Title: Golden Horde - The Uprising

The great Golden Horde was the name whispered by the terrified rulers of Eastern Europe and Siberia. The Horde had been sent west by Ogodei, successor to the immortal Chinggis Khan. Under Batu the rampaging horsemen took their tents to the very forests of Germany before settling back to impose their rule on the western part of an empire that now stretched from Poland to China, from Siberia to the tip of India - the greatest contiguous land empire the world has ever seen.
Though the ferocity and savagery of the Horde's conquest is still whispered with terror in the rebuilt streets of Kiev, Moscow, Warsaw and a thousand other razed cities, the Mongols brought a rare civilisation to their conquered territories. Communications sped across the vast deserts via pony-borne couriers. Justice was fair and impartial and stretched across caste boundaries. Peace had been imposed by the sword and the bow, but once the smoke cleared, peace reigned. The Great Yasa of Chinggis Khan held sway and guided the Khans and their descendants.

One glorious summer morning in Karakorum the Khan spoke to us:
"Do you hear the singing of your blood? Do you dream longingly of endless plains? Does your soul feel empty without a horse beneath you and a bow in your hand? Does your heart cry out for victories and grim death cause you laughter? If so, you may have a Mongol's soul. Take an expeditionary tumen, build the Golden Horde in this land and bring the Empire back to glory!"

Today the Horde achieved first victory in Calradia. If you want get paid with crpg gold in future battles as Golden Horde Mercenary then apply for the battle and write in the description "Golden Horde Mercenary". After the battle put an offer like stones for 1k crpg gold  :)

Golden Horde warriors were not only archers, they had heavy warriors too:
Quote
Most Mongol warriors fought as light horsemen, wearing leather body armor and, if possible, a silk undershirt—allegedly offering protection against an arrow shot. Their minority of heavy cavalry, however, were sometimes equipped with Chinese-style metal armor. Made of overlapping plates, usually sown onto a backing garment, this is a replica of a Mongol armor that was flexible and offered good protection in close combat.

make the Tag "Golden" or "Horde". That one looks particulary ugly  :mrgreen:

Good Luck  :D

"Golden" sounds gay and "Horde" sounds like World of Warcraft :D:D

Gld_Hrd is pretty ugly, too.

Why not make it GoHo_ or Mongol_ ?:D

Look in the Golden Horse were not only Mongols but Russians (Alexander Nevski the founder of today Russia for example), Tatars, Genoese mercenaries and such too. I myself role-play as italian explorer and merchant. So Mongol_ isn’t so good. GoHo_ is it really better than Gldn_Hrd? But you know for RP strategus battles it doesn’t matter so much, more important is the right rp-equipment. I was just playing to get chadz crafting text and lost 12k crpg gold, the text seems to come very random but the horde is rich :)

GoHo goes much easier on the tongue than Gldn_Hrd

Just try to say it.GoHo.And then, Gldn_Hrd

of course you will say Golden Horde, but imagine People ingame, they will twirl their tongues trying to interpret that tag :D

The Khan in Karakorum died. The Horde moved back to Karakorum in order to select a new Khan. Happy Calradia :)
