KHERGIT KHANATE Complete Faction Overview

[@vortac4995]

i think if warband had more diverity in formations and actual battle tactics khergits would be one of the strongest faction in the game

[@herrben2580]

VORTAC Khuzaits (ancestors of khergits) will be probably the best faction in bannerlord.

[@darkfireslide]

Eh they would be alright but like if you've played Floris, foot archers wreck horse archers so it's still pretty balanced but I too would love to see a proper horse archer AI

[@darkfireslide]

@Orgeneral Başkomutan Filozof Üstad Dr HCO cc Well, a War Bow or Longbow might be enough. :) but yeah that's how I always fight the Khergits.

[@dukes2874]

you lost it when you said formations. the only way to win against cavalry is to keep your formation. the only reason Khergits are "ok" is that they train fast and u can run fast in the map to avoid battles you cant win. they suck at sieges cause low armor and health stats. and to beat the game you have to siege and get castles and towns. so. they are bad.

[@dukes2874]

@Orgeneral Başkomutan Filozof Üstad Dr HCO cc so what happend to khergits will be the best if you need other faction troops. + their armor is bad. In siege they die like flies against crossbows.

Now, man hunters turn into slave drivers, which turn into slave hunter, then slave crusher, then slaver chief. The man hunter “faction” is only useful when combined with other stronger Calvary as they don’t have iron flesh and are only good for taking prisoners.

[@gusmiccy1719]

[@lukebrowntraining9770]

Manhunter/slaver units are always weaker than the equivalent tier of faction cavalry, but allow you to consistently get prisoners for profit. Having a small contingent of them either embedded in your cavalry or hanging behind to charge in a group of their own after you've mostly destroyed the enemy and capture the survivors can be a great strategy for profit, but they're not worth pursuing for winning battles. Bandit and peasant units all upgrade either into faction troops, slavers, or mercenaries. Bandits and peasants pretty much suck at fighting, but are very cheap and quick to acquire. Forest and taiga bandits can make for surprisingly useful early-game archers if you can capture them, and steppe and desert bandits are actually pretty OK light cavalry, as are brigands but they can only be acquired in small numbers through certain quests. Looters, farmers and other peasants, and mountain bandits serve best as distractions, they can be used as bait to funnel enemy forces into a killzone, or just because it's kinda funny to order peasants to charge in front of heavy cavalry. Mountain bandits are comparable to most T1 and some T2 infantry, and some have ranged weapons. Sea raiders are the exception. If you manage to capture and recruit them early game, they're comparable to Nord warriors, and you should refrain from "upgrading" them to Nord recruits until you're confident you have the time and safety to train those recruits up to warrior level. They can be excellent heavy infantry in the early-game, but they tend to sneak out of camp in the night when impressed into your service. Non top-tier mercs are basically not worth dealing with. They're expensive and wholly unremarkable, it's usually better to keep traveling to other taverns than to hire low-tier mercenaries and try to upgrade them, as the recruitment cost for low-tier mercenaries is still very high. Mercenary crossbowmen are the top-tier merc archers, they are comparable to Swadian crossbowmen, but much pricier. Pointless unless you desperately need ranged units on short notice. Mercenary cavalry are the top-tier mercenary cavalry units, they are expensive, but comparable to Vaegr Knights, maybe a little worse. Useful for temporarily filling the cavalry hole while you train up faction troops, but not worth their cost. Sword sisters are the top tier female mercenary cavalry. They are every bit as capable as their male equivalents (moreso in some ways), but cost half as much. Pursuing these units is absolutely worthwhile, they may not match Swadian knights or Sarranid Mamlukes, but they aren't far off, and are considerably cheaper than either. Bolstering your ranks with them is completely viable, but they are difficult to aquire, and all ranks of female mercenaries below T3 ("Huntswomen") are even more helpless than farmers and looters, so they must absolutely be kept out of combat. Hired blades are top-tier mercenary infantry. They are awesome, comparable to dismounted Swadian knights and not far from Rhodok or Swadian sergeants. Their performance absolutely justifies their wages until the player can train large amounts of elite heavy infantry of their own, and stocking up on them prior to sieges can work out very well. I like to use a contingent of them to lead the charge on sieges because I consider them more expendable than my elite units that I've devoted a long time to training, I usually group them under "Mercenary" and shove them into a vanguard role. Hired blades are also as fast as cavalry on the map, so they can be used by a highly mobile cavalry force with no penalty to pathfinding. An honorable mention too to mercenary swordsmen, they're not as well armed or armored as hired blades, but are cheaper and still highly capable heavy infantry, and they tend to have bigger shields than the blades do, making them less vulnerable to archers. If amassing a temporary mercenary infantry force, they can be worth acquiring too.

Khergits are plenty good at sieging if they have 800 troops with them!

[@vxu3826]

Khergits are also exceptionally strong in campaigns early game. When paired with multiple high party vassals they have hundreds if not a thousand+ horse archers, and in an open battle they are extremely powerful. Especially against the sarranid, who have mostly flat lands. In sieges they suck ass but with sheer numbers and cost effectiveness of their troops you can get a solid foothold if you are a vassal of the khanate

[@Michael-kd1ho]

The key with Khergits is to keep the ratio of 60/40 horse archers and lancers. Choose your battles, keep to the open field - which you will be able to pretty much anytime, since with Khergits you have map mobility advantage. Group lancers and horse archers, circle the enemy and try having the horse archers volley into unprotected flanks or rear. It's not ezmode Swadian knight charge, takes some practice - but alot of fun. Defending castles is not as bad as you might think - horse archers are decent enough on the walls, and lancers can plug up the holes with spears more effectively than you might think. Now, taking castles is diffrent...

[@RocketHarry865]

if only warband had ai that allows horse archers to stay at a distance and circle their opponents

[@vxu3826]

The issue with that is advanced horse archery AI is extremely broken and near unbeatable if the stats are good

[@bencefodor8046]

Dickplomacy reloaded solves this problem

[@drakorazcossard5315]

There's this AI in the Lord of the Rings mod, Rohan horse archers are SO. FREAKING. BROKEN. O_O

[@xijinpingflamenguista1432]

The Mount and Blade from 2008 did that

[@eldeebcampeador]

The horse archers do keep riding and shooting from afar. It's the same tactic they use almost always, harrassing with their elite horse archers and the lancers charging. The only issue with them is their cavalry being unarmored, so once their knocked off their horses, they get absolutely undone. So, it has nothing to do with lack of AI tactics, more with the fact of their lack of armored horses.

[@Revan-vk2ld]

Mods and Viking conquest please

[@mairvik6800]

The Khergit troops are much more better if used against harassing infantry, like going near foot troops and firing arrows and then retreating slightly or let lancers tere through infantry and retreat slightly. And repeat and repeat, if the enemy has a larger number harass them and retreat and repeat.

[@KaiserTwo]

Use 'BACKSPACE' and rename Calvary to "Horse Archers", putting your horse archers there, you will be able to easily maneuver them around the enemy lines, once used this and obliterated 50 people with only 3 or so dead/wounded

[@theperson8275]

I really feel that they should have buffed the melee side of the Khergits. It would give them an edge in siege, and would make a nemesis to the Swadian Cavalry.

[@subutaynoyan5372]

The only problem with them is the fragility. And it is a good thing, when nomad armies broke in history, they broke bad. You have to be aware of your strength and never force your odds in mountainous regions, you have to manage your troops, horse archerz aren't swadian knights, they're not built for melee combat. You can't just command a charge and expect them to win

[@zandermonday9037]

The problem with khergits is that they are all low level. Which means they all die in autocalc. Well, why is that a problem? They have 3 enemies around, sarranids, vaegirs and swadians. On my recent playthrough it only took 100 in-game days for them to get absolutely massacred. Also, late game is all about sieges, in which they suck

[@jakemiller2507]

[@henrykkeszenowicz4664]

Khergit Lancers are actually very solid even when dismounted. They have hafted blades which are the only polearm that can be swung on horseback, and it can stop charging cav when the lancer is dismounted. When it comes to one handers, they have war axes and clubs combined with elite cavalry shield and good skills, and most importantly even if you lose some lancers, they're not hard to replenish. They're okay at sieges, but require elite dismounted horse archer support and no lower tier troops, as those will be completely useless in a siege. Tldr: Dismounted khergit lancer still strong.

[@guyffy]

I think that the most effective way to use khergits is by making different divisions for different charges and also overwhelm the enemy with the sheer amount of troops because they are pretty cheap.

Sarranid Mameluks are the best chivalry or cavallery in the game. Khergit Archers on horseback are quicker but at the end they will lose.

WTF , dont use the Khergit to siege? I think they are the best units to siege with. I take the whole map with an army of Veteran Horse Archers alone. And I play on hard mode no cheats. Every time I assault a castle I make them go as back as possible and snipe enemy range weapons. Then make them hold fire as I snipe infantery with head shots. As a new road of enemies appears, i let them fire hell again , By the end the enemy is at such a low number that they even charge out of the castle as a last resource and My Khergit will hold their ground quite well, still sniping people as they come down the ladders and finally on the mele. Cus their armor is quite decent. I think this is actually the best faction in the game to play with. If I combine 20 Swanian Knight with the max possible of khegit that is gonna be devastating.
