Knight at Arms
Looking at the style of your post, you must admit - I'm a cultural influence.
(On a serious note, Rhodoks and Nords are not balanced in any way and yes - it is a problem. Not everyone likes or wants to play with all-Mamluke party, but just because they don't doesn't mean they should be heavily penalized. Playing with all-Mamluke party with player on a horse is like auto-win compared to playing on foot. The worse thing is that both of these Factions would be just fine if AI knew how to thrust spears when in formation, and if both Nords and Rhodoks had two infantry lines: a spearmen line and sword/other line. Nords would have spears and war spears as in multiplayer while Rhodoks Pikes and Awlpikes. With some basic knowledge of switching weapons. Unfortunately Taleworlds will not do this. I don't know how much work this simple change would require but I don't think it's realistic to expect it. Instead, Taleworlds thinks that it's better to buff infantry stats high up - like with Huscarls. I'm not a fan of this, personally, and would prefer to see focus on tactics instead of stats.)
I am a strong adherent of that wolf among men, that king Graveth. If he only had spearmen at his service, I'd try make best of them. Not counting the claimants, his personal integrity is better than any other king.

Play as another faction.
