Question about Timurids/Mongol appearing

[Quercia]

Greetings,

I'm playing the Early Era as Templar Knights on VH/VH, and I would like to know when the Timurids/Mongols show up around the corner. So are they even coming at all? As most people say these two factions are the most annoying to face, I really look forward to battling them. Need some additional challenge

Cheers,

Not positive but I believe the Mongols come around 1215 and the Timirids I think were removed.

The mongols show up, but unless you are a faction in their "sphere of influence", such as the Kwarz or Turks, do not expect anything out of them. They are the epitome of underachievers. If you are able to peer into their area, you'll see stack upon stack of huge armies that could carve their way through anyone. Problem is they just wander up and down a lonely road on the eastern edge of the map. You can grow old waiting for them. I've heard that the unofficial 6.2 patch features aggressive mongols. The Timurids do not appear, simply because their faction slot was sacrificed for a faction that would appear for more turns in a given game.

So have the Timurids been totally scrapped from Stainless Steel? Or do they appear in Late Era campaigning?

6.2 is the official patch. And yes, mongols in 6.2 a much more agressive.

yep. go play as cuman.. in constant war on every side and one of weakest units in game.. , nowhere near easy but best fun i had in long time.. well thats until mongols apeared.. and kwaz was just small fraction of my problems since then >_< , and my western borders reached poland.. which at my time was controling 1/3 of europe >_< and obviously they went into war within 3 turns , everyone hates cumans..

i think they could use abuff or two, with theirs unit stats, fighting mongols out in open is hard as any race, but having weakest infantry and certainly lacking cavalry , compared for kwaz for example.. damn you nobles
fighting mongols is pain in the ass :X

best battle so far i had was sieging novgorod castle with theirs king in there.. and he had like maxed stats.. + 3 melee infantrys 2/3 tier or so

was like 1550~ vs 480~ or so.. i lost over thousand men in that fight , those infantries just slaugthered my poor t1/t2 units.. which stood no chance, but that was just insane.. king stats must gave them huge boost
