How the Mongols nomadic lifestyle influenced their battel strategies.

A warrior relied on his herd to provide him with staple foods of milk and meat; hide for their bowstrings, shoes and armor; dried dung (dried poop) to be used as fuel for his fire (poop is flammable); hair for rope, battle standards, musical instruments and helmet decorations; milk also used for shamanistic ceremonies to ensure victory; and for hunting and entertainment that often served as military training. If he died in battle, a horse would sometimes be sacrificed with him to provide a mount for the afterlife.
