Why Play as the Mongols?
The Mongols are masters of mobility and resourceful conquerors.
Here’s what makes them unstoppable:
- Faster Cavalry Production: Pump out cavalry units faster than anyone else — perfect for raiding and blitzing cities!
- No Food Cost for Stable Units: Build armies without crippling your food economy.
- Plunder Bonuses: Destroying enemy cities and caravans gives you extra resources to fuel your next attack.
Pro Tip:
For the Mongols, standing still is losing. Keep moving, keep raiding, keep conquering.
Mongol Domination Strategy – How to Play It Right
1. Build Stables Early
Your cavalry is your bread and butter. Prioritize stables early to get your horsemen out faster and overwhelm slower opponents.
2. Scout, Scout, Scout
Knowledge is power! Find weak targets, enemy caravans, and poorly defended cities. Plan your raids for maximum damage with minimal risk.
3. Raid Enemy Economies
Don’t give your enemies time to build up. Constantly raid their caravans, farms, and undefended cities. Every resource you steal weakens them and strengthens you.
4. Keep Expanding
Use plundered resources to build new cities and more stables. The bigger your empire, the stronger your cavalry production becomes.
5. Strike Hard, Then Move On
Avoid getting bogged down in long sieges. Hit where it hurts, take what you can, and move to the next target before your enemies can regroup.
