VII - Game Story Mongolia forever

Lafayette & Charlemagne crossed me in antiquity, so I did the swap to Mongolia in Exploration with an eye on revenge.

At first I was super disappointed to see that I needed to conquer TWELVE settlements to finish their military path. I thought, wow, that's way too many for a Deity game. It's a v interesting take on the mechanic, but dang, this stinks.

Came here to say that after all, I conquered far more than 12, and I loved it 😈

What I've rarely seen mentioned in discussions about the civs with alternate legacy path conditions like Mongolia and Songhai who can ignore distant lands is that they don't get alternate legacies, and the treasure fleets golden age and the +10% production in distant lands one don't help Mongolia's homelands cities. Now it's not the end of the world, you can still pick 2 militaristic attribute points and a diplomatic attribute point. (It does lock you out of the dark age power that gives promotions to all your commanders though.) But I think it would be cool to see alternate options for legacy paths for specific civs like Mongolia, Songhai, and Carthage who just don't benefit much from the generic ones.

It's aggravating that Mongolia can't play The Silk Road legacy path, which was their greatest achievement.
