However, they pass through a very dense fog and enter Equestria, just south of Ponyville, which is in the distance. The Mongols decide to invade. They have the high ground initially, and the element of surprise.Quote:

Is this going to become a trend? These "What if pony" questions should really be in ponythread...
The Mongols will probably kill plenty of ponies in the first few engagements, but in the long run they will be cremated. Pegasi controlling weather means they can make storms wherever the Mongols are (lightning and high winds, the lightning kills people, the wind makes their bows useless). Drop some tornadoes down in the middle of their ranks and put snow in front of them to slow their advance, and retract your own population to Canterlot (which is wonderfully situated on the side of a cliff).
I would go so far as to say that even guns aren't going to work well in Equestria, much less horse-archers. Remember, the Nazi's were stalled by winter in modern times. The wreckage of an invading medieval would be total and complete.
The Mongols bribe the ponies with whatever ponies like, get some pegasus horse archers, go back to Earth and conquer.
Elegant. I like it.Quote:

Not god-like, but actual gods.
I think in the end Genghis will bow down and worship her holiness.
Wiki:
The wind horse is an allegory for the human soul in the shamanistic tradition of Central Asia. In Tibetan Buddhism, it was included as the pivotal element in the center of the four animals symbolizing the cardinal directions and a symbol of the idea of well-being or good fortune. It has also given the name to a type of prayer flag that has the five animals printed on it.
The national emblem of Mongolia:

Logical conclusion:
Sorry guys, no versus. As soon as the army sees talking flying ponies, they'll all get off their steeds and start praying.
Edit: In fact I'm ready to start thinking that the OP's situation actually happened.
Edit 2: Be proud, guys. The Golden Horde were also bronies.
Wow... Just, wow.Quote:

Its appearance is supposed to bring peace, wealth, and harmony. The ritual invocation of the wind horse usually happens in the morning and during the growing moon."
That's the third "what if X and Equestria...." thread you started. Maybe give it a rest? I don't mean to be rude, but I think one thread is enough, seeing as how all have only one or two pages.
What, FIM ponies also have gemstones or something?
I guess we'll have more of a chance of Robin fighting Batman.
No wait, that actually did happen...
The first episode, at least, shows the main cast wielding magical jewels, "elements of harmony", to restore peace and balance to the world.
It would take awhile for the Equestrians to form an opposition, considering that a group of young girls can combat more threats then their standing army. Between access to magic, racial unity, and the control of the weather I'm sure the barbarians would have to fall back eventually.:smallamused:
The centaurs?
80% of them with at least some Khan's genes.
Someone clearly installed the Civ V Equestria mod recently... :smalltongue:
Wait what's this about centaurs?
There are centaurs in FIM??
Nope.Quote:

Here, we go chaps, the most probably result of said thread question, as rendered by Ponythread, at my suggestion...!
Warning: What follows is Stupidly Awesome (or possibly Awesomely Stupid depending on why side of the Pony/nonPony you fall into...!)
(S'better than I could do, at any rate...)Quote:

I'm not exactly a fan of ponies, but that's stupidly awesome nonetheless.
We'd get some new Epic Rap Battles of History/Equestria Crossover action, for starters.
Clearly we need to set them up against WH40k and/or the Culture...Quote:

Horses are incredibly valuable to the mongol society. Killing ponies would be like putting all your money on a pile and burning it.
Talking horses are probably less 'Ghengis Khan makes a military decision' and more 'Ghengis Khan calls up all his shamans, religious advisors and holy men and asks them what the hell'.
For this reason I could see them becoming allied with other anti-Chaos factions, possibly. I mean hey, no doubt the God-Emperor of Man used to ride a horse in the olden days.Quote:
