When meeting a Mongol for the first time, what should you ask him?

Yes. The first 12 cadre (a hordlette if you will) appear on turn 3 and are then brought up to full strength with the additional 25 appearing between turns 6 and 10. They will appear in downtown Ulan Bator.

Ah the Mongolian prog rock group Gengis and the Hordettes. Not featured in the game sadly - yes I know, a staggeringly poor omission by the codesters of the game but......

When do the hordettes appear?
They appear alongside the horde. If one appears, then so does the other. Historically, only the horde is counted, and then you know the number of hordettes as well. And the reason for this type of counting is because the horde arrived slightly before the hordettes and made an armed impression.

Why not? The Dutch had Dutchettes, recognizable by their closets full of wooden shoes (klompen).

One would think that. But, no, not really. Because technically the term 'viking' wasn't the people in, or from, Scandinavia. It was for the people going viking. Hence, a vikette would actually be a Viking as well.

The difference between a Viking, and a Norseman, is that the first is what he currently do, and the second is a group of people. For example: A Viking is a Norseman who go in viking (seafaring trade, raiding, or settling foreign land).

Although I should perhaps say that the female Viking might more commonly be referred to as a 'shield-maiden'.
