2) Russian (all of Russia except the part owned by the Byz)
3) Egyprian (Armenia, Syria, Edessa and their normal homeland)

Even though the Horde has a tendency to be drawn to my lands just like by a magnet, I can hope that the Horde will have lost a great deal of its edge before we share a border (shortest routes would be Khazar, Kiev, Volosomething or Lithuania followed by Poland or Prussia) . Siege battles and rebellions should take their toll ...

Producing harbs and arbs in number juste in case since 1205 so I should be fine (but it could be quite time consuming to deal with them since I never auto-calc a battle - I understand that it is pointless against the Horde anyway) ...

Could invade Kahzar myself and stop it when it shows up but I am not up for another three-hour battle (did it a few weeks ago as the Polish and it was so boring)... I say let the AI factions deal with that sh...t !!!
