Timurid strategy if your playing England.

[phonicsmonkey]

My biggest problem with Mongols and Timurids is that with several stacks so close the battles get swamped with units and the frame rate goes to a crawl. This despite having a powerful recently built machine that plays Shogun 2 with all options maxed.

I have heard it said that this is because M2TW is not able to utilize multiple processor cores. So it uses just one of your cores which is obviously much less processing power than your machine has as a whole.
