Two WAVES of Mongols with FOUR stacks EACH... This is the second WAVE.

Unless, oh gods, there are more than 2 waves... In which case, I'm gonna need a long hard drink before I get back to the game. Hehehe.

There is one more regular Mongol group with another 4 stacks coming. If you can not attack any of the stacks then put a suicide stack there to bring them out and then go after them before that last group comes.

When they are gone you only have to look forward to their big brothers with the elephants….they will have a total of 10 armies though they will not all be full stacks. They will come with the black death…which ever is worse…let me know.

First battle as Turks vs Mongols I had, was pure, SHOCK & AWE!. It was southwest of Baghdad, open desert, cavalry everywhere, arrows everywhere. This game can be really beautiful.

EDIT: Just noticed, some truly awesome sigs for E:TW can be found here. They're not only in the first post but also scattered throughout the thread.

@Mir
There are three waves of Mongols coming. So expect one more wave.

I'm sorry, I did mean waves.

3 is the magic number if I recall.

*glug glug glug glug* *hic* (Thud! Crash! Sounds of bottles breaking, table turned over and a body hitting the floor!)

Am gonna lock myself up in a small room in the cellar three stories underground and wait for the hordes to pass by. Hopefully they won't notice my little hole in the ground...

Alternatively, we could also meet them in open battle.

Oh well, saddle the chihuahuas again, my brave soldiers! Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more! Gule gule and all that sort of thing...

That's the problem when posting your campaign in a forum - you get to know everything in advance. When I played the Turks (my second campaign in total), I didn't know the Mongols were coming for me at all. I thought they'd go for Russia in any case. I was totally unprepared and had no idea more was coming.
But that was the most fun I ever had in MTW2...

SINAN, what do all these expressions under your name mean? Are these some Arab/Turkish military titles? Would be nice to have some translation or explanation...

**Shahed** · 11-27-2007, 10:19

Sure, this one Müşir means Marshal, Kaptan i derya means Admiral of the Fleet, and now I already forgot the one I used before.... Kapudan of the Army, I have'nt a clue what that means, probably like Marshal of the Army. It;s a title used in the Darth Mod.

And I agree it's much more fun if you don't know what's happening in the game. Made my first battle ever with the Mongols really awesome, I was'nt prepared at all.
