Medieval II Total War Turkish Chronicles 31
Today episode is a short one; there is an assassination, 2 auto battle siege, and 1 small battle against isolated Mongols troops.
To give you some idea of what is happening in the rest of the campaign, the war against Milan after many battles is changing for a guerrilla war toward a conquest war where Milan fort and city fall very quickly in front of my troops. The Danish are getting weaker after sieging my forts in the north many times without success. The Christian weaken the front as they send troop to crusade against Portuguese. Taking this opportunity, I raise 3 Jihads army that charge toward those Christian empty frontier. The interesting impacts of that I that since Mongols are Muslim, the sent a Jihad. Meaning, they have a other isolated army that my Jihads will enjoy destroying once the target is conquer.

yeah, no idea how he did die
oh yah and im currently downloading the m2tw gold demo, is it true that it only has the battle of otumba on it??

Yeah Mongols probably had an open mind about religion, and since they had an empire from china to east europe, I guess it's hard to put a "label" religion.
mongols were pagen!!
I think I agree with jh on this one, though I'm not too sure christianity was that wide spread during the mongol time period. You know, Ghengis Khan lived for 60 years, fighting the whole time, and he died when his horse fell and crushed him when he was out for a morning ride. The sheer ironic suckiness of that is amazing.
hehe, yep =)
But anyway, Medieval 2 putted mongols as Muslim, so I can't do much about it ;)
Actually, I remember that one of Genghis's grandsons/sons was actually Christian. And though they didn't make up a large number of Mongols, they were pretty influential in Mongol politics.
Yeah, that is the weirdest way for a warlord to die.
Well during the period of the Mongol dynasty in China, Christian Missionary were really influential. The thing is that Missionary knew Emperor were more interested by Technologies then by Religion. So some of the most intelligent Missionary were sent to China to impress the Emperor and the goal was to convert him and his family.
It worked more of less, but If it had succeed it would actually would have been of little impact over China.
Missionary were jam with the "European" "paradigm"that if you covert the Emperor, you convert the empire. Since in Europe if the King changed religion, he force the kingdom to change religion.
But the Chinese way of seeing the religion was that it was a private matter, so even if the emperor would have been Christian he sure would not have imposes it to others.
Missionary actually ended up with some position in the empire, one of them leaded the ministry of the Astrology, he was in charge of establishing the calendar for the new emperor (very very important job at the time, it required a really good mathematical precision).
An other Missionary server as an ambassador with Russia and negotiated with Russian in Latin. He negotiated the first international treaty of the history of China.
So As you can see, Mongols and Christianity has a very long history. ;)
