[M2TW AAR] The Mongol Invasion !

[Killerbee]

Here's a small AAR i've been doing on a very small mod o' mine The mod makes the Mongols playable , adds some units/regions , .. just everything to make the mongolian campaign exciting

Here goes :

Chapter 1 : A choice

When playing as mongols , you get a choice at the beginning of the game - become raiders of farmers .. While both campaigns are nice , i prefer them raiders Also for AAr purpose i think it's better to be raiders

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Because we decided to become raiders , the great Khan sends some stacks , although it's the last thing he'll do (as he dies the next turn -_-")

Stacks on the road ! While my heir goes to Kazan to crush the rebellions , another stack , lead by some general , lays siege to Bulgar (it's also a mission , so a money bonus is near hand ! )

Luckily , we find a new city somewhere to the south , and immediatly besiege it :

We attack Bulgar ! While the rams are brought to the walls , our archers start warming themselves up

Fire literally .. !

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Needless to say the city is mine now

Anyway, while one of the remaining stacks heads north , another one finds a new city to be plundered

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

By now , we had already captured like 3 cities , and the northern stack found -and captured- another city . However , it looks like they missed one on their way :

After these cities , i captured another 3 cities (including Moscow) , who surrendered without a fight ! Sacked them though , like i'd spare them Anyway , it resulted in me being the largest empire in the world !

[amadee]

Looks promising. By the way, what's the name of that mod?

[PorknBeans]

It looks cool, and playing as the Mongols is different and fresh. More battle pics would be nice.

Chapter 2 : The battle for Novgorod

An addition to my mod : Raider-Mongols can build raiding buildings , who decrease population hapiness but spawn 1 unit of Raiders (a light infantry troop) each turn .

Meanwhile , a Russian general nears Moscow . i prepare a battle , but it was fals alarm . He just heads to novgorod :

Wouldn't it be easier to do a hotseat game and wait for the Mongols to spawn then play as them?

Good AAR nonetheless!

+REP (when I can)

[Magnificent One]

Nice AAR! When that mod is finished,will you release it? I can't find any decent Mongols mods.

BTW,have you modded faction colours so they have no borders?

Well i'm sure there's a way to get Kingdoms installed . try laucnhing it as administrator , turn UAC off , launch the installer/game with XP compatability .. Just try lots of things .. And if many people want , i'll make an MTW2 version
