Thats the only times i dislike HAs - their attack is too low and such precious prisoner targets escape them. Alans on the other hand are great for the exact same reason - no prisoners no matter what their BGs are escape them, Sultans, Khaliffas, Popes, HREmperors, Kings all are caught in their mighty net

In fact Alans are slightly overpowered as a unit and if they werent so sparsingly available id be tempted to stat them down.

However its like the Alans and the Almughavars that mercenary units should have been - exclusive, worth it, available from few provinces. In this way they would add flavor for the player without being disavdantageous for the AI.

We are in danger of getting into another "let's redesign the game" thread here. Yes the game has a lot of flaws and many of these are in the east of the map: Tons of rebels, imbalanced factions, many units assigned to the wrong factions etc, but the end of the day unless you mod the game there's no option except to live with it.

Back to the topic at hand though. I will start recruting some Steppe Cavalry for chasing down routers once I've finished with the Horde.

It looks good.

Perhaps tech up to JHI to give a hand with the Mongols if the Byzs have left a master spear maker in Const.?

The Byzantine have left me with a "spearmaker"... and the best unit I can train in Constantinople is TH...

I'm glad to see that you dealt with that Kataphraktoi Prince, I hate fighting those dudes. I had to deal with a 9-valour Byzantine King once and the damn thing just wouldn't die,he seemed to be able to crush everything in his path..
