In Broken Crescent 1.05 the Mongols unit stats had not been changed from the vanilla stats and were massively higher across the board than the other factions, which had been scaled down in proportion to each other - hence they were near-impossible to kill on the battle map or in autoresolve and you could leave them in the open knowing it would take several enemy stacks to make a dent on one stack of yours. In SS the Mongols have been modified along with the rest of the factions so that they are tough but not superhuman.

Movement rate is another reason as you rightly point out and also the rules we have in this game restricting spies and the use of siege weapons.

All this means I have had to proceed slowly and with caution.

Let me know if you need the pw cleared, I can't recall if I have already done this last turn or whether he passed it on to you guys in private.

The Mongol-Egyptian alliance has been fairly long planned, although only firmly rooted whe I realized SS's mongols aren't quite as overwhelming as BC's. Figured they could use an ally.

I had forgotten I'd allied in game with the Turks and it threw me off a bit. I was certain my cancelling the alliance and moving troops towards Caesara would be noticed.
