No Timurids?

Simple question, as seen in the title.

SS has no timurids? I played a long campaign, starting with early campaign, and many years passed, the mogols came along, the black death, the discovery of the americas (although not in the game...) but no timurisd? They're gone in SS?

Yeah, they were kicked out to make room for some other factions!

You know what Biggles, I've played SS for some time & although I've never seen them - I wasn't sure.

Now, playing as the Mongols, I'm glad they are not going to turn up like a nasty relative in my backyard...they were a challenge though weren't they!

It would be possible for someone to add them back in if they were to replace a faction. They are still present in battle_models.db and, as mentioned, their roster shares many units with the Mongols... with some additions from the Turks and of course, their elephants.

When I played a Golden Horde campaign in SS 5.1, my battles with the Timurids were the most fun I had during that campaign. Of course, it was a reversal of what really happened during Timur's campaign against Tokhtamysh...

It was sort of a waste since Mongols and Timurids both have small rosters and since Mongols is more known, they were chosen. Just my two cents about why the Timurids were not there.
