Steve,
         Interesting weapons mix for the Mongols, I would have thought that an emphasis on Missiles would have been the choice--given the Mongol emphasis on the Composite Bow.  They used archery like no others in the Medieval World.  The Long range composite bow could reach a range of 800 yards according to some scholars--I rather doubt that range, but it was capable of penetrating the European armor of the 13th century.  

         Just an observation not a complaint.

That's a good point. I picked particle accelerators because partly because I intend the Mongols to field small ships with a heavy punch but also because the Roman had lasers and the Vikings had missiles and the Mongols were the third race I created. The British went for industry and no weapon tech to simulate them being the first industrial power. I'll probably add additional races as I add new weapons.

I thought that particle accelerators had been chosen for all the reasons you listed for missiles.  Mounting large, yet relatively slow-firing, particle accelerators means the Mongol ships need to be fast, trying to control the range, swooping in and out of firing postion, punching through enemy armour with one salvo and then retreating to recharge weapons and shields.  Standing toe-to-toe and slugging is the Roman Legion's way.  Strike, swirl, fade away only to turn and strike again - that is the Mongol way.

        The Mongols were far from the unsophisticated army protrayed by Hollywood or bad novelist or historians.  In fact they were one of the most sophisticated military systems since the Roman Empire--They conquered Sung China with an army of only 100,000 men organized into ten Tumen's of ten thousand each--Each Tuman was organized into ten Battalions of 1000 men, with ten companies of 100 men, with ten platoons of ten men.  Each soldier had two or three horses trained to ride along side him, the soldier could change mounts at the gallop, and had two composite bows--one for long range, one for short.  His quiver held various arrows designed for armor piercing, incendiary, explosive, signal, and for use against unarmored men.  He carried a sabre, and a Lance.  He had the stirrup for shock weapons--the Lance, and his army operated on a scale like no other in the Medieval World.  The Mongol Army routinely operated on an operational front of 400 miles, with formations operating in concert to defeat the enemy.

      They did us the feinted withdrawal to draw an enemy into chasing them until their horses tired, then turning to crush the exhausted enemy with multiple attacks.  

      Mongol discipline was a severe and harsh as the Roman Army (Romans had 23 different crimes that led to the death penalty--sleeping on guard duty being one).  The last thing you did was to kill a Mongol Ambassador--usually led to the death of everyone in your town or city.  

      So Missile Weapons would be appropriate to the Mongols, but the Particle Beams might fit this bill as well.  

By the way, a Mongol Archer could put up to eight Arrows into the Air before the first hit the target.  Their weapons outranged even the English (really welsh) Long Bow.
