Kindoms: They came, they saw, they stood still

Playing crusaders campaign vh/vh as byzantium, the monguls have arrived enmasse which is normally a nice little spanner in the works for various factions, but instead of running amok & laying waste all before them they're standing about on the edge of the map doing nothing. Anyone else seen this, or should I just reload my last save game & hope it kick starts them into action?

Happened to me too a couple of times. Some times they stand on the edge for a while then suddenly starts to move. Once they didn´t move for over 10 turns so I attacked them which seems to activate them.

Yes, the dreaded Mongol shuffle...not fixed in Kingdoms still, and I prefer to wipe them out in the Arabian sands before they start pumping out 0 upkeep armies and khan's guards.

haha, same to me as well.

i wish i can "encourage" them to attack... anywhere, anyplace.

hard to wipe them out when the dread Mongol shuffle has 6 stacks of gold/silver chevrons units cluster together.

I got the message that mongols are near bagdad, but never saw them. have you come across crusading venice around constantinople? they wandered around constantinople for 6 turns and didn't do a thing, till i finally got tired of them and attacked their 3 stacks and sent them packing.
