No dark age bonuses, though these are just generally bad dark age civilizations.ДЇeudal: Koreans, Franks. Worst civilizations against Mongols, by age:Дark: Byzantines, Franks, Saracens.

Another civilization to utilize is Saracens, whose Mamelukes destroy mangudai. Persian knights have +2 attack against archers, and Mongols miss halberdiers, making them somewhat weaker if war elephants make an appearance. The fact that Mongols miss plate barding armor really hurts them in this, as their hussars cannot counter longbows. Britons have longbows that can kill most Mongol stuff before it ever gets in range. Korean siege onagers are good against Mongol siege. Huskarls and War Wagons are great against mangudai. The best civs in imperial are Goths, Koreans, Britons, and Persians. In imperial, if you are a meso civ, you can blitz the Mongol with EEWs before he has champions to counter. Mangudai are also weak to war wagons and huskarls, if you happen to get either of them. Don't wait until you see them, make skirmishers if he even hints at archers, and have them ready when he first attacks. Skirmishers slay them, as they do all archer units. It is in the castle age that you will see the first of the mangudai. Literal fast castle? Franks, Koreans, and Spanish are better at that. Crossbows? Mayans and Britons are certainly superior. Cavalry archers? Most would agree the Huns are better. Knights? Persians, Teutons, Franks, and Huns are better. And of course, counter units are your friend when defending AGAINST one of these.Д¬astle age, the Mongols are again the fastest at getting there if they try, but other civilizations have superior abilities for the various rushes. Scouts? Huns and Teutons can give stiff competition. But for the record: Towers? Koreans, Teutons, and Spanish are better at sustaining it. So whatever flush you want to do, Mongols can do it faster. Mongols can get here faster than anyone, but other civs are more powerful after just a few minutes. However, except in 1v1 Arabia, the Drush is not too commonly seen, so we can just skip to the next age.ДЇeudal. Aztecs, Huns, Celts, and Goths get a superior drush in some way. In the dark age, some civilizations get a better drush. Mongols are probably my second favorite civilization (after Teutons) so I am aware of their weaknesses.
