Please explain your issue is in as much detail as possible.
The random, dynamic, and delayed random settings for the Mongol Invasion, Sunset Invasion, Turkic Conquerors, and Major Epidemics always seem to trigger near their earliest possible trigger point rather than being random. More often than not most of them will have triggered within 50 years of them becoming active.

This means that the only feasible option for invasions is to either have them off or historical if you want to play a game on a start date other than 769 and not have them trigger for at least 200 years. Games started later than 1066 do not have any options for a later invasion than 200 years into the game.

The random/dynamic choice is also incredibly unlikely to trigger the invasions/plague at or near their historical spawn times, unless the chosen start date is 100/250 years before their historical arrival.

Very early Mongol or Sunset invasions are especially problematic since there is no possibility that anyone will be able to resist their invasion, as they always spawn with the same amount of event troops. It is functionally impossible for a player who has not taken over most of the world to resist them without having several hundred years to prepare.

Recommended fix is to randomly assign a strict spawn delay when the game starts rather than use MTTH triggers. These should preferably favor a bell-curve for historical outcomes or there should be a rule option that gives a bell-curve for historical times.

Steps to reproduce the issue.
Set Major Epidemic to dynamic or Mongol Invasion, Turkic conquerors, or Sunset Invasion to Random/Delayed Random. Wait for time to pass until they would become active. Note how soon many/most of them trigger.
