Playing the Rebels!

[DukeofSerbia]

I played with rebels with .conan. cheat a couple of times. It was quite fun and I enyojed controlling Steppe cav (I trained some of them to valour 5 through battles) and Khazar Royal cav.
The center of my rebel state (played in Early) were Russian regions. I lead very successful campaign against the Poles and Hungarians on the west and Byz on the south. I prepared for the arrival of GH by training 30 assassins (hey, I know it's unfair, but that was the only way to keep my territories) and killed their khan. With new stacks of Mongol armies who went rebel I started expelling Byzantines from Minor Asia quickly (they remained on islands) and even gained one province from Turkish. On the western front I held Silesia strongly.
But, it seems Mongol Khan had a an under-aged heir who lead Mongol re-emmergence. Half of my armies joined the Mongols ( ) My power was greatly diminished and I was too disappointed to finish playing Rebels.

What to say...? Nice.
