The poor AI quite often gets its mounted units trapped against walls, making them that much easier to kill. If however the force consists mainly of veteran horse archers, who also have coursers, your best bet would be to fight in a valley or at the edge of the map, since their ability to move away from your cavalry is their main advantage. Only the veteran horse archer gets access to coursers, meaning that if the enemy force consists mostly of regular horse archers your best bet is to send in your fast lancers and yourself on a spirited courser. If you have a choice between leading the archers up a hill to save yourself some shafts and keeping them on level ground, give the hill a miss! Just try not to start a battle going uphill. If terrain permits, try to put a hill between yourself and the archers. Lead your army using the F2 (follow) command on an angle towards the archers. Khergit lancers, horse archers and veteran horse archers, however should be able to unhorse the foe or, even better, unfoe the horse.ДЄgainst archers and mixed forces Your cavalry should charge if the enemy is lighter armoured, but against knights do not send in tribesmen. Having your Lancers charge along the flanks of the enemy's formation is often a good way to inflict casualties without sustaining too many of them. Against Nord or Rhodok infantry and greater numbers, however, it's better to use some strategy. Unless you are heavily outnumbered, there is no need for tactics beyond simply charging them until there's no more. Khergit horsemen and lancers should make short work of most infantry. The Khergit's dedicated infantry unit, the Dismounted Lancer, is exclusive for bot use in Warband's custom battle and multiplayer modes.ДЄgainst a force of infantry, Khergit have a large advantage. They still don't have as much power as Knights, but are a good choice for warlords who can't afford other factions' top-tier horsemen.

They are now better than other factions' light cavalry, but are cheaper than heavy cavalry. They are much tougher, do more damage and now have tougher horses, but have lost their chance of having a ranged weapon. However, in Warband, Lancers have been significantly buffed. Despite their speed, the heavy cavalry of other factions is largely preferable to Lancers in the original Mount&Blade. However, they are not as powerful as other factions' highest level cavalry, and they are likely to lose their fast but relatively fragile Coursers. Khergit Lancers are fast and pack a punch, capable of quickly taking out both infantry and cavalry.

In Warband, it is advisable to put them in a command group separate from your regular cavalry. Ordering them to stand their ground will make them function much like a line of regular archers, and having them follow you is also a good way to prevent them from running off and getting killed. When using them it is important to make use of commands. Horse archers tend to do strange things, such as charging in with their melee weapon drawn or getting close to the enemy and not shooting. Their main flaws aren't with their traits so much as their AI. Their horses allow them to be relatively safe from infantry as they can stay out of melee range, and they are also able to stick close enough to cavalry to hit them easily (and perhaps best of all, they won't slow you down on the world map). Though not as skilled as Vaegir Marksmen, and with their accuracy lowered while on a moving horse, a group of Veteran Horse Archers is great for harassing enemy forces. The main feature of the Khergit lineup is its mounted archers, which have no counterpart in any other faction.
