They dealt with worse in China and easily adapted to any hardship, they would have just captured and enlisted enough European locals to adapt like they did with the Chinese. That's what made the Mongols so good.

>By late 1241, Subutai was discussing plans to invade the Holy Roman Empire, when news came of the death of Ögedei Khan. Over the objections of Subutai, the Mongol Princes withdrew the army to Mongolia for the election of a new Great Khan. The death of Ögedei effectively put an end to the Mongol invasion of Europe.
