I toyed around and found a long way and a short way to deal with the Pechengs.

The long way involved the fact that the Pechengs wouldn't come within a few tiles of the Kazar's walls in Phase 2. As a result, I built 8 towers right up against their wall (outside, not inside it) and garrisoning them with villagers and archers. Sure enough, once the massive wave came, their Light Cavalry did not attack the towers, only their archers did. The LC just ran up to within 2 tiles of them, then turned around and kept doing that. What followed was a long massacare that so drained the Pechengs' resources that they never upgraded to T2 weapons and armor save Bodkin Arrow and by the time I got to Phase 3, all they could muster was a 'raid' of half a dozen Light Cavalry. I killed them off and was in the process of building a dozen rams when the diplomacy change occured. I changed it to enemy and slaughtered them all.

The short way is that I fled when told in Phase 2. Once I got into Phase 3 and had the diplomacy change, I changed my diplomacy to enemy and destroyed them as they did not change their diplomacy and just took it. My rams, Light Cavalry and Magyar Hussars destroyed everything with ease....and gave a sense of satisfaction given the previous phases.

I also found out that if you attack the Pechengs in Phase 6 when you are in the Imperial Age, it causes Arpad to die, even if he is garrisoned in one of your castles and not involved in the battle. Why, I do not know, but it was an annoying discovery.
