Hello all,
I was just wondering if you could help me out in my current game. I have the basic handle on the game but am just a casual player, so any help from you experts would be much appreciated.
I started as the lowest level clan leader within Otukin (Northern steppe area) with a liege. I worked my way up to conquer the northern border limits down to Samarkand. (started at the earliest date ~700ce) The Mongol horde appeared and completely annihilated the dominant steppe clan in the area. They went on to completely wipe out anything South of modern day Russia. Upon their arrival, I made sure to send a gift and buy a favor from Temujin to have one of my daughters marry one of his son for a non-aggressive pact. I also made sure to join any of his conquests, as it increased his opinion of me for free as they are going to win any war regardless of my involvement or not.
So... long story short, my daughter died dissolving any non-aggression pact. In addition, Temujin is still alive at 69 years old with around 12 children. I kind of "cheated" and simulated my game to when Temujin dies to see if the insanely large stack disappears with him...and it doesn't. (What?!) In addition, there was no fracturing of the empire as anticipated, and even if it had the Mongols have around 120K in troops which would easily crush any opposition.
So my plan to wait out the Mongols until people started dying has not come to fruition. Now I would have to assassinate like 20+ characters to dissolve the Temujin blood line as Temujin had so many children and they have children. Obviously the successor doesn't want any marriage ties to my character as I am probably next on the hit list.
In my "this doesn't count"
simulation, the Mongols eventually attacked me and I tried gorilla warfare but they just split their armies into like 6 separate stacks worth 20k+ each. It is impossible to beat.
*Also I would have to check again, but I don't think I can swear fealty. I thought about doing that... but even in that case, I would never be able to beat the large Mongol stacks in a bid for independence.
Is my game basically over?
