Mongols aren't coming!

[CanaKraut]

Right now it is 1250 and neither the Ilkhanate nor the Golden Horde have apeared. I haven't even seen the "Khan of Khans" event. I am using the 867 start date. Why aren't they coming?

[ShadoWwolF]

is the pope still around? if something happened and the pope doesnt exist then thats why. as strange as it sounds the mongol events require the pope to be there since normally the pope is supposed to always exist. otherwise it could just be bad luck, theres always a very small chance the mongols just never show up

[CanaKraut]

IS there a console command to make the event happen? It's really boring without Mongols.
Oh, and apperantly there is no pope. Might have happened when I took rome as Norse Francia.

[ShadoWwolF]

you could just use console to give the papacy to someone and hope that it isnt too late for the mongol events to happen. even when not playing christians you should make sure the pope always exists because no pope means no mongols

Try event 60000, if not then 60001.

[CanaKraut]

Tried event 60000, in the thing it said I need to be catholic. Tried 60001, said it needed to be before 1224. Guess there are no mongols this game. Thanks for the help though!

I just tried event 60000 as a zoroastrian persian and i got the event, even if the console says you don't meet the requirements it will still execute regardless.

[CanaKraut]

But the event for them to recieve their armies can't execute, because it doesn't meet the required date.

I don't think event 60001 works, but if you do 60000 and wait, the mongols should arrive, the titles are created, so they have their rulers now. I did the same thing with the aztecs, I got tired of waiting so I decided to make them come early (they decided to spawn on my capital).
If it doesn't work then I apologize for not being able to help further.

this is different from the aztecs. the mongol events for getting their event troops and declaring an invasion have a cut off date where after that date they wont happen and they wont invade

I was under the impression regardless of requirements you could force it through the console.

Quick, off topic question: If you controlled the entirety of europe, would you let there be kings? Because for the life of me I can't keep 19 kings happy at once.
Edit: 19 kings.

I'd split the strongest into duchies, and the let the weakest rule as kings, I'd also find it really hard to manage all of europe as kingdoms. Especially with the new -25 penalty.

Also, my only source of income is feudal taxes, so I'm not really on good terms with them.
Ought to be an interesting downfall.

in the future this is why you should just keep the pope around so that the events happen normally and everything keeps working instead of becoming broken

as for kings i used to keep kings around before the "vassal king" opinion penalty. you should avoid kings in your de jure empire because they'll desire the empire. also its easier to keep them happy if you have elective succession because it makes vassals happy as long as you dont have too many elector titles

[CanaKraut]

I honestly didn't think you could get rid of the pope. And I believe it was my Vassal, the king of Italy, who took Rome. Vassals ruin everything, can't wait to convert to centralized EUIV!
