Simply put, picking off the head of the Horde (or any AI faction for that matter) is easy and not much of a challenge, especially since you already control the map. It can be fun as a diversion but I wouldn't classify this thread ...smart way to deal with the Mongols A MUST READ. Next time you use this smart way why not load up the likely invasion provinces with 30-40K troops as this always ensures an equal or greater Mongol invasion. Imagine the glory of bribing even more rebels when the game is nearly over anyway.

End of attention span for this thread.
Well that's how it went:
I was constantly producing emissaries in a province and had one assassin killing them.
MY OWN EMISSARIES
That's the secretAnd that's how he gained valour in quite a short time.He didn't have to move around chasing enemy emissaries.Nor did he have to cross enemy border forts.

And the other more amazing strategy that I used(always in my opinion) was producing assassins at several provinces and having them killed by trying to kill my own commanders
In that way several of them eventually gained the HIGH SECURITY v/v which gives +3 valour,-3 acumen.That's how I had many commanders of mine with extraordinary valourLike 59 Viking Landsmenn with 19 valour on the Battlefield
