Mongol Unit Pack is definitely the highlight of the content pack!
The Horse Lords Content Pack for Crusader Kings II is one of the few extra DLCs you can purchase on top of the various expansions. More specifically, it doesn't come with the related Horse Lords expansion.
This DLC nets you a few culture-specific (Mongol, Frankish, Germanic and Italian) 3D models for the military units on the map that represent armies, plus custom portraits for characters of Cuman cultures, and finally Mongol / Steppe themed music that plays when you're playing a ruler of those cultures.
The 3D units are from my experience barely noticeable, whereas the portraits and extra music do an okay job in enriching the experience when playing in the Steppe.
I probably wouldn't recommend this DLC on its own given the price (you need to purchase 2 more Content Packs, namely Conclave and The Reaper's Due, to replace all of the ugly vanilla portraits), but WinGameStore constantly has great prices for Paradox DLCs, which makes completing your CK2 DLC collection much more affordable.
