Right now, I'm still grinding bandits. But starting to think about the long game. Intend to join a faction at some point. 1-When building your army do you guys mix & match units from different factions? Or do you stick with troops from only one faction? Will my Swadian footmen desert if I go to war with Swadia later in the game? 2-Do you actually need all classes, infantry, cavalry, ranged? The battles all seem to devolve into a street mob fight.

From then I think I'll try conquering everything with the Sarranids and finally the Khergits. After all that's said and done, THEN I might see about starting my own kingdom. DISCLAIMER: NO, I AM NOT PLANNING TO START MY OWN KING...
