Change Knights to Companions (plz read!)

[Ezumiyr]

I would like to point out how the numbers in the game are far from final. Even after the game releases, there is bound to be changes to certain numbers.

We're two weeks before release - at this point the devs won't make that kind of change anymore.
Sure it could still be changed after release, but it's very likely that the numbers won't get tweaked, and the balance has already been worked with. They will surely not change the numbers just so it seems more realistic. If they change it, it's because there's an issue with balance that is noticed after release.

Oh, they won't change the numbers much before the release, I know that.
But they can certainly work on them in post-release patches. If they feel any change is even needed...

I don't think the OP's issue is with the numbers per se, more the name as that doesn't link with what they envision when they think of Knights?

A king have hundreds of knights but he has only a handful of champions.

Actually, in that era armies was much smaller than most people think. And, while there would be plenty of knights in the kingdom, most of them served various counts and dukes, not king directly (i.s. exactly like in the game). Of course, unlike game, in real life vassals would join their liege in his wars, along with all their knights.

P.s. I'm pretty sure i seen term "Baghatur" in some screenshot, which is steppe term for champion. And nordics probably will get "hirdmans".
