On your UHV ideas: where's the challenge in controlling Russia and China when you've already steamrolled all of Europe as the Huns? Also, "be alive in X AD" is a rather redundant goal because you obviously have to be alive to win the game.
I suppose the challenge would to keep (or reconquer them) after the Russian, German, and Turkish (plus any barbs/indipendents representing Bulgars, Magyars, etc) spawn. The Vikings could also be encouraged to try to advance into Central and Eastern Europe, to represent those Varangians that didn't become the Rus. I suppose the tricky bit, for a programming perspective, would be to ensure that the Hunnish conquests didn't also trigger the "Mongol" UHV.
Other than that, without advertising myself too much, have you taken a look at my mod yet? It hasn't fully achieved the accuracy for the steppe peoples you strive for, but at least it features Mongols that are a whole lot more active and regularly conquer China, parts of Russia and the Middle East.
Not yet, but I'll give it a go.
