White".
I dislike to see your face alas can't do anything about it.
Are you people high? Arabs/Persians are black?

"The Mamelukes also had some decent melee cavalry as far as I know". Glad someone mentioned this. In regarding the race issue Egpyt did raise levies from the African populations close or around the Nile. What about Ghulams? Ghulams can be everything from spearmen, archers to heavy cavalry. Maybe people should look through Medeival Total War 2 mods, like Broken Crescent. Lots of eastern oriantated troops on there.
Most of Arabian armies had cavalry and in Warband our new faction can use Lamellar Armor a,b, their faces must be hidden with black or dark-blue bandanas. For more info you can watch Kingdom of Heaven, you can see arabian armies sieging Jerusalem.

new faction name is Sarranid Sultanate.
"You'll also have to practice your skills on a brand new faction: the Sarranid Sultanate. Inspired by medieval Arab cultures, the Sultanate are warriors whose villages exist in new desert climates. The inclusion of the Sultanate significantly expands the map of Calradia, providing new towns and villages to explore and hopefully add to your growing kingdom. If diplomacy fails, you can force them under your control with overwhelming military might, which will include sieges on castles and fortified villages. However, as the leader of these troops, you'll have to be careful because attacking fiefdoms can reduce troop morale, and broken soldiers will drop their weapons and run from the field of battle." - IGN.
