—In-game description

The Mongolian Army is a Chinese banner army in Age of Empires III: The Asian Dynasties that can be trained at the Castle once the Commerce Age is reached. It consists of two Keshiks and two Steppe Riders.

Strategy

This army is a standard composition of heavy cavalry and light ranged cavalry. The Keshiks protect the Steppe Riders from cavalry, while the Steppe Riders protect the Keshiks from foot archers, rifle infantry, and artillery. It is vulnerable to massed heavy infantry.

Training the Mongolian Army gives 40 XP instead of the expected 42. However, killing all members of the army gives the enemy 42 XP, unlike what the description says.

Alliance with the Russians allows training the Mongolian Army at the Blockhouse and Fort.
