They fought with mongols? Are you joking? They never even touched a single mongol warrior. When Poland needed help to protect christians only templars arrived and czech army was coming as reinforcements to merge huge army (they didn't come in time).

So you can see polish ruler gave them a territory to protect, when they will destroy aggressive prussian tribe (Poland didn't have enough soldiers to defend from many sides). This was "help" but it changed into worse situation, because Teutonic order falsified many documents (right to territories) and attacked official christian allies. For me there were nothing more than thief knights.

Hey man, I dont know how you could carry a grudge over events that happened 600 years ago, but I just thought they'd be a cool faction considering their location, possible "units" that could be created, and the role they played in the geopolitics of the region.

As for whether Teutonics ever fought Mongols, that seems to be disputed.
