I am having problems getting the Mongols to attack. I have built forts at choke points and river crossings around Antioch and filled them with low grade units. The Mongols have been wandering back and forth for about 50 years and finally attacked one of the forts. They won! Well, they took the fort but lost 3 generals and over 1275 of their best troops and I lost 1203 low level men and 1 mortar. (It looked like a fireworks display over the fort's center as the thousands of flaming Mongol arrows descended upon my vailant Scots.) The next turn I attacked the 350 men that they had left in the fort with no reinforcements because the rest of the horde wandered back over to Edessa to besiege another fort. The Mongols lost all their men and I lost about 150 (I used a culverin and mortar to pound them and had some heavy pike militia with single chevrons, a few feudal knights, and a general.) The Portugese were much more difficult; I had to use top qualtity units to defeat them.
