Making the Golden Horde do someting?

[midget_roxx]

Something that always bothered me in SS was that the "terrifying mongol hordes" from the east don't really materialise in SS. I was wondering maybe if I buffed their stats by say double would they perhaps become this terrifying force that sweeps across into Europe?

If I did increase their stats how would I go about doing this?

You are kidding, right? Do the mongols ever stop? Mongolian Madness and last but not least Mongols SS 6.3 very overpowered

[ly0_ly0]

They steamroll europe the way they are.WHy would you want them more powerfull ?

@midget_roxx
You should always mention the version you are playing 6.1, 6.3 etc etc.

[Lugiahua]

funny...in my two games
They were either beaten by Romans or Jerusalem..
Never encounter them in combat

[bɑne]

The mongols have been nerfed in the fixes due to the player reactions. Playing on lower difficulties will lessen their impact. Then again I'm not sure if your games are anomalies as Jerusalem is not known to "outperform".

If you want a terrifying Mongol invasion and you're using 6.3 then you've got to use Meneth's 'mongol horde' submod. Its amazing! It makes them worthy of the video.
It does only work for late era though.

lol, Mongols underpowered? I usualy leave my campaign when it becomes a horse archer armageddon. I just don't find it fun to play 100 battles against mongolian full stacks every turn.

Same here. I never fought them. Usually they start a war with the Khwarezmian empire, take two or three cities, but then are all killed by the khwarezmians. I was so excited about fighting them in Europe, but they didnt even get to Russia

I suggest you try SS6.3

They are an absolute juggernaught.

[Lugiahua]

well, I'm playing 6.3 with fixes, probably that's the reason.

[DeliCiousTZM]

Mongols dont lack troops but alot of times they will hang back with 20 stacks i wish they could just rush towards rome or something ^^

[Gogolometro]

In all my campaigns they are at least to Cesarea, Trepizond, Kiev and Moskow. I play SS 6.3, savage AI, VH/VH with Latin Empire submod.

[nhinhonhinho]

Mongol!? They crush anything on their way. Just give them some time and you will see them land in London and sack Granada!

[merocaine]

I'm at 1350 in a HRE late campaign, fatimids have now rolled the Mongols back to the Persian border.
Norgovord stopped them in the north.
Rebellions are hollowing out the hordes heartlands in the east.

If you ask me the Fatimids are the real horde, those guys are unstoppable...

With the mod 2TPY and playing with HRE. I have to stop the fkng horde and stablize the game because they have too much power, they have a really adventage over other faction, because you have to wait a double for new era units

Q: Did the latest fixes to the 6.3 comilation/compendium fix the Mongol sub-mod glitch causeing CTDs when using in conjunction with LL&P?

Thanks in advance... I've yet to run into the Mongols, and wanted to use the sub-mod for a little flavor, but didn't want to CTD again.

Sorry, why aren't you asking that in the compilation topic? MH is removed afaik, see the compilation topic for details and ask there if you can't find the answer.

I use 4TPY...and Romans are the real horde, controls from Milan to Baku, and all Muslims were crushed by them.

hi, my first post , I like talk about mongols, I think they are a very interesting part of medieval total war. I have played SS 6.0 and 6.1 as european factions and I always go east to find mongols, but in SS 6.1 and 6.0 they have severe dificulty to destroy kharezm, the fight is very long and they never appear in Europe. To fight them... I think that in medieval total war ( and in reality too) the strength of mongols are cavalry and archers, they don t like close combat against armoured knights so.... fight them in short spaces... citadels are very good .

the problem is to go on the offensive... I recomend a lot of cavalry and muskets....

In medieval 2 without mods in very hard dif I eliminate mongols with .... ENGLAND, I founded my own Kingdom of Heaven
