Gameplay
Starting Position
The Mongols do not have a starting position as they are an emergent faction which is not present at the beginning of the game. The Mongol horde will either appear north or south of Caspian Sea, at the east border of the map. They come in 3 waves, the first one of 5 and the 2 others of 4 armies.
5 turns before they come, a message indicates that they are coming. If you play an eastern faction, you should use these turns to strongly reinforce your armies and your defences.
The most western factions (England, France, Spain) are less menaced so if you didn't expand in the Holy Lands or near Black Sea you can ignore the Mongols, as several eastern factions can be used as a shield. However, if the Mongols conquer these factions, they might become a greater threat as they establish themselves. The fact their most of their army has no upkeep means they can keep building larger armies and become more and more difficult to deal with.
Victory Conditions
The Mongols do not have any win conditions. They can only achieve victory by conquering the whole map.
