a Timelapse of the Mongol Empire
The Mongol Empire, led by Ghengis Khan Temujin, starts with all but one province of the kingdoms of Mongolia and Khotan, as well as the duchies of Zhetysu and Samarkand. They start with a Mongol Invasion of the Sultanate of Persia, and about 51,000 event troops in the 1220 "The Mongols" start. They, like the Magyars, are playable in ironman mode without cheats. Their initial holdings are nearly all nomadic, with the exception of the feudal duke of Karashar in the de jure kingdom of Khotan.
Temujin initially appears as the new ruler of the Khaganate of Khangai in 1196 and as the ruler of the newly created Mongol Empire in 1204, covering the kingdom of Mongolia and part of Khotan.
Hordes are perhaps the most dangerous enemy in Crusader Kings II. They have access to the Tribal Invasion casus belli and have or gain event troops. The leader of a horde always appears before the army and starts unlanded, unless the horde already exists when you start the game.
In January of the year 1215, you will get a rather ominous message telling you of rumors of a Khan of Khans in the east. This is the game's way of telling you that everything you know and love about your insignificant kingdom/empire/duchy will be utterly destroyed, or, more formally, that the Mongols are about to arrive on the scene. All will be quiet, however, until May of 1218, at which time you will receive a second message telling you that the Scourge has arrived, and if you examine the Khan's character page, which is accessible from his portrait in the message, you will see that he has invaded Persia (as historically happened when the Persians dismissed the Khan's diplomats, rather against their better judgement). For now, the Europeans are safe; the Hordes are not coming your way just yet. The Ilkhanate will then come bearing at least 121 thousand troops to invade Persia and will usually be successful with that. Usually with the original version you will get those 121 thousand troops, however, with the new patches, you won't get those courtiers and troops any longer. The Ilkhanate will attempt to invade many Muslim (and non-Muslim) nations across the Middle East and will usually succeed, starting with Khiva and it will keep going to Mesopotamia (and, in some cases, the Mediterranean coast). Unfortunately, the Ilkhanate doesn't conquer alone...
