All fear The Almighty Khan of The Golden Horde

... Who has just decided he needs to pop back to Mongolia to get some nice yak milk before he conquers Europe.

Ok, so I was just playing as Emperor of the Byzantines when i get the notification that the Golden Horde has invaded, I check up on where they spawn in to see vast swathes(two or three provinces) of the Rus be quickly occupied by the Horde, then all of a sudden the provinces aren't occupied any more but the Golden Horde doesn't own any territory. It seems that they've just given up and gone home.

So will the Horde be coming back for a round 2? or is that just the end of the Golden Horde?

Unless they're holding territory elsewhere that you haven't seen yet it sounds like the Mongols got stopped cold by the Russians.

Never seen that happen.

Perhaps they attacked a rebelling vassal? Something like that happened in one of my games, the Ilkanate arrived and attacked someone already at war who was losing and when they lost the ilkhanate didn't gain any territory and just. sat on the sidelines

From my expirance it does happen sometimes. They are not always able to conquer the first time when they show up, so they will be back once or twice.

edit: also sometimes only Ilkhanate or only Golden Horde go all the way and sometimes both of them succesfuly destroying everyone infront of there ways.

I've seen this. The horde is probably still there, it was for me, as roaming doomstacks that largely just support the Ilkhanate.

Sadly, they are almost as dangerous this way as the other, possibly more as they will never face a rebellion. They never did end up taking their own territory in my game, just helped their mongol cousins blob up through all of russia, poland, hungary....

Well they appeared after all, At the Horn of Africa, they are now trying to take my territory in Egypt but I fought them to a White Peace. I'll get a screenshot of their current position and then as a treat i'll post it

They showed up in Africa? Thats weird lol

In my most recent Roman Empire game the Ilkhanate has taken everything east of syria and north up to Perm. I helped my ally the Empire of Russia fend off the Golden Horde. I am wondering if they will return like for the original poster.

I Guess they through that Russia was a bit too cold

In my current game, I saw Russia form itself for the first time. I thought they would stop the Horde cold, but ended up getting completely wiped out inside of about 50 years or so. Since then they've swallowed Poland and were moving west at a good clip until they became Orthodox. Also, the Ilkhanate has counqured most of Arabia and eastern ERE. With the French and HRE advances in northern Africa, the muslims are almost completely wiped out of my game.
