Wow, I have a busy weekend and miss all this?! So so cool, the amount of thought you've put into this! Loving it!
I think the idea of balloons and horns is brilliant. Really practical, and would give a massive tactical advantage. I'd also add hang gliders or parachutes to the mix too, as they've enough peaks to throw themselves off - Also, way sneakier and could add small bombs too! Chaos and confusion to our enemies! Mwahahaha! (Oops, slipped into character again! Lol)
The impact lances sound cool. I see them being useful against tanks and armour suits especially. The other 'old-tech' thing I remember about Mongols is the recurve bow and mounted archers...you can get a hell of a lot of power behind these if used right. I don't think they'd be any use against the big suits, but they could still do some damage to the average squaddie, if sharp tipped and used with skill. Besides, if they are familiar with this sort of skill, then they'll be a decent shot with a rifle from horseback too (and we know horses can be trained for this sort of duty, as they have been for centuries). And they'll have the long term practice from protecting herds from predators.
I'll post more as I think of it. =)
