You may use any Hotkey for the units, and may use any units from any faction. Heavy cavalry from other factions can also be used to support your khergit warband if lancers don't do the trick. For field battles, pick mobile, hard hitting infantry such as Huscarls, Rhodok Sergeants and Vaegir Guards to support your cavalry. Dismounted Khergit soldiers do offset some of this problem, but on foot, Veteran Horse Archers and especially lancers are easily matched or bettered by almost any other nation's foot soldiers.ДЄlthough you will probably be best off using Rhodok troops to defend your towns/ castles. Against a solid shield wall with protected flanks and/or on a battlefield that's particularly uneven or wet, a pure Khergit army will inevitably suffer substantial losses, if not be defeated entirely. Though the most obvious need for infantry is besieging and defending fortified fiefs, there are also some critical roles in the field that can only filled by infantry.

The best advice for the aspiring Khergit lord would be either to go and get troops from another faction to assist in sieges or completely overwhelm your opponents with your firepower.ДЄdditionally, foreign soldiers are also necessary for a successful Khergit army because of the unique disadvantages from the exceptionally detrimental tactical rigidity caused by lacking any form of infantry.

In sieges, all but one of their units having missile weapons pays off in attacking and defending castles, though their light armor makes them weak in melee. With just a little luck, you can easily kill, pillage, and burn the countryside of every nation in the game, as well as easily win field battles (even against Rhodoks, if you put a little planning into it). Not only does the Khanate start out with four towns, but they have the most mobile armies in all of Calradia.
