Have had a game or two using Mongols and find that they are always heavily outnumbered and fare badly.
Others out there had the same?
Any ideas why?

The later western mongols get some supporting infantry, which is extremely helpful. Otherwise, their small, expensive armies really only have a decent chance (at least against humans) on the steppes map type, where there is little terrain for enemy infantry to hide on.

So the Mongols are well over priced ??
Jomni can you help out here ?

Well, infantry is cheap, cavalry is expensive, and most of their armies are all cavalry.

I m playing the random multiplayer skirmishes.

I ve got two games with shooty ming vs the mongols and the other cavalry faction. Yellow colored rebels.

I have to say i feel bad for my opponents, their armies are disrupted and fragmented before they make contact.

I m no expert but i think that the cav armies (even with a lot of superior troops like the mongols) deserve a ~20-25% price discount all across the board easily. And even then, maybe slightly more buffs.
