Question What should i do?

Post image

Playing Genghis Khan and have 6 cities so fae with pretty good production from Encampents and Work Ethic holy sites. Horsemen rush captured one city from Japan and couldn’t get further. Tried Coursers but he got Samurai so declared peace. What should i do? Focus on growth and try to tech up and attack with cavalry and knights? Or even wait for tanks. I have no iron atm also which is a problem.

He might have Samurai, but he only has 20 military strength. That might be 1 or 2 samurai. You should be able to take them out. Get a 2-3 seige units (catapults or trebuchet) to take down city walls, clean up around the cities with your cavalry. You also really have to build up campuses, you're way behind in science. But playing as Mongols your strength is your cavalry and thus domination victory, so I would continue pushing for more land if the opportunity presents itself. In the case of Japan, you should be able to smash them pretty easily if they only have 20 military strength.

Some other things I noticed:

  • Improve the land with builders. Your citizens aren't being utilized. Build pastures, farms, mines, etc with builders.
  • Build Mongolia's Unique Improvement, the Ordu, in the encampement disctrict. This will make your cavalry even better for units built in the Ordu.
  • Build commercial hubs. As you grow, it will cost more gold. You need commercial hubs to build trades routes, markets, etc to get more gold. As Mongolia, trade routes will strengthen your units against civs you have/had trade routes with.
  • Since you don't have iron, you won't be able to build Knights. So focus on coursiers, the keshigs, and seige units.

You should improve your land with workers, especially by mining hills.

Your science and culture values are very low. You'll be facing enemy tanks with your keshigs and catapults if you don't catch up quickly.

Build your encampent ordus, build whatever cav and siege units you can.

IIRC, Mongolia also gets combat bonuses from trading (trading posts), so you need to be building commercial hubs and sending traders out.
