mongol threat unthreatening

**kensai_loki** · July 25, 2008, 04:17 AM

on turk campaign vh/vh is 1247

mongols are having diarrhea around samarqand thus not not moving at all.
was very disappointed with mongols inactivity. i heard that the mongols were rampaging hordes in BC. not happening for me. anyone else experience this?

funny thing is that i happenend to accidentally press end turn after a new turn without having made any moves. may the malmuks pee in their graves.
they actually moved! was so happy that their diarrhea epidemic was over. that teach them to drink their horses blood. their diarrhea episode took so long that some of their generals are about to die of old age.

ok so i load my game, made my moves and end turn. and the the mongols has their backsides stuck to the toilet bowls. no movement again. tried end turn without moving and they move again. whats wrong????? HELP!

apparently they only move if i dont make any moves? WTF???

i even launch a expedition to take kabul and ghazni so i can fight them. i'm gonna launch a jihad to samarqand. if that doesnt help im gonna give them contested cities so other factions will attack them forcing them to move. anyone knows how to give a city to a horde? and any innovative ways to make them move will be much appreciated.

lastly, i own kabul and ghazni. being very far away from my natural homelands i understad theres some recruitment restrictions. very realistic and challenging guys

. but thing is i cant find a city that can build siege machinery there. are there no cities or castles around modern day afganistan and pakistan that can build siege engines? i need to refit my engines from casualties. is there a file in the BC directory i can refer to?

thanks for reading. help and suggestions appreciated.

Happened to me several times. When it did my spies quickly revealed the Khwarezm Shah to have max dread and max authority.

Mongols see that as well and don't bother with him as he is too politically stable to attack.

I solved the problem by assassinating the Shah

I solved the problem by making Mongols declare war vs Khwarez. It cost me Bagdad, Samara and Waist... and i got them back same turn

ok but the current status of the kwaz shah right now is actually unstable. the shah is getting whacked from the left by the kypchak and actually they both have massive armies duelling over kiva. for around ten turns. massive. not any has gain any upper hand.

:hmmm:Strange, the Mongols should be all over them then. Start assassinating Generals then and see what it does.

I did something similar on my Abassid campaign. Don't worry,
just provoke them and they will come.

heck if anyone wants to help me out, pm me and i'll let u upload my save game. furthermore i read somewhere that the BC guys wiped out karakorum and siwa i think. makes them unreachable. but i have them in my map still and im using 1.5 i think. is there a patch i missed out?

If nothing is working, you attack them first. For some reason sometimes
it feels that they are ignoring you. But its just temporary, start assassinating their generals and send your diplomat asking for money and if they refuse you will declare war. Just keep up the pressure and they will come.

CHEERS

Yeah, Mongol moves very slowly, sometimes aimlessly. But they'll attack anyone who gets near them!!

I was Great Seljuks and was overjoyed to see the Mongols attacking the Shahdom, so I arranged for an aliance between us two. Soon the Mongols took Samarkand, Burkarra, and Urgench; only to lose them the next turn to rebels by not garrisoning. They have 10 stacks besieging Merv so I figured that I might as well join the fight, and sent one of my stacks there. Next turn they lifted the siege and attacked my poor faction leader....with 10stacks. Had to reload...
