The year is 1180, and I'm sitting comfortably in Granada in the newly created Empire of Hispania. I know that the Aztecs will be knocking on my door, but when/where? What is the date range and geographical location possibilities?

Also, since the player already knows that the Aztecs will be coming, I think there should be a feature that allows them to come at ANY interval in the game. They should also come in different strengths (e.g., anywhere between a minor forces and a soul-crushing Genghis Khan scourge). Basically, anything to make them more random if possible.

Not a clue. They seem to come from all over. Though mostly seem to land in Ireland in my games. And I heard of them landing in Iceland.

I think the Aztecs do not appear before 1250. And that they can land on the whole western coast; I have seen them land in Mauretania,Portugal,Aquitaine,Ireland and Iceland.

I normally see one wave land in Ireland or Iceland, and the second wave land in Iberia somewhere. 1250 sounds about right, they usually come before 1300 iirc.

They can land in Mauretania, Iberia, Aquitaine, Brittany, Ireland, England, Scotland, Iceland, and Norway. They come in two waves, so you can have the first in Mauretania, and the second in Iceland.

Usually Iceland for me, after which they easily take over the rest of Norway and have free passage into Scanvinavia and the rest of Europe.

I have to disagree with your idea of having the possibility of having them appear at any interval. Perhaps only after 1000 of something, because if you play from 867 it wouldn't make sense for them to invade before they get longboats from the vikings in Vinland.

Yeah they turn up anywhere on the western coast from any point from 1250. I've seen them land in Iceland, Ireland, Aquitaine, Morocco and Portugal, they also land in two waves, in my experience it's mostly been Iceland and Morocco.
