Steppe bandits... in steppe!

[Kamamura]

Yesterday, I experienced steppe bandit attack in their natural habitat and it was very impressive. Totally flat terrain, I had only few footmen on my side. First I saw something moving on the horizon, and then the wave of horsemen came. I had only two-handed voulge to defend, I threw a few jarrids and then they came! Whirling maces and swords all around me, I parried one from the left, got one from the right, then a mace blow knocked me off my feet and I reveived two more spear jabs and was knocked out cold.

The whole affair did not last more than a few seconds! When there are no hills to take advantage off, cavalry attack is devastating - as it should be! Mighty fine experience. Steppe bandits also reseble Mongols - and whole known world feared Mongols once.

But noone fears steppe bandits.

Footmen without shields do. Or they should, trying to avoid horse archers' arrows while on feet is pretty fustrating.. Though when you have a horse, a shield and a lance, well, you have nothing to be afraid of really.

Steppe bandits are like, well, steppe nomads and warriors, and bandits probably take ''refuge''. The khergit are the mongols.

You know, I recently realized that Khergits give more experience than Sea Raiders do.


Now that's just an outrage.

 

[Sir Dragos]

Steppe bandits are little children comparing to the khergit riders. I killed 24 bandits wits 2 swadian knights , but I lost 12 of them fighting the same number of khergit riders.

Steppe bandits are... well. Steppe bandits. Stinking, dirty, unorganized bandits that somehow managed to get a sword.

Khergit Raiders... *shivers*
It's all the same in the new versions, whether you get into a fight with dark hunters or khergit riders if you are a low lvl character who isn't able to get more powerful troops than caravan guards.

Kherigt Raiders are mongols. Steppe bandits are just scum.
