is mongol any good?

[grunt123]

just wondering ... i just got mongol invasion event, ... should i fear them???

[ImKyleJames]

i'd only fear the mongols with 10 command stars and dread skulls and full stacks of unstoppable warriors sure to destroy most if not all of your empire. should be in the low teens.

it's not much to worry about.

Depends what faction you are. They usually never make it past Kiev or the Holy Lands if they Spawn in the south..so depends on the faction.

I guess it depends who you are. If you are no where ner them its not really a problem, I for one have never seem them get into Europe with a decent invasion force. Maybe its just me though.

*edit ha y2day beat me to it

[ImKyleJames]

ya, if you're next door.. hehe.

[grunt123]

i'm playing Templar atm, i conquered most of holy lands, most of turkey. i sent out multiple spies hoping to locate mongol forces, but i can't find them ... damn

[ImKyleJames]

Quit, Restart Campaign as Norway.

[-Aquila-]

keep it up Grunt, find those dirty mongols and do some pwning!
Templars ftw!!!

[murph]

In my game they have taken mashad or whatever it's called and have spent the last 100 years doing nothing. They just sit in their territory and do nothing. BS :/

[Chimander]

Yeah, you'll need to deal with the Mongols. Unless they spawned in the north. If so, the Cumans will have some fun.

And I hate how they don't do anything. Back in Vanilla, some epic invasions took place =\

[RomaVictor6969]

yea ill give that for the vanilla game the mongols would usually kick major ass taking almost all of the holy land now that was fun to stop.

[Vasquez]

The Mongs were wiped out in my Late Era camp less than 20 years after they appeared. No idea how it happened.

[grunt123]

mongol isn't really doing anything in my game. This is a real dissappointment. I expected them to conquer Cuman at least, but 5-8 stacks of mongol army are just wandering around in the eastern region of the map. (not even taking a city)

Btw, i noticed that mongol units are mostly some variations of archer unit type, ... but, none of them has 'Effective against armor' trait. Isn't arrow attack kinda useless against armored units?

In reality their lack of anti armor weapon stoped them from conquering Europe also, so I don't think this is mistake. But if you use RAJ made by Chimaeria mongol archers'd pwn everything armored and unarmored on the battle map.

Having their leader die, didn't help either.
The mongols generaly offset they lack of "anti armour" by good strategy. Not mutch a heavy armoured knight can do when he meets 2 mongols riding at him with a rope between them.

Edit: Anyway, sadly, the mongols are way to inactive for my taste in SS. I absolutely loved the hordes in RTW:BI (with mods) that could take over half the world in 100 turns.

except this is a game

eh you're joking right? maybe you should read a little about how far they got and how they crushed nations and why they retreated. Because of lack of anti armor weapon, lol.....k maybe also because they ran out of yogurt too.

Back on topic, they certainly don't do much, those annoying timurids do far more damage, mainly because of their gay elephants.

in reality they have the best design bow at the time. they all carry a wide rang of weapons suck as axe mace horse traps ect. their arrow are design to perice amor. provely not the tin cans that NE wears, but if face with them they can simply strap them with their hooks and will take them houres to get up.
it's because their khan die in battle in Cichuan that force them the retreat... then when kublia took power the mongol split up and lost it's grap over the west mongols....

[gewehr36]

In all of my campaigns they just attack the Kwarezmians and take a few cities and then just sit there.

[gracul]

in vanilla mongols pwned all the way because there was no real oppossition (the ai was a lot more stupid...) + there were a lot less regions to conquer.
