Mongols Broken (I have HL)

[Conan The Librarian]

I have the following DLC active:

Horse Lords
The Republic
Legacy of Rome
Charlamagne
Old Gods
Sons of Abraham

And I have rolled back to before the conclave patch.

Whenever the Mongols show up, they take mongolia, and maybe Khiva, and then do nothing at all for the rest of the game, even though they have loads of troops left. It's really frustrating, the Mongols should be the highlight of a playthrough. Is there anything I can do to fix it?

Thanks in advance

The only fix I can think of is to download the latest patch. The mongols are much more aggressive in that one.

Yep! Mongols in 2.4.5 are no threat. Update your or mod your game

OK thanks. How do I mod the mongols? I don't want to update to the latest patch, at least not until they release the options to turn off shattered retreats, automatic CtA and coalitions, and I work out how to bring back the old battle casualties.

I don't know. I have no experience with modding. Ask in the mod subforum.

I tried various things but none of them was hugely successful. I think what makes the Mongols better post conclave is the AI's more aggressive use of casus belli. The problem is that I don't think that's something we can mod.

The Conclave patch is what fixes the Mongols, mate, though the aggression fix also consistently leads to weird scenarios, like the Lombards conquering parts of Africa without fault, or Christian Spain disappearing in the space of 20 years in the earlier starts.

I say the aggression fix outweighs shattered retreats and defensive pacts as far as fun goes, I'd play with the latest version, it won't take long until the "Additional rules" patch is released and fixes it in any case.
