So, ignoring the necro, knights are supposed to be overpowered because they were overpowered in real life. However I don't think they're unbalanced, it's just that the AI can't deal with them very well. If you want to defend against knights you have to use terrain to your advantage to nullify the knights' mobility: park your troops on a hill or in a forest. Get your infantry out in front in a dense formation, and then put Vaegir marksman or Rhodok sharpshooters behind them. The knights will get stopped by your infantry, and then be sitting ducks to your ranged units. Though since AI's only strategies are bumrush, advance in a thin line, and camp on a hill in a thin line, they can't defend against cavalry very well.
If I were to mod the game to balance the game a bit I'd:
-improve AI battle tactics and formations
-increase the cost of knights slightly
-make spears braceable so infantry can actually use them properly
-give ranged units smart targeting, so they shoot at the horses if the cavalry have shields up
