Fair enough, (and I have also complained to people about how limited Mongol troops are) but the fact is they never fielded anything like this at all, even if you allow them conscipted Chinese and Korean troops (which they only used in eastern theatres). Mongols only really fielded foot troops when they ran out of horses or used civilians to soak up arrow fire, and I don't know about allowing them naptha throwers either (although they did get quite inventive with explosives once they'd invaded China). I know army balance is important, but so is historical accuracy (to an extent, and this would be stretching it beyond what I think is reasonable for a historical game).
I think their command abilities and morale should be higher instead. They turn up with 2-3 star generals most times, which is rubbish. They won by tactics and ferocity, not technological achievement.
I agree totally with you that there aren't enough of them in the initial Horde, should be twice as many. One they arrive they can start fielding stuff from captured territories perhaps.
