When does Archaon spawn?

[The One True Morty]

What triggers end times? What are the factors?

In my Orc playthrough, Archaon didnt show up till turn 110 but during my Dwarf playthrough, he showed up around 70! I DIDNT EVEN HAVE TOWNHALL 5!!!

Is it amount of lands? Power? Units? Enemies slaughtered? Any help on how to ascertain his arrival will be most welcome <3

I had heard that early spawn is based on overall power. Though how strong you need to be is a mystery to me. I have only seen them at turns 51 and 101.

I'm not entirely sure yet.
From what I understand, he has two triggers, one being a set amount of turns, the other being related to your imperium level.
Thing is, I've yet to find anything ingame on my imperium level :-/
Personally, I feel like it's one of two things, either having a certain amount of settlements or tied to these chapter quests for razing / looting individual settlements.
I'm not sure which one I feel like it is, imperium level would hint towards amount of settlements.
As greenskins / dwarfes on very hard, he seems to spawn once I cross 30 settlements at the latest, which usually also pushes me up to or through the last chapter quest, so I've yet to test this any further.

That said, no townhall 5 in turn 70 is kinda slow, even if you were playing dwarfs :>

first wave comes at around turn 50 second 100
depending on how many main quests you finished(the ones where the blind guy talks about how mighty you've become) they come in a little bit later or sooner.

I just had a turn 68 spawn of Archaon as the Greenskins on Very Hard. I've secured 8 provinces in their entirety and have holdings in 3 more, though I'm still running around with fairly weak armies. I'm thinking Archaon will smash through the north in 20 or so turns.

[Smiling "Lucky" Lynx]

I honestly don't know. I've seen him at such random times in my campaigns that it leads me to believe he really is random...Or buggy. I've had different factors everytime that didn't seem to matter. I've had him come way too late a few times and he just gets smashed which is...Kinda funny.

"Hur, I'm the everchosen!"...*smashed by a huge Empire that is A.I and didn't even need my help*

I am using a Bretonnia unlocker turn 142 and Archaon is still yet to appear. I have already burned down half of Norsca to pass the time. However this mod doesn't have any Chapter Objectives so no blind man for me. Could this mean the everchosen never appears?

[Trollbi-Wan Kenobi]

Turn 143, half of Norsca is destroyed. All of Bretonnia and The Wasteland are mine. Grunburg, Helmgart, Nuln, Castle Templehof, Castle Drakenhof, Fort Ostrosk, Fort Straghov and Praag belong to me. Archaon arrived with Birdman and I am on Very Hard

He spawned at turn 32 for me.

I think there's some hidden metric that's assigning you hidden "points" based on a bunch of factors. Once you cross a hidden threshold, Chaos comes.

yeah ive gotten him at 32 too, i can definitly say going to 30 settlements / past 30 makes him show up within a few turns.

I just had a chaos invasion spawn at turn 30 as the orcs. I dont have any agents atm and my armies are basic. Im actually wondering if i should restart or just keep going.

All my Empire, Bretonnia, Dwaves and Elven games I can expect around turn 60 they start to attack. But my few Greenskin games they invade around turn 30
