Scary, scary Mongol horde

I'm still finishing a 2.0 Byzantine campaign. I'm guessing this is what is referred to as the 'late era stack frenzy'?

I toggle_fow'd about 5 years ago just to see how my neighbours were doing, and my jaw dropped. I've been keeping an eye on them, and it seems they're verrry slowly moving south (one space at a time). In 30 years or so, I'm screwed.

Also, I've really honed my diplomacy skills on this campaign. It's too expensive to really fight wars on several fronts in DLV, so I've 'enlisted' my allies help. Seige, plunder, and give away strategic points. The English, Germans, and Hungarians are now fighting off the Egyptians for me, and the Pope is holding his own against the Turks.

But the Mongols... yikes!

That's pretty typical of the Mongols, at least in my game. The problem is they usually gather up and then just sit there. It's more likely that they took the settlements they have before the "horde" arrived. They may have even had more settlements before the horde.

I know in one of my game the Mongols had about six settlements, then they horded and lost all but one to rebels.

Mongols are severely messed up in DLV...

Wow, amazing picture Nicollo! Scary...

I wonder if the mongols are doing the same in my Hungary campaign, Ive not heard from them since we allied in 1200 something. Probably they've gone back to the peaceful nomad life.

What's the command to turn off FOW btw, just toggle_fow?
