Now here is a good one ... the Mongols under Batu Khan decided not to advance further into Europe, for whatever reason ... but if they did, they're next target would've been the German states ... so what would happen if they did? You noobs think they would've pwned Central and Western Europe?

Lmao, yes. They were in dark ages.

yeah they would've gotten pwned like the templars and teutonic knights ... the rest of europe was no different ..

Dude make a new TW log. Any faction.

bro my desktop had a virus so my bro had to defrag the entire thing and we took out all of the important files EXCEPT the games ... so i have to re download it

Lol! Games should have been saved first

not enough room on the disc

anyway I can see Ace coming in here and making a case for the Germans

Ace is Nasi.

I can't deny any of this.

Germans were scary back then, man... They beheaded their enemies and played with their heads like soccer balls. Maybe Batu Khan was too scared to mess with 'em.

Batu Khan ↓

Dude the Teutonic Knights were Germany's best fighters and they got their arses handed to them by Khan in the Battle of Mohi

I say the Mongols overrun the German States just as easily ..

When i was playing as the Roman empire in RTW...I hate the Germanic tribe bastards.

they're the original barbarians LOL

In RTW it's crazy. Germanic tribes and the Gauls are freaking everywhere. Nonstop.That's why I stopped my Roman campaign and played Egypt lol. I'll make sure to take all of Africa/Russia/Middle East before going into Europe.

worst than the Mongols?

They're weaker, but they are much more spread out. Also mad annoying. Naked barbarians...

loooooooool

bro that game is ALL about flanking man ... and I hate the stupid phalanx spear guys ... since when did they have pike men back then??

Yeah. I have Nubian spearman in my army.

The battles are actually pretty good, not just flanking.

horse archers are not as effective ... i used to able to decimate entire armies with just horse archers ...

Because Mamluke Cavalary isn't in the game. They are honestly the best unit in M2TW and ETW/NTW from what I heard.

Parthians have horse archers I mean ...

Ok.

BTW aren't they Persians or are they another faction?

yeah they're Persians

The Goths were actually pretty good fighters. Primitive, but they had their shit together. Even though that's the wrong time period.

HRE and the Teutonic Knights were defeated by the Mongols multiple times it looks like

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Legnica

From this I can conclude that the Mamluks were truly the BEST fighters of the era ... they defeated all of the f@ggot crusader knights (Templars, Hospitaller etc) AND the Mongol horde ... at the same time ...

From that era, the rankings so far:

1. Mamluks
2. Mongols
3. Knights


they are also DEF the best cavalry in M2TW

They are also the only cavalry units that could survive mele attacks.
