Played it again for 20 mins last night (seriously, lack of spare time at the moment sucks ass). Initial impressions are that the Khergit are over-powered, especially on maps with a lot of open ground, but I guess that's realistic. We played Khergit vs Rhodock in an open plain, and it was a massacre, we (Rhodock) didn't win a single game. Khergit mounted archers are more accurate than the other races unmounted archer troops.

Having said that, this game is very, very good.
