Like the title says, I will be event spawning the horde in 1066 and see what damage they wreak on the European kingdoms. First post to follow.

Here we go:
Europe 1066
History as we know it changed in 1066 when the Hungarian boy-king saw this:
(Unfortunately, I didn't screenshot the Ilkhanate arriving.)
Panic soon spread through the eastern steppes as Khiva and Oghuz fell first.
The next nation to face the hordes' wrath was Seljuk-controlled Persia. Luckily for the Turks, the hordes weren't working together. Despite this setback, the Ilkhanate would win anyway.
Even with the loss of Khiva, the Turks continued their campaign into Anatolia, securing victory after the war to the east was over.
This last image shows a 2nd war, one that would end in the dismantling of the Seljuk Kingdom.
Meanwhile, to the North, kingdom after kingdom fell to the Golden Horde.
In 10 years, the hordes had pushed as far as Baghdad, but now there were stronger opponents: the Byzantines, Kiev, and the Fatamids.
The warriors had, in the meantime, begun to settle down and colonize Europe.
And that's it for this update. Tune in next time to see the further collapse of Europe.

You mean long live the Khans, don't you. Although if the Timurids come in during late game... There can be only one.
I've always had a weird glitch where when I spawn the Timurids, I lose the game instantly.
Would be fun to see the Aztecs and the Mongols duke it out with one another!That's strange...
So, no aztecs?
P.S:More like the Aztecs get butchered by the Mongols. Duke it out sounds as though there was a struggle.
I didn't have sunset invasion on, but I could go ahead and spawn them in, too.
Expect Axtecs in 1100, thats my plan.

A horrible world to be a christian then
or muslim... orthodox... anyone really...
You're right about that

In history, there are those times where you tell the glory of empires, but then there are those where you tell of the devastation of empires. The greatest nations in Europe in 1076 were the Golden Horde, Ilkhanate,Kiev,Norway,the HRE,Byzantium,The Fatimids,and France. By 1086, the end of today's lesson, only the Golden Horde, the HRE,Byzantium,France, and Ilkhanate remained.
The cycle begins with the largest of the Rurikovich princes, the prince of Kiev, losing his lands to the Golden Horde. He was the only power left in Russia that could stop the Mongols, and his empire fell like a castle of cards.
Meanwhile the first Khan of the Golden Horde died, and unlike some ahistorical reports presented by other historians, the horde did not turn around to elect a new ruler. Instead, the greatest among them seized power, preventing a power struggle.
To the south, the Khan of Persia, Ghunan, fought one of the remaining Persian vassals, in an attempt to cleanse his empire of heathens.
After these brief periods of relative respite, The Duchy of Perm and the Uyunid Emirate found themselves the next morsels for the hungry hordes. At this point England was going through a round of civil wars while a Norwegian Waldensian Boy king ruled in Lancaster.
And so the Cumans and the Fatimids were attacked. The Cumans would collapse shortly after.
The Byzantines use the lack of powerful neighbors to their advantage, retaking most of Anatolia.
Meanwhile, the last of the Seljuks attempt to piece together an existence in Oman, a sad way for their dynasty to end.
After two pitched battles between the Fatimids and the Ilkhanate, Arabian forts began to fall en masse.
Most historians consider the invasion of Arabia as the last chance anyone had of stopping the Mongols. After that, the levies from the Mongol Empires would be too much.
To the north, the threat of the hordes came home when the Armies of the Golden Horde stuck at Galich, opening a hole into Poland and Hungary.
The strength of the hordes 1086. While the growth was a lot slower in this cycle, their main enemies were crushed.
The Mongols' culture and religion followed their people as more Mongols settled in Persia and in Russia. Every lord in the Golden Horde was of Mongol descent, excepting a single count.
On a side note, the republic of Cherson is doing real well for itself.

Merchants always find a way to thrive...will they become a mongolian republic once conquered?
If they don't, I'll simply change around the titles so they do become a Mongolian republic.
