Just eastern europe.

[Shadowlord]

The mongols sure knew how to shoot from horseback...

Hence why Ghangis Kahn nearly took over all of Europe. The Mongolian tactic of Shooting from Horseback and fireing BACKWARDS while retreating proved a very challenging strategy to counter for many Europeans.

The Mongols invented kiting?

Oi this link was something my brain has needed.  Now I finally know why I found massive army of mongols during my crusade against Jerusalem in Medieval 2: Total War. 

I was all like "Mongols?  Why on earth are there so many mongols!" and then I ran and hid while they beat up someone else.

I don't see how russia is nearly all europe.

I think we're just supposed to go with the stream-of-conscious flow here. Otherwise, I have to point out that Genghis himself never left Asia.

Plus there was Poland and Hungary...
But yeah it would have been like a Domino effect in some way, shape or form...

From near the bottom of the page...

But Asia too was marching against the West. At one moment it had seemed as if all Europe would succumb to a terrible menace looming up from the East. Heathen Mongol hordes from the heart of Asia, formidable horsemen armed with bows, had rapidly swept over Russia, Poland, Hungary, and in 1241 inflicted simultaneous crushing defeats upon the Germans near Breslau and upon European chivalry near Budapest. Germany and Austria at least lay at their mercy. Providentially in this year the Great Khan died in Mongolia; the Mongol leaders hastened back the thousands of miles to Karakorum, their capital, to elect his successor, and Western Europe escaped

[Pnx]

Yeah, succession issues are a very typical ways for an empire to fall. Usually empires fall apart due to internal difficulties rather than because they were defeated by an enemy. And even when they are defeated it's usually due to internal difficulties.

If you can concentrate enough to fire a bow on horseback, a spell should be no problem.

If you can concentrate well enough to cast a spell while being smashed in the face by a bandit's hammer you can cast a spell from horseback.

The Dovahkiin is possessed of amazing powers of focus, able to cast spells while having his/her bones broken, receiving a massive electrical shock, enduring the horrible pain of being stabbed or slashed, taking arrows to the knees, eyes, chest, or limbs, and while on fire. Horseback should be no problem.

[Shadowlord]

Shadowmere as well possesses incredible powers of badassery, and should have no problems with you casting spells from horseback.

Of course, my Shadowmere disappeared and stopped following me (after a dragon attack, I think, but he usually survived those just fine). Perhaps he died, although he's supposed to respawn after a week... and then sit where he died until you go find him, but since I have no idea where it happened, I didn't bother wasting time searching for a single horse on the entire map.

[neotemplar]

That dumbass horse always tries to run off and solo dragons...  That is probably what happened.

[Sergius]

When an NPC (probably) bugs out on me, I don't consider cheating to do a player.moveto to find where it is... maybe you can do that with Shadowmere?

[WillowLuman]

I hate this glitch with the CS where, no matter what skin tone you set an NPC to, it makes their face the default (which is some shade of white.) Very annoying if you're trying for a redguard

[Shadowlord]

If there was a console on the XBox version, I would have tried that.

Same boat as me eh? Welcome aboard!

[The Merchant Of Menace]

I wish more Xbox games had developer consoles. Hell, Two Worlds II had one.
