-- no mods to make the Mongols realistic, in-universe? They're TOO TOUGH!

[KuriousJorj]

So recently returned again to MTW2... Playing as HRE, on Medium. Having a blast. Ruling Europe.

Then the friggen Mongols invade Russia. And I'm holding Kiev. Had 3-4 fully upgraded, top-tier mixed unit stacks waiting for them. (and lots more en route)

For crissakes!!!

My hardened steel blades can't penetrate their leather armor.
Their wooden arrows shatter my plate steel armor.
Their Calvary slam straight into fully upgraded Pike militia w/o a scratch.
Every one of their units fights to the very last man.

ENOUGH! I can't take it anymore! I've beaten 4-5 of their stacks, but they got at least 6 more. THIS IS NOT ENJOYABLE!


Every stack of theirs I beat takes at least 1/2 of mine. (I already had 52 provinces, so just gave up, sacked Rome, and 'won' the game)

I've looked and cannot find a single mod anywhere making the Mongols more realistic (ie, not invulnerable supermen)

Help?
