Introduction

FN GOLDEN HORDE.gif

The Golden Horde appear abruptly from the east in the year 1231, usually disrupting all eastern factions. They come with powerful forces, comprised largely of unique units. Their faction colour is gold.

The Horde will appear, in a similar fashion as a faction reemergence, usually in the provinces of Khazar, Georgia, and Volga-Bulgaria. Tests have shown that having large troop concentrations in these provinces in the year 1230 will increase the size of the Horde.

The Golden Horde arrive during the High period, and start a Late period campaign with many provinces. They are unplayable, but the Late campaign can be modded to allow the player to select them. Changing the line in the startpos file Late.txt from:
SetActiveFaction:: FN_GOLDEN_HORDE		FT_MINOR
to:
SetActiveFaction:: FN_GOLDEN_HORDE		FT_MAJOR
will make them playable.
