📋 About This Mod

Addon for Anno Domini 1257(v1. 13). Mod doesn't change original balance, there are some changes for new troops, but i don't think they critically affect original balance. Stats numbers for new gear (armor rating, weight, cost e.t.c) has been taken from original mod (1 item has been nerfed - Khergit guard boots). Troop tree has been reworked, added 3 new troops. All mongolian equipment now also can be bought in Rus culture towns.

1. Mongolian kyshtym - same troop as original Mongolian Tribesman

2. Mongolian lubchiten - same troop as original Mongolian Skirmisher

3. Mongolian habutu - same troop as original Mongolian Horseman

About mid-range horse archers.

They doesn't perform cantabrian circle tactic, in other words, they don't use Anno Domini's horse archer AI. Instead, they using Native's like horse archer AI, but i'm not 100% sure about that, because it was long time ago when i played Native last time, and i don't remember how do khergit horse achers act in the battle, so i will describe their performing.

On the battlefield, when you command them to charge, they will
