To be fair, its not a thing in multiplayer anymore. And being points based both in roster and in scoring multiplayer is as close to tabletop as you're gonna get (Unless you played tabletop against nobody?) I do like single player still allowing for power fantasy gameplay though. They should create a unit caps setting you can apply to single player though so you arent at a disadvantage against the AI.

The name of the unit "Knechten" is a false pronounciation by the game. The true pronounciation of the unit would be "Knechte" which means "servants" in german. "knechten" is the corresponding verb which means "to subjugate" . "Knecht" is also the orign of the word "Knight" (because a Knight was the servant or "Knecht" of his lord or king). The germanic languages later diversified which is why in germany the name for "Knight" became "Ritter" which is more akin to the meaning of "horseman".
