You need to think in greater detail. History is not as simple as you imagine.
Stick to discussing sports (simple enough for you to understand).
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mongol_invasion_of_Europe
"The Mongol armies, ferocious though they were, ultimately failed to translate their light cavalry power from the semi-temperate and desert regions where it flourished in to the high-rainfall zone of Western Europe.
Whenever [they] encountered... peoples living by intensive agriculture, accumulating thereby food surpluses which enabled them to sustain campaigns longer than the foraging nomads ever could, and breeding on their rich grasslands horses which outmatched the nomad pony in battle, [they] had to admit defeat.
Light cavalry conquerors were in time either forced back into the arid environment where nomadism flourished, as on the borders of Western Europe, or, as in China, corrupted by the softness of agricultural civilization and absorbed by it."

It was Ögedei Khan's death, not his father that caused them to turn back. Genghis had been dead for a long time.

Freedom2111 I see what you meant now when you asked if Tyrion said "Flee, you idiot" to Jamie. He did. He said both, flee you idiot and you ****ing idiot. Which I thought he just said twice. Heard it better with 1080p quality.

Next 3 episode lengths:
59 minutes
71 minutes - I imagine ****'s going to pop off worse than Episode 4.
81 minutes - This episode will probably be GoT on steroids.

Best episode so far this season, finally shiz is hitting the fan. Tyrion looks like he's gonna switch sides to me though man lol.
The scene with Little finger and the raven sound in the back. That dude cannot be trusted but I have a feeling none of us can predict what it is. Something fishy here lads.
