The Mongols

Bambul · September 18, 2002, 20:08

I was going through the civ's in the editor and I noticed that one of the Great Leaders for China was none other than Ghengis Khan. Has anyone else nticed this, taking into account that the Mongols will be a new Civ comming in PTW?

I'm sure they'll fix that.

It's nothing big anyway, so people could fix it on their own.

some of the barbarian tribes are named "mongols" "carth.." "celtic" as well

Oerdin · September 19, 2002, 00:08

the names of the barbarian tribes and great leaders will need updating but all in all this is one of the few times I can unconditionally say that Firaxis got it right. The Mongols most definately should be in, they should be militarist/expansionist, and they should have a horseman UU. Job well done Firaxis.

Of course Firaxis will remove Ghengis from the list in PTW.

Would be kind of funny if they forgot though

Im gonna be VERY afraid of my friend whos a warmonger and a VERY good civ player. Im just afraid what he is going to do with cheap knights.....

Mongols are so weak in PTW. The devs crapped on my beloved Mongols....expansionist=bleh, crappy UU too.

I used the editor to make then more daneriouse. But I think I over did it they always make it as aa super power

Wow!... this thread got ressurrected 6 months to the day of its last post. I agree, the Mongols were made weak. But if you think about it, they had their fun in the sun very early on. I don't expect them to be a superpower in later stages because they never were. Look at Mongolia now.

Jon Shafer · March 27, 2003, 23:27

Just build lots of their UU and you'll be fine. With expansionist on a large landmass, you can get a good head-start too.

I wonder if Ming is going to close this thread...

Why would he close it, Trip?

The Mongols, like any other Civ, can effectively become a superpower in later stages of the game. But their special attributes and UU give them an advantage early on simply because they were dominant early on in real life.

Because posting in a very old thread is automatically spamming.

At least, that's what he told me. Of course, he says that everything I post is spam, so who am I to judge.

If used correctly.

You'll always find people who use the Mongol UU as if it were an Immortal or something similar.
