Playing as the timurids

[raptor242]

After downloading 6.3 I thought that if I played the late era campaign I would be able to play as the timurids (hope I spelled it right ) but when i went to start a new campaign all other factions were there apart from them. Right now they only appear playable in custom battles.

Any help appreciated thanks.

That is because they are an emergent faction. If you want to play as them in campaign, someone needs to mod that in or do it yourself

Timurids didn't arrive until 1300s which is after late era campaign starts. 1450 campaign or possible 1370 someday might include them as playable faction.

Can't understand why they can't make the Timurids and the mongols into one.

Can't understand why they can't make the Timurids and the mongols into one.

Because they were two different factions in reality

Might as well make all the italians one faction if you think about it that way...

...dont even think about it.

A closer thing would be to make Portugal and Milan the same. Mongols were mostly pagan steppe nomads who largely used light horse archers plus foreign auxiliaries. The Timurids (Chagatays) were settled Muslims who used heavy cavalry, horse archers, archers, and foreign auxiliaries like Khurasani crossbowmen and Persian heavy infantry. They spoke a different language and appeared on the world scene 150 years later.

OOooooo.. I am
They did it with Ireland and then took them out.

[Brother Duncan]

I wish you could play as them as well .

I guess custom battles will have to do for now...

Just play a hotseat! They're great. Just open medieval2.preference.cfg in notepad, and copy in this:

[hotseat]
turns = 0
scroll = 0
autoresolve_battles = 0
disable_console = 0
disable_papal_elections = 1
save_prefs = 1
update_ai_camera = 1
validate_diplomacy = 1


Then make medieval2.preference.cfg read only.

Then play a late era hotseat campaign and once the Timurids pop in, type in the consol "control timurids."

very good find principes! +rep for sharing.

As the timurids are an emerging faction is it possible to start the campaign with say. HRE, then enter control timurids followed by control HRE and just let the computer run until the timurids emerge? Never felt the need to go to such lenghts.

It's possible, but it will take a very long time.

Can you please repeat again because i have not been able to understand what you said. And does this apply to SS mod as well?

[Ottoman Pasha]

Some of those look like Rusichi units.

Its not like they made Ireland a part of the Scottish! Besides, the rebels now do just as much as Ireland did in the regular game. Sit there building millions of soldiers they cant afford and never even move off it. The Ai never attacks it either
