Some thoughts:
Commandos are weak. I thought commandos were supposed to be the elite infantry of the Swadian empire, the front line troop, masters of one-handed combat and shields. In hard mode shields are weak, forcing you to pick up huscarl shields while in the middle of a fight if you want to live.
Inability to use Nordic items. I don't like this, on the main page it says "With the Swadian empire in ruins, you are all that remains to defeat the invading Nords", surely some swadians who survived previous battles would loot better shields and armour from dead nords? Or maybe these troops haven't fought against the nords yet?
Lack of map vote. On hard-mode some maps are very difficult even if you are working as a team, if you have a good shield wall the enemy archers can still pick you off one by one. Maybe this is an issue with some of the maps since the best spots to defend let the enemy archers attack you from the side.
Random time of day. I know this was added in a previous patch but when you get night-time it is annoying. Night-time makes it much harder to see the enemies. Also, it is unfair since it varies from person to person, one sniper might be able to see the enemy further away since he has daytime and the other cannot see that far because he has night.
