The low pop limit makes it somewhat challenging. I deleted vils on the way up to a massive army; elephants obviously, monks to heal the elephants, and provide micro intense ranged cover. Then xbows to protect the monks, and nobody could touch me all game long. I didnt ally with the mongols at all bcos i intend to face them head on.

On singah i parked across the shallows, put down a forward castle, then stampeded with elephants reinforced by forward stables; Singah's unit composition is weak as you can convert his elephants, stampede over the longswords, and convert / kill his cav archers.

On mongols its a bit harder, as mangudai are good. But when facing a hit and run enemy you put him down with sheer production; i put down a forward castle in his base (my villagers surrounded by elephants, xbows, monks, no one ks stopping me. Then i spammed those karambit which train really really fast and the mongols just cant hit and run anymore, especially with my elephants now on the loose on his economy, backed up by monk and archer sniping villagers. Very soon i had his castle surrounded, his town centers destroyed, my monks converting his production buildings to stop his military from replenishing, and karambits + xbows wiping out his military faster than he can train.
