Yes to absolutely everything you've said, especially the shipping lanes. I was a also little surprised (and relieved) by the weakness of the mongols (mind you, I'd been building a great number of steppes cavalry myself).
I was half tempted to hack the game (increase valour, charge bonuses and so forth), but I'm more into editing games to increase their realism rather than cheat for cheating's sake.
