If you get the mongol mercenaries early, they can be used to easily eliminate Austria (Blue), Bohemia (teal) and Saxony (Yellow), use the horse archers to knock any units, and the onagers to kill the TCs (they outrange it), after TC is down, hunt the villagers down with the HAs, and ignore any castles, once the vills are dead, they should resign deleting their castles, just send the monk to swoop up the relics.

The tactic can also be used against Burgundy, but they have more towers spread around, a quick rush from your infantry/knights before they research murder holes (they start in feudal) makes it easier.
