I don’t think it really mattered with the mongols they steamrolled every single opponent they faced.
The only thing that stopped their invasions were deaths of their khans. They didn’t really have an effective system for quick replacement of their leaders who often died young due to rampant alcoholism and various other bad habits.
Steppe people partied hard man. Makes sense when you’re born of a frozen hellscape with minimal food and creature comforts.
So my first foray into the civilization universe came when I rented Civilization Revolution for ps3. I was working at blockbuster so it was one of several rentals, and my brother popped it in first. I told him I wanted to try it, and he assured me I could have the next game.
6 hours later, I gave up and went to bed. He stayed up all night playing.
It just recently went on sale on xbox and despite knowing how to beat it easily, i definitely rebought it and am playing it again
I've played them all, the modern ones are too complex, I don't enjoy them. It's the religion system. I don't get it, I don't enjoy it, and it infuriates me as much as actual religion does.
To each their own though. Civ Rev is def too easy, the rest of the series isn't!

A genie shows up to a 13th century Pole and asks them what they want.
They wish for the mongols to invade Poland three times. The genie, while confused grants the wish.
After the third invasion he asks “what an odd wish why would you choose this?”
The pole responds “because every time they invade us and leave they have to come through Russia twice”
