The new succession games have started me playing MTW again and in my latest game as the Polish the Mongols appeared. Now I knew they were going to appear and had been steadily been building up a force that could defeat them as I was expecting around 3000 Mongols. Then this appeared:

Instead 13000+ Mongols appeared :D I'm going to try to command the battle personally but otherwise I will have to abandon the province and hope that they waste their troops gradually. If anyone wants to have a go at winning the battle as potentially there are more troops that could be thrown against them, then I will upload the saved game as well.

Some further information: My empire has a huge income and I have begun bribing armies. Also the Polish empire is at war with the Egyptions and the Germans may betray me so I have to keep large armies on these borders to stop them from attacking.

Yikes! I think i'll pass on this one.

There are some interesting forests and since the Mongols are cavalry based I will make a second attempt tomorrow at winning the battle by being more selective with the initial troops and then trying to immediately push them off the battle field before they can use their numeric supremecy.

After accidentally clicking to auto fight the battle several interesting things happened. The majority of my army had been moved to another province next to Khazar whilst the Mongol King had been killed so the Mongol army had disappeared leaving a small army trapped in the Khazar castle with no surrounding army :)
