The Ilkhanate?

[Caspian Mortis]

So I was playing as the New Persian Empire spanning fron Greece to Yemen to India when I got some message about the Mongol invasion of China. A few years later several Mongol doomstacks show up and conquer Dihistan and Sogdiana plus some other desert counties, though I managed to reduce their forces to 60k troops. A few years later I reclaim Dihistan from them and reduce their forces to nearly zero, though they still control three of my former satrapies.

The question is, are there any more events spawning doomstacks in the near future or can I just sit back and take back my territory one by one untul the Ilkhanate is destroyed? The year is 1223.

Also, are there any more hordes that will spawn anywhere near the territory of the old Persian Empire?

And any tips to counter them in the future, as I lost nearly 200k troops in 8 years or something. They don't suffer attrition and I can't makr my own doomstacks so I don't have many choices left.

I've only ever seen one Mongol invasion spawn. You should be safe now.

The Timurids will come with doomstacks if the ilkhanate controls certain provinces.

The Wiki says:

"Timurids
Timur Timurid arrives as a courtier in any duke or higher mongol realm in the de jure Empire of Persia between 1350-1370. Following the same pattern as Seljuk did, he will start his adventure after 9 years, using a duchy_adventurer CB against the owner of (in descending order and part of a different realm): Merv, Khorasan, or an equal chance of one of three provinces (Dihistan, Samarkand, Balkh). He starts with roughly two times his target's troops, although no lower than 3000 and no higher than 60,000. Upon success, he creates the Empire-level titular title of the Timurids and will gain new event troops totaling ~40,000, with a 50% chance each of six more armies of 5,098.

From the year 1370, any king or higher independent leader of Timurid's dynasty has a chance at triggering a "revitalization" event, decreasing decadence by 75, and spawning ~35,000 new troops, with an addition 10,000 with each level of martial skill at 9, 11, and 13."

As flutter siad the timurds but theres also the aztecs if you have the dlc installed, they come around that time. while they wont bother you the disease they bring is one of the few in this version of the game that really messes you up

The split of the Mongol Empire into the Ilkhanate and the Golden Horde is dead. These two are only on the map when you start in a year were they are already here. I think Timur is also dead. There were several thread about this topic in the past (here and here) and nobody seen Timur appear in there games. Mostly because the Mongols are not able to conquer large amounts of Persian regions and hold them for very long and very few people start a late-game palythrough.

I've seen them hold fergana, but even then Timur died in battle before achieving anything towards an independent realm.
However, chances are, OP will stomp the Mongols out of Persia Long before the late 1300s, so he won't even appear.
How does Seljuk appear? Haven't seen him since HL...

Timur can appear, but the old double Mongol hordes (Golden Horde and Ilkhanate) are no more. Unless of course you start with them on the map. It was changed into one Mongol Empire horde in the patch alongside Horse Lords, if I'm not mistaken.

Spoiler: Here's a Timur from a relatively recent game

I happen to like the occassional late game start.

Timur appeared in my last game on 2.4.5 when I went for the Khan of Khans achievement. Luckily, I spotted him in time and granted him a kingdom, which preventend yet another tedious defensive war.

Timur the lame The first screenshot from him. But is this his dynasty shield, or did it change because of conversation to orthodox?

I tried to start a few late-game starts but I didn't find any fun goal to accomplish to play to the last start date.
