Mongolians ruined the Cradle of civilization

The mongols murdered large portions of the populations they conquered. That's how they kept control of the regions.

I didn't know about the Iranian incident, was it isolated or did it happen else where?

Almost everywhere was the same. The mongols you're talking about are the post-conquering Ilkhanate who became very tolerate of the local populations customs and were quite fair rulers after the initial conquerers passed on the reigns.

I thought all mongols were the same, I was wrong, I personally hate the Yuans, they were the worst.

The initial Mongol conquests were violent murderfests, which killed tens of millions. The mongol kingdoms that came out of them were for the most part tolerant and good to their subjects.

When I read this, all I can think of is "They came, they saw, they conquered"

Yes. No. Maybe. Perhaps.
Clear enough for you?

The other people of the ancient world were just as violent and brutal as the mongals it was a time of........Total War

I miss that game. It was so good...

It's still playable. I just don't play it very often cuz I prefer to play it with Stainless Steel which is a bitch to install.

It's plenty of fun without your fancy smancy modifications.

Medieval 2 total war: Loved conquering the world as the Papal states, you will become Catholic and you will like it.

Meh. I prefer mods on all the total war games to be honest.

I have no faith in user made content. 99% of the time it only serves to break immersion due to crap production value and incomplete animations. Rarely to never have I seen a good one.

That's the way I see it. Plus, some of them are really difficult to install.

Stainless steel, Invasio Barbarum, Europa Barbarum, Roma Surrectum 1 & 2, Dues Lo Vult, Thera, I've Never had a problem with any of them and they all are way better then vanilla.

And Rome Total Realism VI and VII. Diadochi Total War, Rise of Persia, I could go on and on and on.

Wow. Nice job completely ripping off someone else in your own thread. Could you not come up with an original thought yourself? The very least you could have done is linked the article and say a single sentence. Maybe in a single word. Just post the link and say "Discuss" though that would probably still make you look lazy.
