Wrath of the Khan 2: RECRUITMENT and rules discussion

[Ashurnasirpal II]

I'm going by a long shot here but why don't we divide the world into eastern and western factions (Say Italy, France, England, Spain, Denmark, HRE is West, the rest is East) and have the Mongol capture a certain amount of territory and capture/sack 1 eastern and 1 western capital from players (not AI). That would bring the confrontation both east and west whichever route the Mongols take without going into specifics and allowing phonics more freedom to plan his invasion. It could also help create tensions between the other factions trying to push the mongols into one direction or another.

Or maybe this is unrealistic... I don't really know.
