CK3 doesn't counts.

If there was no story, you'd get bored of it within an hour.

How did a bunch of manlets with spears and bows end up debating the great civilizations of their time like russia, the middle east and China? Just shoot them with cannons lol.

High protein diets, unironically.

Mount & Blade

surely there's a bare bones mount & blade mod for you to play.

No they were short and short is more of advantage than people think
>>712902513
Because they were great at the strategical level
Many people focus too much on the tactical level and forgot the strategical level
They had a lot of spies, good logistics, knew when and where to strike, profiting of troubles etc...

the average bronze age person was around 176 cm tall, in mongolia it was around 180 cm. the mongols ate nothing but meat and mogged their neighbors in terms of gains.

You retarded faggot
The mongols were very short even for their time and its an advantage for combat and warfare
>meat
Everybody ate meat retard and it doesnt make you taller
Just put more muscle easier

The Mamluks were steppe people too but the Arabs kidnap them as a child and raise them as their elite soldier. It's interesting how they manage to out-Mongol the Mongols.

>>712903427
They were multi ethnic
Some of them were turks, some circassians, some nubians, and i believe even some arabs/egyptians too etc...
And i dont think it was arabs raiding them, it was more like other steppe people enslaving them and selling them to arab merchants

>>712903361
objectively false. the mongols had a meat only diet and grain was considered food for cattle and slaves.

>>712903697
You retarded faggot cant even fucking read

Not that mongols didnt ate mainly meat and even that its false because they also raided/stole grain supplies and used vegetables too

It was actually like the venice of the north east
A mercantile culture of slavic and norse inspiration

>>712902513
By the time they reach Iran Genghis can muster fucktons of troops after he consolidate all tribes in the Steppe. The thing about steppe nomads is the fact they didn't have to farm to feed themself, so all males can be mustered unlike settled society who can only muster fraction of that without ruining their economy.

>>712904428
Genghis never set a foot in iran or russia
This is a common misconception
He conquered central asia and north china then he died
It was his descendants who conquered the rest
