How stacked are YOUR Mongolians?

I thought they'd be a stupid horde prancing around..I was wrong. https://img234.imageshack.us/my.php?...olialolii3.jpg

I played a campaign as the Turks and had to deal with them..... boy there's a lot of stacks....

I am playing as the turks now, I was strong and they seemed to have thought it would be easier to attack Hungary. They were right, Hungary is getting their butts wooped and even declared war on me for whatever reason.

So lucky for me they did not go south but directly west.

After all, they did create an Empire larger than Rome in less than 50 years. Historically accurate I guess. Can't wait to play as the Russians and desperately try to outlast the Mognols and wait until the drunks take over, tehehe.

It might have been just the overall strength of your empire, but did you also do anything special to reinforce your frontier like build forts or use blocking armies? When playing the Sassanids in RTW/BI, I remember I was able to steer the Horde away to attack a weaker faction, by placing a few forts at the mountain passes, and keeping my frontier provinces fairly well reinforced with troops.

Does anyone know when the Timurids arrive?I heard they will be a good macht for the Mongols

Playing the ERE in BI, I built forts at the Danube river crossings. The Vandals avoided me and went elsewhere. After the Vandals pushed the Goths off their lands, they avoided me as well. The Huns, on the other hand, didn't like being herded. I had to kill all 9 stacks of their troops in the end.

Timurids are late 1300s, historically. I think Timur took over in 1369 or thereabouts, and it was over the next 35-40 years he systematically carved out his territory.

I had the castle near to their spawn point filled to the brim and troops on the way. I was also the strongest nation to the time, still am. Hungary is still meddling with them, lovely! ^^

My Mongols are just sitting too, bunched up together like an overweight lunchladies panties on a hot summer day. Hope this is fixed in the patch.
