I actually like meeting the Golden Horde.
Last night I had an amazing battle against them![]()
There were swarms of Mongel heavy horse, horse archers and infantry that attacked my forces (the Danes) who were defending on a small, wooded hill.
This battle lasted three hours![]()
From the start it was a desperate struggle, with the outcome often hanging in the balance.
I used heavy infantry/pikemen in the front ranks, with a mixture of archers/crossbow in the rear. Many of these were mercenary troops. I had no cavalry.
The Mongels pulled some devastating tactics on me (flanking, getting in behind, feinting attack, then withdrawing, etc, etc).
In the end I won the battle; the Mongels withdrew; and needless to say, I was exhausted.![]()
The battlefield was a sight to behold - it was truly an epic battle.
These desperate defence type battles are a great deal of fun.
But the Golden Horde is not done yet - they still have countless warriors ready to swarm across the barren wastelands. . .
So I know that many more battles will still be fought.
Even though RTW has come out; I just can't see MTW ever being sidelined. It is just too much fun and too varied a game.
Cheers!
