Uhm, I hope you made a mistake in writing up some of these answers, 'cause they're not all correct...

Subotai (or Subedei) was actually Genghis's most important general. He was one of the two "dogs of war", together with Chepe. If anyone was a more brilliant commander than Genghis it was him. It was Subedei who lead the European conquests of the Mongols (among other things).
Surely every brother and his mother knows that Genghis's real name is Temujin?

That should be 4 actually: Kipchak/Golden Horde khanate in Russia, the Il-Khanid khanate in Persia, the Yuan dynasty in China and the Chaghadai khanate in Central Asia. The division was already made by Genghis himself around 1227 but these were intended to be 'provinces', parts of the same empire. By the 14th century these khanates grew so far apart they were pretty much independent...

BTW, I submitted the China questions myself, so I'm not defening my own wrong answers here

I agree with what you say Locutus. The non-Temujin thing must be a misprint on Mark's part. And yes, the Mongols actually broke into four different Khanates. I thought about messaging Mark about that myself, but I was lazy and just voted for three.

Um, I am not sure you have the Mongol answers correct.
As Locutus pointed out, isn't Temujen and 4 (not three). It matters to me because that is what I had but I would assume at this point it is probably too late to switch who gets the game.

Because I won. Sorry.
I'm happy about it, though. It's been a long time since I was interested in an RTS. I'm usually a Turn-based man, myself

Hmmm, no official response to Locutus' post. Like I said, I don't think things can or should necessarily be switched but it would be good to hear a response.

Oh, well. 
yeah, did you miss something! 'Twas a competition for some 5 copies of RoN beta. 
That's what I was thinking! Even lurking the different RoN forums takes up too much time, what would have happened to my grades, if I actually won one?
