Regardless, the campaign throws up plenty of great set-pieces there’s the Battle of Xiangyang to establish Kublai Khan as Emperor of China, Dmitry Donskoy’s power-shifting defeat of the Mongols at Kulikovo, and over in the west the Battle of Bremule to establish England as a regional power.
To chart decades of Mongol conquests without mentioning the centrality of terror and massacre to their strategy, for instance, seems like a bit of a convenient oversight.
It does also sometimes feel like the squeaky-clean presentation skirts around the ickier parts of history.
