********* Mongols!

[Leon1111]

Hi all,
First posting so forgive if its stupid.
Firstly congrats on the LTC mod, amazing dont know how you do it, fantastic.
Just a question. I took out the Mongols in an epic battle that reduced my 5 Byzantine fields armies to a bunch of limping bodies held together by the straps on the armour..... just finnally taking out the Egyptians and lo and behold another Mongol horder bigger than the first ( complete with rocket launchers) arrives outside Baghdad just as Im closing in for the kill. Is this part of the game or something wierd ( Comps revenge for making it play the 2.5 hour battle against the Mongols?) not sure I can face 'doing' the Mongols AGAIN.
Again congrats on all the brilliant work you guys do to enable people like me to waste our lives so enjoyably!

I've experienced the two mongol hordes as well... believe it to be on purpose as well as technically historically accurate. Of course, I just killed off the first round be assasinating all the generals, which meant I had more bodies for the second wave.

I have a question and don't care to launch a new thread for it so here it goes:
@Lusted
Because of the timescale 1 year / 1 turn, factions have 2x more turns to prepare for the Golden Horde than in vanilla. Does this make Mongols less threatening?

Well ask yourself the same question. Do you think you have more than enough time to prepare for them? Or are you busy fighitng other wrs so that when they ocme you have to try and switch priorities?

I don't think that'd be too much of an issue. Build times are expanded, so that in reality you're not actually progressing faster than you were in Vanilla. The only difference is that it takes longer for them to get there. You should be in about the same position building/unit-wise.

In two recent campaigns (one Portuguese, the other England, both on VH/VH) the Mongols owned all of the Levant, including the Egyptian and Turkish home areas. Great fighting!
