[@user-eh1tv9pj2d]

Timurids(the dynasty) called themselves Gurkani, which means "in-laws", cuz Timur married a descendent of Genghis Khan, so he was Genghis Khans in-law. Baburid brench kept this official name, despite Babur being fully descendent of Genghis. As for the people, they did not call themselves Uzbek yet, but Chagatai.

[@Tyroldis]

But why in eu4 we have both Uzbek and Chagatai?

[@thomasschmidt1452]

Never make the closest province a war target, cause the province you made a war target in a conquest/reconquest war will become cheaper to take in a peace deal. Cannot remember percentage (25 or 33) but it's quite significant for a high developed province. Sometimes it will help you to annex a nation with 105% percent of war score for all of their provinces if you made their highest developed province a war target (it may cost 98% war score or less).

[@aestheticscout9543]

[@thomasschmidt1452]

@@aestheticscout9543 A province you made a war target become cheaper to take in a peace deal. For example Pronce A cost 12% but if it is a war goal it now cost 8%. So if you made the most valuable province a war goal it will bring more benefets. It's better to pay 20% instead of 30# then pay 4% instead of 6%.

There are 4 not 3 starting legacy missions possible with Persia - Timmies, Ardabil, those 2 Sheeps with strange names and also those small persian nations close to Caspian See.

[@AGrumpyPanda]

In most of my runs as Ajam into Persia I've focused military and gone in on the Timurids as soon as A) I'm on tech 4, and B) Shah Rukh dies. As long as the subjects are disloyal their armies stay in their borders, so I've been able to crush the Timurid army, siege the fort on the Baluchistan border, and then just siege as much as I needed to to grab Shiraz, Yazd, Kerman and the province with the fort in it from the Timurids, before turning my attention north. Sometimes it's frustrating but it usually works out.

[@joseph_soseph9611]

This my first proper King of Kings campaign and so far I am loving it. I took a slightly different route, though, by keeping the Persian ideas. I'm not absolutely certain they're better, but I kind of felt like they are. They have more of the bonuses I usually focus on. The most important of these, that you sadly lose with Eranshahr's ideas, are goods produced +10%, discipline +5%, and dev cost -5%. You get some better ideas in return like more cav combat ability and 3 or 4 completely unique bonuses, but they don't really seem worth it. Maybe I'll try them in another campaign though. -20% overextension impact looks like something, that could be powerful during the age of absolutism and later.

[@hoyinching9313]

Persia really is a fun nation to play now! I eventually play Armenia. Sitting between Ottomans, Mamluks and Persia, is very challenging.

[@upsidedownmussolini6832]

in the game files there's a secret zoroastrian path, if you persecuted that prophet in his initial events (and he survives); he will come back after some time and stage a rebellion and if you have already flipped your religion by this point, you get an option to have him coup your dynasty and establish a zoroastrian feudal theocracy.

Someone should try to form Zoroastrian Persia as Mazandran. It would make some sense historically speaking and their EU4 icon is litteraly the Derafsh Kavian (Basically the Sassanid Persian flag)

timur was more turkish than ottomans. thats why when they attack anatolia, turkmen tribes sided with him. some historians says turkmen beyliks in anatolia invited him to fight against ottomans. and ottoman army was basically christian knights and devshirme balkan soldiers against him, ottoman never had a chance and completely lost anatolia until death of timur. actually he was thinking to conquering china but first he wanted to destroy ottoman threat at his back. after that he died on the road of china. if he lived he probably would destroy the ming dynasity. he said himself a mongol to claim genghiz's succession. but actually he was from an uzbek tribe which is under cghatai khanate.

[@ozgurd5920]

also ajam (acem) means a region in turkish which we called to turkish people living in iranian influence. today they are known as azeris.

[@ozgurd5920]

so basically ottomans conquered anatolia from balkans with christian people. after timur is gone. and forced to migrate turkmens in anatolia to balkans to prevent uprisings against their rule. we start eu4 after ottomans get western anatolia back from some beyliks.

To make a true sassanid restoration with the zoroastrian path you must begin with mazadarani state culture like Mazadaran or Gilan. Historically they arenm considered the "true" descend of the Sassanid and they offer a special bonus for zoroastrian after become persia in the national mission. I think Gilan is more interesting and less difficult because they begin as Ardabil ally.

[@jafarjafarli4254]

Official name of Timurid state was “Gurgani” which is Turko-Mongolian word (Kurakan) for “son in law”. Because Timur was married one of the Chingizid princesses. And Timur himself mentioned in chronicles as Amir Timur the Kurakan. He never was an official sultan, emperor or anything, because he wasn’t a Chingizid. In fact main argument of Shahrukh against Ottomans was: we are the Gurgani, the son in law of the mighty Chingizid, who the hell are you?! After that Ottomans created that fake family tree claiming themselves as descendants of Oghuz Knagan.
