I pinned the Khan, once, and not in the fraternity sororiety way, either. I chased him through four provinces with my throw away army (a group of spears and archers and swords and junk that was all outmoded; I combined all of them together and sailed them into Georgia, while my new modern armies kicked it back in old Snorri-land. All those hard-bitten mean-ass crotchety old generals, all sitting around, madder than hell that they're being phased out, and I drop them into Georgia... on a whim. The Khan runs like a squealing pig, so I naturally chase him). After taking the fourth province, I manage to get the guy into battle. I've got 6 longbow troops, each trained in close combat longbow take-downs and other longbow special forces tactics that flew in on an aging Russian Tupolov, and they're specifically tasked with one thing: Put an arrow through the Khan's neck.
They succeeded, they did.
I expected the whole khanate to collapse in dust, but they guy had spawned an heir.
