Well, you seem to forget that humans can improve as time goes on, and a crap soldier won't be as bad if he keeps at it for some time. As such, logistics could be a big help by allowing soldiers to stay on the field and test their skills, as well as ensure they'll be fed and watered enough to stay satisfied and continue to fight and improve. As a plus, if you have good logistics you can always draw more bodies from your lands to throw at the enemy :P

    @abis8 alpha8 300-500 is max range, and utterly useless number for military effective shooting. IRL, most archers fired at around 100m distance, regardless of bow type. As to the comparison, bow do a lot less damage than muskets, and muskets as early as the late 16th century often utterly destroyed horse archers when directly engaged, simply because of troop positioning, area of attack, and fire focus. Ottoman archers most often dismounted when engaging musketmen, because foot archers actually fared better, for the above mentioned reasons. Even the foot archers would lose of course, which is why the Jannisaries replaced their elite bows with muskets as soon as they could, but more effective than mounted archery regardless.

Firing arrows at 500 yards is utterly useless, in fact, the very point horse archers made throughout history is to come as close as possible to the enemy and fire their bows, because long ranged volleys seemed ineffective. Hell, Saladins Turks actually even dismounted after closing in at Arsuf because they wanted a more effective shot. Max range is utterly useless for military data. Hell, max range of a musket is likely 1000+ yards, as that is how far the bullet can go with hurting you, yet they fired around 100 yards, for the same reason as above.

    I would like you to mention the Mongolian-Uighur relationship as well. In the Mongol Empire, bureaucrats were chosen from the Uighurs. They are the steppe people with a well-established writing culture. When the Mongols met the Uighurs, they took advantage of this culture. Uighurs were involved in writing and archiving documents and reports, military mapping, writing orders, and managing the budget and taxes. They made important contributions to the foundation of the Mongol Empire. Later, as the Mongols settled in China and Iran, the indigenous people here began to enter the brocracy

In cold Russian winter they passed easily frozen rivers and lakes on horseback, putting sheep oil over riders skin to protect from cold weather and sustaining only by mare milk and blood they attacked the unexpected Slavic villages when they are staying in houses warming by the fire. They must be thinking that Mongols are actually demons not humans to be attack in such conditions Lol:)

    Think what happened to Alexanders empire. Some of the Mongol dynasties still remained afterwards as the rulers of the lands they conquered. In Russia you had mongol dynasties that married into the Belozero and eventually the Mongol tax city of Moscow, due to Mongol support, became powerful enough on its own that it was able to overthrow the Mongols. In many ways its amazing, two of the world's most powerful cities (Moscow and Beijing) owe their existence basically to the Mongols

    Brilliant documentary... and yet we succumb to our sedentary way of thinking in assessing these nomadic cultures by judging them thru our capabilities and needs. Genghis' marched his armies (on campaigns) on half rations because 'a dog doesn't hunt well with a bellyful'. We always disregard the toughness of mongols (nomadic warriors in general) as impossible and rely on calculations and estimations of their deeds by historians and theorists who barely get out of their chairs and the highlight of their physical exercise is to get to the local shop. Yam couriers covered 280 km a day. In order to surprise their enemies mongol army covered 150 km a day for 9 days with soldiers sleeping and eating (and doing their nature calls) in the saddle. Mongol horsemen didn't entirely rely on commanders to gear them up for war apart from arrows.
