Started the "Rise of the Mongols" campaign in a mod made by BiteNibbleChomp.

http://www.slitherine.com/forum/viewtop ... 47&t=50965

Looks great so far: units and flags are very nice, some interesting scripted events, good looking maps...

Rules: Colonel with AI level 2, normal combat random, no reloads.
Initial prestige: 0
Initial core: 8 Keshiks.

Scenarios:

1. Merkits. Victory on turn 7. 0 casualties.
Crossed the river and quickly captured the enemy camp.

2. Betrayal. Victory on turn 5. 0 casualties.
Enemy had a real horde. Tons of units. Ignored them - quickly captured both enemy camps and got a victory.

3. Keraits. Victory on turn 13. 0 casualties.
Cautiously crossed the desert and captured the enemy camp.

4. Naimans. Victory on turn 15. 0 casualties.
Quite challenging scenario. A lot of AI cavalry with keshiks. Used fow and spotting to my advantage and took the objective.

5. Western Xia. Victory on turn 13. 0 casualties.
Nice scenario. Snowy weather limited spotting. Many chinese cities were left undefended and I quickly captured them.
Outflanked clusters of chinese troops (Cavalry, archers) grouped around the Great wall and took all the objectives.

Current prestige: 800

6. Great Wall. Victory on turn 14. 0 casualties.
Easier than I initially thought. There was an obvious way past the wall.
A lot of AI units, but they were passive except for a small cavalry counter-attack. Many cities were undefended.
Got some new (captured) units, which is nice.

Current prestige: 1500

7. Zhongdu. Victory on turn 17. 0 casualties.
Nice big map. Quickly captured Zhongdu; then moved along the coast trying to locate the chinese fleet.
AI had a lot of entrenched infantry backed up by archers and even cannons.
Some cavalry counter-attacks, not very dangerous.

Current prestige: 3260

8. Kara-Khitai. Victory on turn 9. 0 casualties.
Small and easy scenario. Repelled cavalry counter-attack (Horse and Horse Archers) and captured the cities of the Silk Road.
Got 1 Medieval Cannon core unit.

Current prestige: 3610

9. Khwarezmia. Victory on turn 23. 9 Core units lost.
First challenging scenario of the campaign. Huge map - took me a long time to complete the objective.
Many khwarezmid cities, some of them well-defended. Received some siege equipment for my Core.
AI had a ton of units of all types: light infantry, heavy infantry, horse, camel cavalry, archers, trebuchets and catapults.
AI artillery was especially annoying.

Lost a lot of units after an unexpected counter-attack.

Current prestige: 5170
Campaign casualties: 9 Core units lost.

10. Punjab. Victory on turn 9. 0 casualties.
Easy scenario. Only 1 AI city had a decent defense.
AI performed a dangerous counter-attack with war elephants, but my keshiks triumphed once again.

Current prestige: 6020
Campaign casualties: 9 Core units lost.

11. Throne Claims. Victory on turn 15. 0 casualties.

Very easy scenario. A lot of undefended cities, also not many AI troops.

There was one scripted counter-attack by khwarezmids and cumans;
their troops spawned on the edges of the map and did nothing.

Got scripted replacements for some of my units. Captured 2 war elephants units.

Current prestige: 6970
Campaign casualties: 9 Core units lost.

12. Kaifeng. Victory on turn 11. 0 casualties.

Tedious scenario. I didn't like It.
Snowy weather. Limited visibility. I had to dig out A LOT of entrenched infantry around the besieged city.
Game also crashed at some point.

Current prestige: 6970
Campaign casualties: 9 Core units lost.
