When the Mongols? (Medieval 2: Total War)
The blogs have been moved here from topic For RussiaThe game has two invasions of the Mongols and the Timurids. As became clear, they come randomly, in an arbitrary region on the right edge of the map, after about 70 rounds. First the Mongols and later Timurids significantly.
They say the invasion is cool.
The exact details are not known yet, here they and discuss.
...
Then moved and the new comments:
I have an 88 tour because the Mongols before me never came. It was reported that the invasion started, but apparently went to Jerusalem.
Began to play off the Mongols with Russian bikes. In General the pistol is dark, BYuT Aki Katyusha, but because the computer is stupid , and your and our equally. The arrows the Mongols attack as England - 8. But Russian archers - court - 10 !!!, and the Cossacks-Musketeers 17!!!. Not very clear what are the difficulties in battles with the Mughals?
And long distance and FORTS on ferries needs grimly to slow down the promotion.

Blog For Russia Гримзац1 said that the Mongols, not less than 5 full armies in the first wave with the units whom have three silver stripes and generals full of stars.
Tell me how the Mongols voices to make the company card and the silence of the goats the same thing with my Dad
Why the Mongols can't nmnat priests if the heretic to appear then get rid of it without a priest can this be fixed?
Russak1992,
you can cut a killer of heretics, I have to do. But of course a shame that the imams no!!!!!!
faith rasprostranyat some, but I try to be at peace with Egypt and the Turks they have imams though they could conquer (for Timur play), but XTO then there will be a Jihad to call generals((-:
Sell history textbook for 6th grade and math book for 2nd... will read, will bring together knowledge, and you will understand, when the Mongols...
Played for the Turks. the Mongol invasion began on 65-m to a course near Baghdad. A dozen armies in silver and generals in full zvezdanutye, ran them through the desert, and they are 60 moves reached the Mediterranean sea, losing my ambush 80% of the army and the last army drowned in the depths of the Mediterranean sea.
150-th move-the invasion of Timur. Again, ten armies, but now a lot of artillery and elephants, went through the North of the map( the invasion of the Timurids and Mongols are either from the South of the map ,or from the North. If Timurids from the South, Mongols from the North..)
The purpose of both invasions was listed Yerevan.
The main problem is that his generals and 10,000 soldiers. I chose the tactics of escape and surprise attacks with numerical superiority. However, to keep in the East 3 armies - a luxury when at war with all of Europe.
Began to play for Russia. the announcement (about the Mongols) was around 50 - 70 speeds. I began to collect the army and sent to the border. the army has 5 moves are, and the Mongols not. how so? but after waiting I received (95 or 96 speed) message: the Invasion of the Horde. I looked where it is -- near the edge of the map in the South East. until then I'm behind them all followed by diplomacy (this is where alliances, wars) and they immediately see these enemies as Turkey (later Egypt). they immediately climb to Jerusalem or Antioch(in my case). here I am waiting until I move, but a little afraid because I have been reading online that in this game they are just animals (and not weaker Timurids with their elephants and cannons)

Their strength in that army, they move in a tight, one-to-one. Very hard to attack 1 the army, as the rest are standing harnessed.
The main objectives of the East is Antioch, and Jerusalem (they always rush to them and the capital do).
The trick is that if you play for Russia, Turkey, Egypt or Byzantium, it is worth preparing for their invasion ahead of time - someone from the eastern country they will definitely "stuff".
The first time, playing for Russia, in advance put towers on the eastern borders, strengthened to the maximum, recruited troops as much as he could. Played from defense, in the fortress - to meet the Mongols in a clear field at an early stage of the development of Russia suicidal. Fortunately, AI is stupid and pret to the nearest fortress (Ryazan) and takes under siege. But just in case two detachments went near the horde of Mongols, watched where they would go. We went in the direction of Ryazan - there moved and detachments. One immediately planted in the fortress, stuffed to the top. Another squad (the same) kept close. When the Mongols took Ryazan under siege, let the second detachment close, but did not attack them, and made the foray besieged. Archers put on the walls, spearmen built inside at the central gate with a semicircle dense construction, Boyar children sent to the other gate. Then he made a foray by the Kazakhs, slammed him, and led his commander forward, struck and retreated. It worked - AI rushed after him. Hit from the flanks Kazakhs and again ran - in the fortress. The horde moved behind the runners - right into the gate... right on the spears. At the gate there was a congestion, which my archers methodically shot from the walls, while the magnificent Mongolian cavalry was sandwiched among the spearmen. Meanwhile, the Boyar children, who came out of the other gate, hit from the rear. Then there was just a massacre.
After the Mongols came reinforcement - AI did not come up with anything smarter than to throw them to the walls, where they began to shoot my archers. Then they ran out of arrows and I led part of the garrison out of the gate. The Mongols rushed at them, the battle boiled over... and then they were hit in the rear by the fresh forces of my second unit, which came to that time. The result - again the defeat of the Mongols.
The next reinforcements were not so much superior to my strength. They fought for a long time, threw even archers in hand-to-hand combat, but in the end the Mongols retreated completely bloodless. My two units were left with bloody stubble, but unlike the Mongols, I could recover.
Then I was just finishing up the remnants of the Mongolian horde, which broke into separate detachments - one at a time.
When the Timurids came, I already had 3 powerful detachments in the east. Waited. until the horde stretches on the march (another AI error - does not keep all the forces in one fist) and beat equal forces, and sometimes against 1.5-2 times superior enemy (good units on the map of the battle go not immediately). Definitely - later the army of Russia is able without any problems to break all there Timurids, the main thing is not to go to the mortal battle at once against the whole horde, and catch the stragglers.
Half of the Timurids reached Ryazan, but there simply repeated the same tactics, which the Mongols were in.
Conclusion - not as terrible a devil as it is small. Man, of course, possessing the forces of the Mongols and, especially, Timurids, would have calmly reached, and to La Mancha, and to Gibraltar. But AI blunts: stretches troops, climbs into suicide attacks, succumbs to provocations. As a result, hordes suffer catastrophic losses, which they can not make up. We, in the end, can even lose the city or two (return), forcing the horde to wash with blood under its walls.
In general, I have a suspicion that the Mongols and Timurids, by and large, are good at creating problems for the two strongest nations: Russia and Turkey, so that they do not develop and finish the game too quickly.
