Factions\mongols

[UniversalRuler]

I have been playing this game for a few days now, and i must say the game is sweet. I compare this with TotalWar, and i must say, this seems much more realistic and way more enjoyable. There seems to be a great lot of factions. my question for today is, do the factions have an advantage over one another? I try to play as my favorite faction of all time the Mongols, but being as a an entire calvary faction (of course) I stand no chance against other factions. is there any tips\tactics you guys can share playing as the Mongols?

Cheers
