Medieval II Total War Turkish Chronicles 22 More Skirmish
This episode show one assassination battle and one battle.
I think this battle show the impact of my previous battle and my global strategy. I think it's a good illustration of how much the Mongols are able to make my troops run away easily. But It also show that now the Mongols are getting weaker since I'm able to fight them for a long time. So even if I lost once more, this battle will lead to the next battle and the multiple defeat will switch into multiple victory on all front. On the German front against the cities I gave mongols I have 3 army sieging them. So I will conquer all the lost ground back. But it will take many battle I guess...
There is still some very strong army around, but most of the original elite Mongols are dead.

Why dont you just make one really good army and put it on the mongol front. Instead of all theses weaker and more plentiful armies?
Just wondering, but your still doing amazingly well with the mongols.
Good question =)
Well my east front city and fort were not developed technologically for some reason. I didn't had money or time to developed them. But there is also the fact that If those city were to fall to the Mongols, I would certainly not want the Mongols to have well developed city.
By feeding then with bad city, I make sure they develop weak army. By weakening the Mongols over time I know they won't recover, and they won't have time to develop better city before my counter attack. =)
Making war against Mongols with bad army also have the advantage to cost less, allowing me to continue to fight against European. I could probably even start a front against Moors.
Would probably be a good idea, new pillage territories... ;)
i don't know how can u think that much...you have all the campaign already planed!!! =O this will be a great war =)
why dont u just make a whole army of horse archers, decimate all that u can until ALL ammo runs out then run away, instead of losing all these infantry and light cavalry.
hehe, Frederick XVII. Well I have a vague plan, but it evolve as the campaign advance =)
Anonymous, Yeah it could be a good idea, but i don't have many fort or city that produce archer cavalry in the region, so it will take time before I get such army. Infantry also has the advantage of keeping the enemy busy while you cavalry move around so that they can potentially shoot in the back of the enemy and by doing so killing them easier.
Hi Attila! I was just wondering why you use only ballistas and catapults agains the mongols? Don't you get any trebuchets or cannons yet?
I have also been wondering which war machine is the best against enemy troops(mainly infantry).
Infact catapults seem to be super accurate, and they also pack just enough punch to kill all infantry with flaming ammo.
Ballistas aren't just as good since, thet aren't area attack weapons, but they are also very accurate.
Trebuchet's accuracy is just about the same, as if the rotting cow was infact aiming the trebuchet, and not being flung towards the enemy.
So pretty bad.
Culverins and basilisks might also be quite accurate, but I haven't really used them alot. Bombards are horribly bad.
well I don't have trebuchet or cannon yet. Cannon a useful when it come to very long range battle. trebuchet are mostly useful when it come to siege something. Batista are useful when it come to defend the street of a city, since they can kill many in one shoot. But Catapult is the most versatile artillery unit in the game. and the very interesting thing is that they can shoot a meter in front of them, just a little over the head of your troop making very devastating damage to your enemies while being behind a safe line of infantry. they also are good on open battlefield. If you lose them you also don't really care...
Dear Attila:
Your tactique against the mongols is good but isn't it more profitable to make peace on the west to concentrate all your armies in the east and so make the war against the mongols a little less costly????
Also I don't know in which turn you are but around the 1350s the black death will show up and that will make almost impossible to fight the mongols.
Anyway my tactic against the mongols was a simple(and lucky)one:
Since I started my campaign(I started with russia) I focused on two factors: having really good assasins and genrals.
When the mogols arrived they appeared on ther Sarkel region.
I had really good assasins due to their exp. and really good generals because I was at war with all my neighbours.
When they appeared my assasins killed their generals on by one
I was extremely lucky because I could kill all but obne of their generals(the faction leader,that my 5 experienced assasins could not kill and died trying) But then I lured him(and his army) into an ambush by retreating to woodzone where I had hiiden the other armies then I assumed coomand of the armies personally and focused only to kill the genral regardless of the cost.
When I finally reached him I killed him at expense of my king,once I did that I flee.
Then on the campaign map,as I had killed all their family members,their armies just turned into rebels and were no longer a threat.
Now I wish to be prepared for the next threat;tell me:
In which year do the timurids apper??
Have you fought them??
Are as powerful as mongols??
Merci.
Well, I can't stop the war on the West for different reason. The first is that they don't like me (I'm in war against all of them and conquering all territory on my way). So they won't accept peace for nothing at the very hard difficulty level.
The second is that my war against the west is financing my war against the east by pillage. The pillage of western city is my main source of money.
The third reason is that I gave 2 city to the Mongols on the west so that they would be force to send reinforcement on the west to save those city and by doing so dividing their armies (worked very well).
The fourth reason is that I need to compensate for every lost territory to the Mongols by expending somewhere else so that I can maintain my economic balance. So Europe is the best place.
As for the years in five more episode the years will be 1290. So I still have a lot of time, and I don't think Mongols will last that long considering that in the year 1290, I conquered back 2 city and opened the way to conquer back the city on the fort of the East.
I know the strategy of assassins but choose not to use it mostly because it doesn't make great video ;)
But, It sure seem to be one of the best strategy against them.
As for your question about Timurid, Well I'm not sure when they come, I fought them many time in the past, but never really was a priority fight in the past. They are more annoying then Mongols because they use gun and cannon, they also have powerful units. But I don't know if this chronicles will last that long.
Historacly the timurids come in around 1380. Then they invaded the persian lands. Well attilla, you probably have conquered the entire campaign map when they come :D
Yeah this is most likely I will control all Europe since a long time and my army will be waiting for those timurids. Any info where the enter the map precisely?
;)
This is a mesage for attila:
I have discovered that the timurids appear in the lands near baghdad and mosul in the mid 1380s.
That is the answer to your question about the location yetthey don't seem to have units as strong as the mongols.
 Bientôt mon ami.
Attila:
There is a small mistake I must have said 1370s instead of 1380s and they are weaker in numbers(comparing to mongols) but have elephants...
Merci pour l'info =)
Yeah I think they are less, but they have guns... and that is annoying ;)
