And larger numbers. Especially is you start in Early, by 1230 the continent is usually developed to the point that Mongol invasion falls flat on its nose within 30 years at the most. And that's *without* player's interference.

Thus, I say that if you begin the game in 1087, Mongols should have 3 times as many troops, and the Khan should arrive with at least two mature heirs from the get-go.

As for the troop roster, they are begging for heavy infantry. As they stand right now, they are just a fodder for the Arbalest/Halberd combo. Bridge or no bridge, they still die in droves. I say, Mongols need a toned down version of JHI, maybe something similar to Billmen or Swiss Halbs. Fast on their feet and not too heavily armored. At least, this way they'll have something to throw against the Arbalest line (since MHC will get mauled by anticav).

Anyhow, that's my opinion.
