Largest country/empire

[Terror]

not all, but a lot

[Devastator_Mech]

Exactly, almost the entire china, most of Asia and part of Europe.

[Anathema]

Glory to the Kahn!

[Devastator_Mech]

Although he was the greatest conqueror, but it was impossible for him occupy such a huge empire and the great Mongolian Empire start falling dramatically after his death.

He was consided as the greatest conqueror is not only because of the size of the land he conquered, one fact is he used even a smaller army than what Alexander The Great used to build his empire.

[Emperor Harkonnen]

who would have won between Khan and Alexander?

I think Alexander, cos what he conquered was areas with countries with better fighting skills than the ones in Asia and Europe(noth southern europe)

[Devastator_Mech]

I'm not sure who'll win, but the matter of fact is Khan has a huge advantage over Alexander. Firstly, Mongolian horses are much more used to harsh conditions and could travel for days without food and water(not sure about water), secondly, is the Mongolians have great archery skills and could shoot on a horse back while its running with surprising accuracy making it a huge advantage when this skill is mixed with strategy i.e pretend to retreat to lure enemy to chase them and then back fire, this strategy works perfectly with their special skills.(Hit&Run)

These 2 advantage leads to the victory of every battle.

Golden Horde was NOT an empire, it was just one bigger mongolian tribe which controlled some others made some long range raids to west.

[Devastator_Mech]

Whats Golden Horde? I've never heard of it, please explain CLEARLY.

[Caid Ivik]

Be aware on history in school and you will find out. It's a "official" name of the Djingiskhan's tribe alliance, or if you want "empire".

[Devastator_Mech]

I listen carefully at school.

What does this unknown stupid tribe have to do with Khan?

[Caid Ivik]

THIS STUPID TRIBE ARE MONGOLS! How can I say it?

[Devastator_Mech]

Mongolia is the "official" name of many different tribes which makes up it, and Djingiskhan is the tribe which rules over all other tribes.

Is that what your trying to explain?

If so, what about it?

[Terror]

Khan would surely win, since khan was in a later age than alexander and they used superior tactics. they could ride horses because of the invention of the saddle. in the time of alexander this was not very effective because people couldn't ride a horse very well without a saddle besides the power of the mongolian was that they used hit and run attacks using horses. so if you want to beat that you'll need faster soldiers than foot soldiers or war elephants.

and besides, khan not only conquered most of asia and part of europe but also syria and other countries in the middle east, all part of the saracen army. The mongolians were not stopped until they met up with a superior force in egypt

[quoudam72]

Mongol conquests were sucessful due to two important factors. One was military intelligence. The Mongols depended on a network of spies and usually had extensive information of an enemy before they engaged them in battle. The other was their use of psychological warfare.

All who surrender will be spared;

whoever does not surrender but opposes with struggle and dissension,

shall be annihilated.

--Genghis Khan

With Khan's reputation it made sense for a conquered army to surrender.

[Devastator_Mech]

Anyone red this?

Although he was the greatest conqueror, but it was impossible for him occupy such a huge empire and the great Mongolian Empire start falling dramatically after his death.

He was consided as the greatest conqueror is not only because of the size of the land he conquered, one fact is he used even a smaller army than what Alexander The Great used to build his empire.

[Caid Ivik]

So, maybe because it wasn't empire in right word meaning. Alexander installed some archons to his conquered lands, but Djingiskhan ruled only the khanate in Asia, other lands were just under pressure of his warriors.

[Devastator_Mech]

I would love to reply, but the matter of fact is, there's no such word as "archon/s" would you please explain?

[Terror]

All who surrender will be spared;

whoever does not surrender but opposes with struggle and dissension,

shall be annihilated.

--Genghis Khan

no, if khan besieged a city and the city tried to defend himself all inhabitants, i say ALL inhabitants, woman, children, cripple were as good as dead since once khan got trough into the city he murdered every single person in the city, they did this in russia and china, killing thousands of people just because of vengeance. genghis khan was an ass

[Anathema]

If my memory serves me right, Ghengis Khan did not conquer the whole of China, just a large part of it. I believe his sun Kubilaj finished the job.

[Terror]

that may be correct, but the point is we're talkin about the mongolian empire not only one khan, and as far as i know they got as far as vietnam meaning they conquered china from north to south totally, i do not know if they also conquered it totally from west to east though :)

[Anathema]

Off topic, in the Earth 2150 storyline the Eurasian Dynasty is ruled by Djengis Khans decendants- kick ass :).

[Terror]

*slams head on desk* you can't wait for earth 2160 can't you?, not sure, it's just a guess

[Anathema]

Yay, I can hardly wait. Earth 2150:TMP will definately be the best RTS (IMO anyway :) ) till the release of Earth 2160, and otherwise I'd still have FA: WoV in the meantime :).

[Inoculator9]

The Mongolian Empire was easily the biggest. Obviously the Mongols system of control over conquered areas was not as efficient as it could have been. But what makes a town or a city part of an empire or a country? The paid tributes, we pay taxes. The areas the Mongols defeated existed as parts of the Mongolian Empire in this manner.

[exatreide]
