Sorry to bump a 2 year old thread but,

Back in vanilla MTW times they were pitiful - just two stacks of units, and no more than 16 MHA units.
What??? I distinctly remember a moment back when I first got vanilla MTW (perhaps even unpatched) where I played the Turks, knew nothing about the Horde, and was dismayed by the appearance of about fifteen stacks of high quality Mongol troops right at my doorstep! So could someone please elaborate on this comment?

On a related note, I have hated the Horde ever since. Epic battles that take many hours are not my style, nor is being at the disposal of a retarded giant, who clearly has the power to tear me apart, but fails to follow through due to having the intellect of a drooling braindead cretin.

So is there a quick way to reduce the number of forces they bring? I would like to be able to limit it to 4-6 stacks with the standard composition.
