Another scenario involving Mongolia, this time it goes even further back in time, to 500 BC.
My initial thoughts - Eurasia is theirs. Whether in China, the Achaemenid Empire or in Europe, there's simply nothing to stop the Mongol horde except perhaps diseases in places like South India and Southeast Asia.
So the main question is - how long does the Mongol rule last and what comes out of it?
I can't but think that it is going to last at least for 200 years, perhaps 300 or 400.
As for what comes out of it - there might be an rarlier analogue of the Silk Road springing up after the Mongol conquest but what are the political or technological consequences of the conquest - I don't know.
Any ideas?
