I'm playing the Mongol campaign as the Hojo (expert level). Here's what I've found...
After the Mongol took 1/2 of Kyushu and two of the western provinces of Honshu, I pretty much stopped their progress. I got my daimyo and generals worth a damn over there, whipped the rebels into line, and began picking off their lower ranking generals with ninja.
I then began rolling the Horde back with ashi crossbowman backed up by high honor archers in turn backed up by Yari Samurai. It only took about 8 years, but they were about to get kicked off Honshu and pushed into the northern provinces of Kyushu...
Then what happens? The Mongols land north of Kyoto...
Just how far can they land? A quick look at the map shows that they would have had to have sailed about 200 (make that 400 - checked a better map) nautical miles across the Japan Sea. I hadn't realized the Mongols were such mariners.
Needless to say, the tide of the battle sure has turned.
