And yet another question, hopefully some more folks will jump in and start responding to my questions...

If the Mongols are announced as showing up (as they have in both of my current campaigns), should I anticipate them forming alliances with the likes of the Byzantines and the Moors?

I've yet to directly run into this Mongol horde, so I'm just trying to get a gauge of just how big an issue this is likely to become. As the Moors are in the south of my position and I'd like to know if they are going to stay peaceful or instead turn this into a more united front against the Catholics, and of course I'm a tad worried about the Byzantine Empire because they are the largest threat militarily and size wise to myself.
