	— Description of forming Timurid Empire

The Timurid Empire is a formable added in the July 2020 update alongside 36 other formables, it is a formable that is formed by Uzbekistan. It is a relatively difficult formable due to Iran and Russia both being highly likely to invade you at any given moment as well as the fact that you will require Iran which can be a pain due to its highly mountainous terrain. It isn't common to see Timurid Empire being formed in a public server due to its sheer difficulty.

It borders Kazakhstan, China, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Turkey, Jordan and Russia.

Forming the Timurid Empire in game will grant you the title Gurkani.

History

The following is taken from Wikipedia which is licensed under CC-BY-SA 4.0. You can view the article it was taken from here.

The Timurid Empire was a Persianate Turco-Mongol empire comprising modern-day Uzbekistan, Iran, the southern Caucasus, Mesopotamia, Afghanistan, much of Central Asia, as well as parts of contemporary India, Pakistan, Syria and Turkey.

The empire was founded by Timur (also known as Tamerlane). He envisioned himself as the great restorer of the Mongol Empire of Genghis Khan, regarded himself as Genghis's heir, and associated much with the Borjigin. Timur continued vigorous trade relations with Ming China and the Golden Horde, with Chinese diplomats such as Ma Huan and Chen Cheng regularly traveling west to Samarkand in order to collect tribute and sell goods, continuing the Mongol empire's tradition. The empire led to the Timurid Renaissance, particularly during the reign of astronomer and mathematician Ulugh Begh.

In 1467, the ruling Timurid dynasty, or Timurids, lost most of Persia to Azerbaijanis and the Aq Qoyunlu confederation. But members of the Timurid dynasty continued to rule smaller states, sometimes known as Timurid emirates, in Central Asia and parts of India. In the 16th century, Babur, a Timurid prince from Ferghana (modern Uzbekistan), invaded Kabulistan (modern Afghanistan) and established a small kingdom there. Twenty years later, he used this kingdom as a staging ground to invade India and establish the Mughal Empire.

Terrain and Biome

Whilst the terrain of the Timurid Empire varies, the best place to defend terrain wise would be in Iran due to its Mountainous and Semi-Mountainous regions which make it a pain for others to invade. It has the Arid biome.

Threats

• Iran is likely to invade you to form Khwarazmian Dynasty and Persian Empire but sometimes it can be for tungsten as well. (COMMON)
• India requires Afghanistan for the Maurya Empire. (COMMON)
• Russia will most likely invade you to form the Soviet Union or the Russian Empire. (UNCOMMON)
• Kazakhstan may invade you to form the Turkic Khanate. (UNCOMMON)
• China might invade some of Central Asia for resources. (COMMON)
• Turkey may take Iraq and possibly the Caucasus. (UNCOMMON)
• Pakistan requires Afghanistan to form the Mughal Empire. (RARE)
• Turkmenistan trying to form the Seljuk Empire. (RARE)
• Mongolia if skilled, will try to form the Mongol Empire. (VERY RARE)
• Italy trying to form the Roman Empire. (VERY RARE)
• Macedonia or Greece trying to form the Macedonian Empire. (VERY RARE)

Strategy

The best starting approach would be to ally Russia. If that fails, ally either China or India. As soon as you pick Uzbekistan, immediately begin justifying conquest on Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan and hope Iran does not invade Turkmenistan. As soon as you annex Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan, invade and annex Turkmenistan if it hasn't yet been invaded to form Khanate of Khiva to give you some extra stability and immediate cores on the area. If Iran has taken Turkmenistan you may have to prepare for war or ask them if you can have it for Khiva. If war is the approach have plenty of stability or request help from India or China.

After forming Khanate of Khiva, the next approach would be to take Afghanistan if India hasn't taken it and prepare for war with Iran. If you trade efficiently, it may be easy to make tanks as you have tungsten. If you are low on money for trade you may have to make electronics factories and begin selling electronics to AI to make some money. When you are able to afford a titanium trade, begin trading as soon as possible or invade Kazakhstan for its titanium.

Once you have tanks, begin arming your border with Iran and declare war. It is recommended to research tank mobility to at least the 3rd or 4th level as Iran is extremely mountainous and full of the Arid biome. Begin to immediately rush their lands with tanks and send in artillery if necessary, it is also best to have infantry present as well during the war as Iran would probably have tanks. As soon as Iran falls, Timurid Empire becomes relatively easy unless Turkey has taken Iraq, if not then it should be easy to form as you have Azerbaijan, Armenia, Georgia, Kuwait and Iraq left to take.
