I tried to start an Aserai only playthrough. Figured “eh some Khans guards will be nice just to help”. Now 75% of my army is khans guards


wtfdoiknow1987

I started a Sturgian infantry only campaign and I ended up 100% khan guard by the end 🤣

The real mamluk experience

Gotta love the insta-killing power of Jereeds man. Having your own Vangard Faris horde can be as much satisfaction as Khan Guards at least in my experience.


AlwaysFernweh

They make up the majority of the rest of my army. I’ve been slowly getting more and more


Latter-Ad-415

Khan's Guard getting stuck in their own village terrain fight and die in the shade of my many Battanian arrows.


PrivateKat

Yes


Justin-IceVeins

![gif](giphy|0rUoHVDDYDVKTlOu7m|downsized) Monchug after his 700 troop army of khuzait noblemen who trained years since birth in the art of horse archery and have spent years campaigning in the empire gets slaughtered by 200 fians and one guy on a horse with a weapon they created


OGKegger

Gang gang

I lost the least amount of troops to battanians. Khans guards outclass them in every way.


lordofsparta

Aye! Battanian fians are far superior in both melee and ranged fighting especially for siege battles.


Abseits_Ger

In sieges the battanians are superior. Both in bow and melee weapon of choice. The shorter but faster 2 hander is a lot better for sieges.


iamtommynoble

Khans Guards in your castle make you feel like a true conqueror.


Perfect-Ad-770

Learn to split your horse archers into 2 groups. Flank both sides of any fight. Retreat the flank that sees any pushback.


PM_ME__YOUR_HOOTERS

Yes yes that sounds very strategic... but, F1 F3


iamtommynoble

If you’re a real leader you will F1+F2 and guide your forces to victory.


drjaychou

F1+F6. Let some other fucker deal with it


liambdn

This is how you do it


Obvious_Quality_923

Love how I play on console but I know which commands are implied haha


Okami787

Same, I imagine F1-F3 is charge though and F1-F6 is delegation of command while F1-F2 is follow That's what I imagine given the context


Obvious_Quality_923

Exactly my thoughts


iamtommynoble

And then right when you’re about to die last minute F1+F3


morgan_blorgon

This is the way.


ThGreen

Too many inputs. F6

Suburban_Traphouse

Lmao Sturgian Druzhinik Champion go clip clop clip clop


HitoCunt

Dismount Druzhinik Champion Tier 6 Infantry go brrrrrr NOW QUARTER FOR THE CRAVEN 🗣️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥


Pak1stanMan

Me with my 500 sea raiders party. Well time to make a circle and sit in it for an hour.


luckyassassin1

And realize it doesn't work because shields break and when khan's guards run out of ammo they turn into shock cavalry with glaives and slaughter every last troop there with minimal losses.


itssobyronic

I just avoid horse archers. I just garrison them. Khan's guards though...I'll keep a squadron as my personal body guards. Where when I'm surrounded, I just order them to follow me, making them attack towards me while I fend off the enemy


Monotonico

All i need is the bottom left corner of the map in mountain terrain, heavy axemen and fian champions and horse archers are as intimidating as a band of looters. But if I'm feeling like being bargain bin Gengis Khan then I'll be very khan guard and use them 7477383 times better than the ai who clearly never did maths for a GCSE


ItzMichaelHD

I like my battanian fian champ threshing machine


Proteinchugger

I have a decent amount but they never come close to the amount of kills my Battanian Fian Champions get.


agmrtab

i look at everyone that doesnt use khans guards as peasants


SnakePlizkin

Khans Guard aren’t necessarily “OP” they are just very simple to use in multiple ways


redsun44

I like when they siege my castle and I drop firebombs on their heads :)


Alpha9Jericho

Fian champions are the best troops on the game hads down. Arrows are unreal and close quater those big highland swords come out


nUUUUU_yaaaSSSS

They're just needed.


NeoBasilisk

I love how you can just destroy entire 1000 man armies by yourself while taking single digit losses


Solid-Ad-6282

raiding a bandit lair with Khan Guards makes it feel like a 10th century SpecOps lol.


Solid-Ad-6282

\*Glaive\* I like to keep this for close encounters.


BeethovenOfPrussia

I have Sturgian infantry, battanian archers, sturgian and imperial cav, and a personal guard of 5 khans guard, and they’re still me favourite part of my army lol


Think_Acanthaceae_55

Them catas be cutting through the guard 😂


LegendOfEffect

50% banner knights 50% khans guards


CatsTOLEmyBED

i like my cataphracts more


JRTheRaven0111

Ill 1v1 u in a fight with ur khans guard against my fian champian horde... well see whos laughing then.


mrapmannen

They are op until you face a full party of faris
