My case for Russia...

@Doug- I have to start my campaign over again today. I had a wind storm around my house here in Washington, and while I had my campaign paused upstairs I had a power flicker. Currupted my autosave file, and I hadn't manually saved it yet.

Ouch. My condolences.

Thankfully the surge protector kept my computer from getting fried.

Do you want to post Campaign updates in this thread?

I'm going to go smoke and then fire her up again, so I'll see you in a bit.

There is definitely a problem with the Mongols.

I know the Mongols work; because I encountered a stack of them north of Tblisi when I was playing the Egyptians. But twice now, playing the Russians, I get messages that the Horde has arrived and has even invaded my lands - no Horde. Both times I owned both Sarkel and Bulgar territories, and was actively looking for them. Thinking they might have gone south and ended up just in Persia, I sent diplomats down there too. No Horde. I already had merchants sitting on the silk spots by Baghdad; so they didn't come by there. I searched all through the Caucasus. No Horde. The Egyptian areas further SW of Baghdad also no Horde. Looking at the diplomacy screens, not one faction showed as at war with the Horde, despite getting several messages that they'd arrived and were invading. There was no Horde at all. I find it hard to believe that they were wiped out in just a few turns and didn't bother to invade the steppes at all.

This really cuts into my enjoyment of playing the Russians. I was expecting something huge like in the original M:TW.

The Mongols aren't actually on the map until you get an FMV about them. The text pop-up you get means nothing, ignore it. The FMV is when the Horde actually arrives.

Yes, I know. As I said, I recieved mutliple faction messages about them not just invading, which came first, but about them invading my territory. They never showed.
