TIMURIDS!

[Viao]

I have a problem...again. I havent played the game for a while but started again. I have 68 conrtolled regions with 42 turns left. I am england and i have a lot of the eastern european land and some russian. But now the timurids came and i see 6 of them in stacks together huddled attacking the mongols over and over, each time destroying them. They're really getting close and i really need help on how to destroy or at least defend from them. I dont really need to go attacking them but i need to know how to protect myself. Thanks.

Buy lots of armored swordsmen... They are the most unbalanced unit in the game... And their upkeep is ridiculously low... 3 armies of these guys + longbowmen are going to kick Timurid ass...

What about their elephants? can the armored swordsmen kill them? and btw, if i stick myself in a castle wont their ele's just blast my walls? oh, and i heard that spikes or whatever u call those things that longbowmen lay in the ground cant kill ele's, i dont know it its true...

Just blast them with cannons, that's all... Offense is sometimes the best defense...
