This was the thread I got when I googled ck2 mongol strat lol.So they will DoW me and take all they occupy when the score hits 100%?Basically is it better too have kingdoms in the east or no?
Get a high-diplomacy chancellor, stick him on their capital to improve relations. If you can keep opinion near +100 they aren't likely to attack you.
Oh long dead thread, arise from your grave...
I'm mostly waiting around for the mongols in my Roman Empire game. I heard the greek cataphracts cultural retinue was effective against them.

Most well built retinues should be.
As I recall, the best counters are Scottish Schiltrons (force melee phase as early as possible, since they have no skirmish tactics and the Schiltron Formation tactic is so powerful as to counter pretty much everything) and straight LC/Camels (West Slavic/Magyar Hussars, Arabic Camel Warriors, or Iberian Cabelleros) because their Harass tactics have an advantage over the Mongols' Swarm tactics.
Cataphracts might work, but HC/HA doesn't seem like it would bring any particular advantage over the Mongols' LC and HA heavy stacks, and Gussars, Cataphracts, and Knights are expensive retinues, both in reinforcement costs and in retinue cap.

They invade de jure kingdoms, with the Tribal Invasion CB. It doesn't matter if the kingdom currently does not exist, how you divide up your land does not matter. They can invade Rus, as an example, even when Rus doesn't exist.
"Necromancy" isn't liked by most people on this forum, hence why you've been having issues with replies. If the thread is too old, just create a new thread. By the way, you seem to be confused about a lot of game mechanics, it'd probably help to watch some tutorials on youtube (Arumba has some, as well as other youtubers I'm sure) just to clear some things up.
Ok thanks Its been a year or so since I played.I def need a refresher lol.I didn't get a very good grip on the game then either I was creating an Empire to play on EUIV so I was in as hurry hehe.
I have some idea be friend with mongol if pope crusade with mongol never join is deathtrap for crusader i send chacellor to improve diplomacy and i attemp to changed them to become catholic but they become reformed tengri but atleast they are not muslim ps.i have another rus castle in my capital after my rival ruthenia crushed by golden horde castle is now belonged to gooden horde i think their changed castle into yurt.
I'm so scared reading this. Playing a Rus game and I have about half of the kingdom of ruthenia and almost all the Dejure rus. Last time I played as ruthenia in a similar situation it looks like I got lucky and they didn't dow me for 150 years. But the more I read this the more I think it was all luck and I'm preparing for the worse. If you swear fealty to the Mongols (or maybe the Holy Roman Empire as a defensive strategy?) do you keep your own de facto vassals? Or do you lose your vassals that aren't de jure. I don't want to throw away 300 years of gameplay by swearing fealty if that's the case
wait what? the mongols actually did something in your game? in my games they usually just sit in the top right corner of the world and do nothing...
nevermind just realized this thread has been necro to hell and back

What an awesome story about the mongol invasion and its split into the Golden horde and illkalhanate. Very say this feature is long dead.
Since conclave the Mongols do fine in my games till they reach 100% threat. The AI is not able to handle world wars even with 120k troops.
With TRD with live in times where dead rise from the grave and threads are immortal!Whoa this thread wont stay dead will it?
