Nords can kill Khergits because they are strong on the ground, have big shields, big axes, and powerful spears. Khergits, although fast, are not as strong as nords. They have limited munitions, and so must waste a lot of ammo to pierce a Nord's shield. Whenever a khergit is dehorsed, he is as good as dead, due to lack of melee capabilities. However, the Swadians, although powerful, are more sword and shield oriented, their cavalry relying on melee horse combat. The khergits are given a good amount of time to volley arrows at the inferior swadian cavalry, while the swadian shields are less likely to hold up to the volley than the Nord's shields. Look at the statistics of the two shields and you will see tha the nords have the superior armour and shields.

Sure thing, but you see, arrows are a value asset, not to be wasted 
To be honest, and for sake of example, in MP, i take one stack of arrows ( it's 30 i think ) and every round i finish with 9 to 15. I slay probably 2 to 3 with arrows. Not bad. I might get luck and *slash* a head in the meanwhile, while Kaltak, my faithful steppe "pony" kills another with a bump in the back before or after i'm dead, matters not ( yeah bump does full damage when hit in the back, so beware )
Nords have outstanding heavy infantry. They can storm places, hold them for a long time if needed be...but that's it. They cannot deploy fast, unfold to reach danger zones fast enough, cannot pin an enemy wherever they want...
But hey, they have the best shields, fine fine armor, fearsome 2H axes and murderous throwing axes.
Swadians are a good challenge, they are the standard all round army and field very good heavy cav and have the support of good xbows. Still they might loose more than they win. In SP it's phyrric victories, their strength so diminished they have to "strategically retreat" ( last night saw all the central Swadia area being sieged by the Khanate, swadia would win battles and relieve many of them, khergit would flee for a bit, then return for more of the same. Dhirrim changed hands 3 or 4 times in sequence. )
In MP, Swadians are a threat ONLY if well led and most of players battle very focused and organized.
Khergit demolish even when playing chaotic and disorganized most of times.
Now imagine a chaotic and organized play of the Khanate.
Awesome FUN.

An organized team of Khergits will crush any inferior opposition, just like any other faction. The difference is that Khergits, played well, do so in an infuriatingly relentless fashion.
The arrows of our enemy are fletched with fine quill,
But our arrows are fletched with maddening fear.
Dance them to the dark gates, my children,
Tease them, lure them, drive them mad.
