Sarranid gear looks horrible, while tons of khergit and nords equipment are out of context, cuir boile for russians, really? Sarranid elite armours put into khergit and sarranid new armors with colors that resemble a kids drawing, making your men look pathetic. So, anyway, I can still win without much effort with lowered difficult, but the casualties are way higher then what I've faced against any other kingdom. As for their elite cavalry, well, insanely strong, I could wipe all swadians with my mercenary cavalry army + rhodok infantry + crossbows, but khergits would tank them forever, not to mention their op charges that mostly ignored deployed pikes, by the battle sizes it made impossible to have a whole pike division just for them, specially because most of the time you'll be outnumbered. Rhodoks were meant to be anti-cavalry troops, but khergits have better archers then vaegirs, AND MOUNTED, AND HAVE RIDICULOUS HIGH ARMOR.

Rhodoks are way too OP, I've played with them on this one, and I could take any place at any time against any kingdom except for Khergit. I've realized that pavises are worthless with the new items + troop trees, specially because you can't ask your men to deploy them. Specially because of the special tier 7 troops that freelancers can't get and the limited list of armours and weapons for us to pick (can't even have crossbows), basically, u either go for RP with those guys and get a good looking gear, but ****y stats, or, go for best stats possible (with the ****y gear) and still get decimated. (Note: A troop within a basic devision can be equipped with more than one weapon type.Unbalanced like hell, the new troop trees wipe any elite freelancer armies. The table below shows the amount and tiers of different troops within the basic divisions as well as their weapon equipments. Their weakness lies in footsoldiers with one-handed weapons, be it hammers or swords. But they have learned a trick or two from the Khergit, since they can not only wield bows well too, but also mount them. Based on the early Russians, they too have specialised in strong knights.
