just found a new way to kill mongols.
1st play as moors.
2nd have the mongols attack your city with a full stack in northern europe before you even realise that they are in these parts.
1 put my 2 archer units on walls. 2 spear units on walls. my 3rd and last merc spearman well back from gate but facing it (no artillary thank god) on guard mode. also have 3 units of camel gunners. one behind spears and back a way and one to left.
general in reserve.
seige tower as per leaves one mongol unit routed.
everyone else charge through the front gate. attack spears. gunners on fire at will moment they pass through the gate. never seen mongols rout like that. some units routed three times or more and then returned.
was just funny watching them wavering and refusing to approach that one spearman unit which survived the whole battle.
i read a thread about how camel gunners rock and they were right. but this right??
still the mongols are so aggresive i think my world will be better if they are removed from the map.
now where can i get more camels....ahh citadels all over northern europe all seem to be able to make them. special cold resistant camels it seems.
