Nomads vs nomads

[Burned Coffee]

In my current game I looked east and noticed the Mongols started conquering a huge area of land which is rather cool, however I noticed that they reached a 4th conquest war against Cumania,once again ending on a white peace, The Cumanian army would be at most 20% the size of the Mongol one.

I was wondering why the mongols would not just rush in.

Without using console commands (I just don't know them) I tried to piece out what is going on. It seems it is a weird priority issue and a problem with splitting armies, The mongols get adventurer attacks every now and then, they have more than enough troops to deal with all of it, but they don't seem to split troops.

Since Cumania is huge and they had other wars going on they did not engage with the mongols, so the mongols try to reach the capital but stop halfway to go back and deal with an adventurer that they would murder immediately and try again.

The warscore barely moved from the 15% mark for years.

I am not mad or anything since the Mongols are still expanding pretty well and have a huge impressive army, but I found it funny that they seem unable to deal with another smaller horde just because of the size of their land.

It is a general problem where the AI tend not to prioritize it's wars very well, thus even smaller raids will sometimes distract them, even though there is no long term danger. This becomes worse if its "hordes" which have very large event based stacks moving about.
