i agree, the mighty khan isnt that might

Really? It seemed like imperalistic would be overpowered. Do you think the game is more balanced with your traits vs regular BTS?

I am thinking of downloading these traits. Has anyone else downloaded them? If you have can you provide a short review?

Generally my early mounted units, expecially horse archers as I always give them the 2 flanking promotions first (barracks + stable), which the inate horse archer 20%, gets them a 50% chance to flank if they are gonna die. They get upgraded to knights > curaisser > calvalry > and gunships...

Archers do much better if you build a barracks and give them city garrison 1. I always build a barrack before I start producing units.

I use it with representation all the time, works great until state property. I rarely use free markets.

man, no cyrus charismatic and imperalistic he is a good war monger

The secret to modding an improve mongolia is to fix their UB, and extra 2 xp beyond the 5 you get from a regular barracks + stable is worthless. Change the ger from +4 xp to + 7xp and move keskiks to replace knights (no terrain movement cost knight, as the mongols were dominant during the...

It still doesnt change the fact Mongols would have crushed every army of the classical age, just as the pretty much did in the Medieval period, Horse archers existed long before the mongols were around the Assyrian used them a very long time ago, same with the Huns. A horse archer that is...

why? Its fighting other knights just like horse archers are fighting other horse archers. I modded mine to replace knights, so you need guilds, HBR, iron and horses to build them. How is that overpower compared to a 8 strenght horse archer that only needs HBR and then becomes a Prat with...

I just try to avoid worthless tiles as much as possible, tundra, desert, peaks etc. Becareful with plains cities to with no fresh water.

But the "Mongol time" was the middle ages, some 700 years after the sack of Rome, which is why it should replace knights instead of horse archers. Keskiks were not just horse archers either, they were a mix of horse archers, light and heavy calvary, which explains the lance graphic in Civ...

Ha ha, they didnt really fare all that well against the golden horde though http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mongol_invasion_of_Europe#Against_Poland_.281259_and_1287.29

I moved keskiks to knights for historical reasons and kept them the same as regular knight except the ignore terrain movement cost, and I gave them the camel archer 15% withdrawl chance and gave the camel archer the keskiks first strike as this made more sense historically (mounted archers with...
