Mongol invasion?

**Darkpriest667** · April 12, 2009, 12:34 AM

Anyone know what turn the mongols invade..

The reason i ask is we are in a hotseat game and since we are and no one on these boards knows how to enable faction announcements since we are saving at the password signin screen we have no idea whats going on in our empires...

usually this isnt a big deal... but im playing turkey and it would really screw me if 10 mongol armies suddenly showed up out of nowhere... anyone got an idea of what turn they show up? maybe 100-105 was my thoughts..

Also if any of you know what i need to change and the other 2 guys need to change to enable all the faction events that would be nice...

Sombody will come along with the scripting code range, but I seem to recall from my games that about T60 on the early side and maybe as late as T80. This would be for the first wave. Since you are playing the Turks, a spy north and south of the Caspian Sea might be in order about T55 in any case. Good luck. Remember, you at least know they are coming -- the poor blokes back then were just taken by surprise.

the first stacks come between turn 64-72.
more come at 2-4 turns after the first stack

The last stacks come about 1270 (turn 95).

Playing As The Turks, if you have Antioch be prepared they will come for that city. have a lot of Archers one catacplut and Spearman to protect that city

just get some jassinary infantry and hold them up at a choke point. i suggest you get 5 jassinary and as many archers with 3 caverly. it should do the job

I will say no to parts of your suggestions.

Here is what your armiy should be composed of:

2 Catapults
1 General
2 Nanaffut
7 Saracen Militia
8 Jannissary Archers

The reason why in a siege Cavalery ain't your best unit, you can also retrain them
which you can't with JHCatapults to put in you City Center
JA to lay stakes down at the gates and in the main roads gleading to your City Center
Saracen Militia for 3 reasons:

1- The are free of upkeep, are alos less expensive
2- They have better defense stats then JH
3- They have a bit less attack the JH but for the price and because Saracen are better in defense and you are defending they are better suited and they won't ruin your economy

That is exactly how I handle those bastards. A perfect strategy indeed. I usually have 2 units of catapults, lots of spears and archers.

thx for the Rep have one back.

I forgot to explain what I do with the Nanafuts, I place them on top of the gate and let them throw their little bombs on the units that are bottlenecked in the gates

Hmm.. I tried doing that once in vanilla game, but I think it didn't work. The animation and everything showed, but those bombs just didn't fly. Haven't tried this with a mod though.
