Will this faction feature a lot of Asian influenced units, since it is the remnants of the Liao dynasty from northern China. And btw, Muslim historians called it Khitay or Khitai before the Mongols invaded.

Khara Khitans were also called Western Liao,
which shows their Northern Chinese Origin.
They will be the most
"Asian"
Faction there is.

Have to correct myself they were under Chinese Influence.
They would be either Nestorian or Buddhist.
They used steppe like armies meaning a lot of light horse archers
and a few heavier troops,with Infantry which could be of
Vassals (AOR) with a heavy influence of Chineses Weaponry.
So they are Chinese influenced Mongols wich use a lot of light cavalry.
