    I personally can't decide between Nords and Swadians.

    I try to be just a regular mercenary with my hired blades.

    But, if I want to go around and conquer, I'd be either the Swadians or Nords.

    In v0.808 and previous versions, I favored the Swadians because of their heavy cav.

    In v0.89X, I now use the Vaegirs because of their crack archers. They also have much better knights now that always get warhorses. No more hunters that get killed easily that'll leave them on foot.

    Swadians. They have the best all-around troop selection: heavy horse, crack "archers", infantry that isn't terrible. I would like the Rhodoks more if their spearmen had a little more umpf and they had some cavalry options.

    The Rhodoks Sargent's are insanely strong though often enough they give me a run for my money.

    Khergits are cool, but anyone know what happened to that awesome lamellar that some of them used to wear?

    The lamellar armor is now purple, worn primarily by the Vaeger from what I've seen. If you mean the gold armor the Black Khergits wore, I don't know. I would assume that that suit is on a back burner or fell by the wayside (along with the black armor).

    Yeah, the gold armour, it's sad they removed it, I was hoping they'd make it a piece of equipment you could use in this version .

    Khergits all the way, at least that is what the Mongolian Government is telling me to vote for (CONSPIRACY!). Honestly though, I just love being a horse archer. It feels far more unique than being a Caucasian knight/viking.

    I'm a Lancer, when I play Khergits, ride in fast and spear them (but I try not to use couched lance, it's more satisfying trusting the lance through their head as you ride past them).

    Khergits all the way. The a.i. for horse archers sucks right now, but when it gets fixed there will be no stopping them. However, I will be very disappointed if they don't bring back the black khergit guards and their gold lamellar.

    Too true, what I don't get is why there's no HA key, because they don't respond to cavalry and they don't respond to archers, you have to just select all and tell them to follow, then tell the infantry and archers to charge, so the cav and HAs follow you and the infantry and archers move to attack.

    My own Khergit experience has been one of my horse archers ditching their bows in favor of swords and charging headlong into the enemy like they were Swadian Knights or something. It's exceedingly frustrating when you compare such behavior to Steppe Bandits, who will not switch to a hand weapon until they are completely out of ammo.
