In this history documentary we bring to life the True Size of the Mongol Army by leveraging the power of Unreal Engine 5. We cover the organization of the Mongol army as well as their war camps, march formations, and battle lines.

The episode begins with the organization of the Mongol Army starting from the level of the Mongol soldier. Generally speaking they came in two flavors, the Mongol horse archer and the Mongol horse lancer. These would be grouped into decimal units of increasing size: The Arban (10), the Jaghun (100), the Mingghan (1,000), the Tumen (10,000), and the Chun (30,000). Each of these brought with the additional animals, support staff, and supplies. We bring these all together in various stances from parade rest, to camp life, marching column, and battle order.
