Just been playing a game as Byzantium. The Mongols invaded near Baghdad, came over to Antioch for a base, took Adana off me, so I countered, retook Adana and then Antioch... and then suddenly they all ran away... "Mongol horde loses its base and relocates" according to the card that flashed up.
So then they ran off to Jerusalem, took that off HRE and sat their 8 stacks around that for about 40 turns, until I took Acre, Damascus and Gaza, whereupon they went nuts and attacked in all directions.
Then later in the same game I got the Timurids come in by Sarkel and take Kiev. I was as far north as Iasi, so fine I thought, let them hang out there and send a few stacks over for me to beat up.
But next thing i knew they lost Kiev to a rebellion, they did the "Timurid horde relocates" thing, and came charging about three moves worth right over to Bucharest. That took a lot of troops to deal with.
I've been playing MTW2 a lot, but this is the first time I saw this relocate thing, and in this game its happening all the time - well, not much longer as I had to kill the b*stards.
