Overview
Packable buildings, Ovoos and mobile production let the Mongols move their base and pressure across the map. They do not rely on the same wall-based defense as many other civilizations.
Use in play
Use scouting to keep the mobile economy safe and pressure routes open. Stone from Ovoos is a limited resource, so spend it on production or upgrades that fit the current plan.
Nomadic base and Ovoo
Mongol buildings can be packed and moved, allowing the base and production to follow strategic needs. The Ovoo provides Stone and enables double production or research for eligible buildings, so its location and the Stone budget shape the plan. Moving is useful when it creates access or safety, not simply for its own sake.
Khan and mobile pressure
The Khan supports the army with signals, while cavalry and Mangudai provide mobility. The Mongols lack ordinary stone walls and rely on positioning, outposts and active defense. Scout routes and move the economy before an attack threatens it; use Spearmen and other supporting units to cover cavalry’s counters.
