You have the advantage of knowing what is coming once they reach the tech level for knights, so you either 1) wipe them out before they get that far (Greece, I'm looking at you) or 2) survive their onslaught and wipe them out after their high-phase is over. Just deal with it.
Wow. Easier said than done, bro.
1.Wipe them out before they get that far? There are plenty of mounted units that come before "that far"... It's not as if Mongolia is weak until they get Keshiks. That's clearly false. Maybe with Greece, as you pointed out. But unfortunately for Greece, their sucky Hoplite (Suck compared to Champ Calvary) does not even compare to the Khan. Khan+Horseman>Champ Calvary. And no: The Khan does not take hammers.. So please don't argue that.
2. Survive their onslaught? Again: Easier said than done. Especially at the Knight age, since you said "after their high-phrase is over". If you are anywhere near them, you won't "survive their onslaught". That's just how it is... The Khan essentially turns their army into a freight train... It won't stop because made a small dent. You can injure a bunch of Keshiks (Unlikely) and they'll be fine within a turn. Keep in mind the fact that all of their units have 5 movement. (Obviously these are Mounted Units and the Khan) Trust me, you will not "survive their onslaught". (At least if it was a human player)
If you're facing a human Mongolia, and they want to kill you once they have Keshiks, then you're pretty much finished.
Note: This, of course, is a fantasy. Considering Mongolia can't be played in Multiplayer, you will never be facing another human playing as the Mongols (until/unless they implement Mongols for Multiplayer) But the AI is terrible; there's no reason to compare anything with an AI... England is overpowered against an AI. And we all know how good England is(no offense to England fans)...
