Has anyone done a Mongol world empire timeline yet?

With variable definitions for world, of course.

The Mongols are a great AH topic because they were so fearsome, so successful, so strangely militarily advanced and pragmatically tolerant by the standards of their era. The idea of them creating huge empires is tantalizing because they tended to sweep away the tribal frictions of religion and culture of their day, caring only about sheer power. One could see a similar impulse for blobbing in considering alternate careers for Alexander the Great, or Napoleon.

The closest one I've seen is the Mongol world empire in Doug Hoff's unsurpassed Empty America.
 
(redirecting from this thread): So the biggest problem with all that is that the Mongols had a real issue in staying functionally united, and beyond that, having stable government. Most of the post-Khublai Empire can be safely summed up as "in perpetual succession crisis" regardless whether in Persia, Russia or China. If something happens thrice it's a trend, if something happens all the time, well, by standards of medieval history it may as well be a law of nature. So I would imagine that much like OTL it's a story of a conquest and successor states, primarily.
