The game has been going slow for awhile but is back on track now.
Massed my troops near Mongol border. Moved in a stack consisting mainly of med inf (10+), few pikes, a few elite swords (I WANT A LEADER!!!!!!) and 2 horses. First interturn no attack
I take Erdenet without losses, only 2 pikes in there for defense
Move rest of stack on Hovd doorstep, I wont bother with resistance for now, I wanna take out the mongol core so I won't have to worry about him any more. interturn sees a mongol med inf killing a pike, but that's it. I think I'll take and raze Hovd and move towards the small iron city. Take that and then deal with remaining pikes and med inf untill Temujin is down to archers and spears.
Meanwhile Killer is mopping up Egypt, bad news for me. Can't ally egypt for cheap techs as long as Killer is paying me. Hopefully he'll extend this war for awhile...
