Unit sneakpeaks:
Kievan Militia

http://users.skynet.be/Carthaginian/RTW/news/kiev2.gif
These militiamen are recruited from Kiev and allied towns and villages. Other then a shield and a thick coat they wear no armour, but their short axes can do quite a lot of damage.
Faction(s):
Principality of Kiev
Mala Druzhina, Druzhina Cavalry & Foot Druzhina
http://users.skynet.be/Carthaginian/RTW/news/druzhina.jpg
Faction(s):
Principality of Kiev, Novgorod
The Druzhina make up the elite units of the russian city states. The Mala Druzhina forms the king's personal bodyguard, while the Druzhina cavalry act as shock cavalry equiped with bows to soften their opponents right before the charge. In some occasions such as castle defence or assault, or in heavily forested battlefield the Druzhina might choose to fight dismounted, forming the Foot Druzhina. Armed with bows and swords there make a powerfull but small sized infantry unit.

Faction(s):
Cuman/Mongols
The mongol heavy cavalry is composed from mongol nobility and the richest of it's warriors. They have well armoured horses capable of acting as heavy shock cavalry. Like most mongol units they also carry bows to harras their opponents, but they are too slow and expensive to act as horse archers.
Faction preview:
Hungary

The Hungarian army relies a broad range of cavalry units, both european style heavy cavalry and swift steppe tribe light cavalry and horse archers, supported by large numbers of light to medium infantry.
