i think they look fine...is it the exact image of what you would think on hearing the words mongol warrior?

no

but hearing the word "samurai" makes people conjur up images of the few elite warriors who dressed in the best armor available

maybe a more ethnic dress would be best, but this isnt for me to argue. they have simple available helms o9f the time, simple armor of the time and are pretty good looking, besides everyones various visions of what they would want the mongol to look like is an issue that could never be satisfied.

if they were rendered to all look the same, similar to previous tw games i would agree that more should be done to add an ethnic flavor to the unit. with the units looking pretty much different per individual...i thing the random armor commonly available in the times is a better fit

makes it more accurate to the hodge podge gear the classic "everyman" warrior would have worn

this is just my opinion, i respect the opinion of those who would like more detail to the units, yet i think it is a big upgrade in graphics and detail and looks pretty good...if the gameplay gets the same treatment i'll be a very happy man
