the horse is decidedly female, the airag kotun drinks during the cutscene is made from her milk


* At one point, Khotun mentions slaughtering his favourite horse and feeding it to his men because it broke a leg. While this might seem callous at first, a broken leg would've meant a slow, painful death for the horse, as it needed the pressure on its hooves for its circulatory system to work properly. By granting the horse a MercyKill and feeding it to its men, thus preventing its body from going to waste, Khotun had acted in a way consistent with the Mongol culture's respect for their herd animals (not to mention the common-sense considerations of feeding a hungry army on campaign).

* It's subtle, but on the Playstation controller, the button symbols to select the various styles are symbolic of the specific type of weapon each style is favoured to counter. The Shield is selected with the circle button, the X button matches up well against pure blade-wielders (who have a unique sub-class of enemy who uses DualWielding and who typically holds both blades in an 'x' fashion), the Triangle button is indicative of the point of a spear head, and it's matched up against spear-wielding fighters, and the square button is for heavy-type enemies, who are sometime seen using square-headed hammers to fight Jin.

* It is often said that the Mongols invasions changed the Samurai warfare forever; this can be explained by the Samurai, realizing the tactical inferiority of the "honorable" way after seeing how effective Jin's methods are, then gradually getting more and more pragmatic over the centuries with the few that refused to change dying out (think natural selection). This later culminated in the Sengoku Era, where pragmatism was pretty much the norm with trickery, espionage, and assassination being extremely common practices, and not even mentioning the arrival of rifles which changed the Samurai warfare even more.
