You already have Euopeans of the appropriate period, Then there's themselves, you can use the Chinese infantry as Chinese. They also got involved in the Crusades, so various Arab and Turkish figures can be used for the Muslim armies which defeated them.

Stop sodding about with niche stuff, and expand best sellers?
I have neither the time nor the crayons to explain why you are wrong.

Hi

Lets not forget the Mongol Invasion of Japan. Well you could sort of pressgang the Samurai to leave the comfy Renaissance and slog it out in the Middle Ages  :D.

Cheers

No Muslim army ever defeated the Mongols.

Ain Jalut doesn't count as it was a small Mongol rearguard force mixed with Georgian and Cilician allies.

the main enemy has to be the Sung Chinese surely?

I agree, whenever I think of mongols the Chinese are the first to pop into my head as their enemies. Or vise versa. Hell, the Chinese built a rather famous wall to stop the mongols....


Sometime down the line I'm guessing chinese will be added to pendraken range.

They built the famous wall after kicking the Mongols out.

I thought the Mongols ignored the wall, went round it, and caused more trouble!

They do in the Conn Iggulden books...

"the famous wall" is actually a series of ever lengthening walls built over a long period and regularly extended when an enemy found a way round the end.

I think there plenty of older walls there as well, not just earth mounds going back about a thousand years or more  if memory serves correctly
If I were creating Pendraken I wouldn't mess about with Romans and  Mongols  I would have started with Centurions , eight o'clock, Day One!
