just a mongol question

[Kjertesvein]

hey, just wondering when the mongols are comming near my K-waz-empire?
Any details about their effect?

Iam also in war with the other horde (northwest), the great sultan and and the Gaznys. bad relations from the rayput to the abbaysd*. I currently have all the Kwaz-dessert citys and the three/four montain regiones south of the capital.

Tips would be great-

BTW- great game"

[Midas Before Method]

My god... I'm seriously reconsidering playing as the Khwarezm...

[Ahiga]

You should be ok. Just bum rush to either Azerbaijan or India.

Think they come in 1219 near Samarkand, judging from other posts I've read.

[craziii]

hehe, you still need to think after looking at the screenshot?

[Sinan]

There's no date on that screenshot. Oh you mean where they spawn, yeah that's obvious innit d00d.

I'm playing the Shah, I'm looking forward to a good fight ! Mongols in vanilla were a HUGE disappointment. I'm pretty sure in BC they can be beat as well but even if I lose I'l be glad if I have some great epic battles. I think best would be to block all the bridges, just to gauge what can be done, then it would be an attrition game, I guess. In my current campaign I can field about 15-18 full stacks by 1219, don't think it's going to be enough.

Yeah, when I was the K Shah, I had decided Bukhara was a sacrifice, as there was no proper way to defend it, but all the entrances elsewhere were blocked by forts.

They were never fortified, as I never played up to the mongols (short att. span).

[Otsman]

i saved up around 500k as khwarazm, and by the time the mongols got to my realm, i had 14 full stacks waiting for them. right now its a complete deadlock, every time i aproach them they run away, but i now have them cornered in a mountain pass, the only problem is, is that i can't exploit my superior numbers, hence the deadlock.

[Commander Ruunu]

They are not that bad....... they are much worse. I'm dealing with them right now and well i have 3 stacks left, i had 6 in the beginning and they have lost 3 or 4 stacks.

[craziii]

1219 and you can field 15 stacks??? plz post a screen shot of your finance screen.

i have no idea how to post screens, but heres what i did-

-took ALL of persia from the seljuks and sacked EVERY settlement, i then took all of ghazni, sacking everything and randsoming all the captured soldiers (the rajputs took all of what the ghorids had)

-salutary neglect, i only built what was absolutly nessesary and would benefit my economy (paved roads mostly)

-most of my armies were low level spearmen, my whole strategy was to overcome them with wave upon wave of spears.

-the only high level unit i used was kalaj turkish archers

the downside is that i'm making about $1000 a turn and it takes about four of my armies to defeat one of theres. also most of my provinces are in near rebellion due to the lack of soldiers (you'll be suprised at how much men you have if you drain all of your cities of them).

It would be much easier if the BC team had used Kingdoms, cause the AI already sucks and ussually loses within 1 minute against the Mongols.

It would have been much harder for us to port things over in medias res.

Well ok I understand but can´t u limit the Mongols a slight bit? Cause ussually u have to fight at least 3 armies at the same time and like I said u can't trust the AI to control one or more of your armies.

[Kjertesvein]

Kwaz. 1213:

ooookey.... I have taken a kypchak castle(west from the village in the north) and I wonder if I shold just move my entire Empire there and start from scratch...

Were is the best place to settle down as a plan B? since all my army is scattered across the map with many merc, all my generals and family members is corrupt in every way and the only ally I got is the georgians. 24 000 and decreasing.

I think there is a good chance my Empire will get raped, but my where? where do they travel etc? south east? west?

[born2dive67]

I have seen them go many places
wish you luck

Why not tone them done by yourself just go into the broken_cresent/data/world/campaign/imperial_campaign then from there go into the campaign_script.txt search for THE MONGOL INVASIONS then scroll done find where the armies start then start deleting the armies, not the generals bodyguard though, you will have to start a new campaign in order for it to take affect.
