Play as Mongols/Timurids

[Jools_Jops]

Is there a way to play as these two factions? or a way to switch over to them once they appear without modding?

or do you need mods to achieve this?

searching and google didnt show me anything helpful

thanks

I don't know if there's a Playable Factions script in /data like there was for RTW (which allowed you to play as any faction) - if there is, you can just switch Mongols/Timurids from Non-Playable to Playable and be fine.

However, you really should just play one of the mods. I suggest Stainless Steel. It's ten times better than vanilla, has more regions, more features, better AI, sexier units, and you can play as any of the dozens of awesome factions, including the Mongols and Timurids.

Not possible with emergent factions. This works only for the ones having starting cities on the map.
You will have to change additional files in order to give them starting territories and other things ...

Maybe there is a minimod available in the mod threads having done this for the two steppe factions?

Yes there is one, but that is a minimod only adding those two factions playable, searching for the link
