Clearly because Shah Rukh died early before Timmy could bring its subjects under control and integrate them

Timur: switched sides to form the Timurid empire
Italy: write that down

They accidentally used the Wacky mod and the moment Shah Rukh died they started 5-way civil war

The Type of Empire Timur built was very Mongol/Macedonian in nature and not Roman/Ottoman one. It expanded quickly and died quickly. And its reputation was tarnished by the many brutal acts of it founder.

As a Central European, I am surprised I heard about this empire just recently.
This empire was huge, but it was never mentioned in any history class.

Delhi Sultan: We have elephants... WITH POISONED TUSKS!

He's birth name is Amir Timur ibn targai barlas also known as saibkiran he received those injuries in sistan not stealing sheep which book of history have you been reading and who's the author of the book?

[asqarovnursulton]

His leg was, in fact, injured during his one of early battles against mongols when he is not in power

[jsparrow]

This is why I don't give family titles in ck3.

[SalokhiddinMukhiddinov]

As an Uzbek, I consider Amir Temur as the hero of Uzbekistan who made Transoxiana free from Mongols.

Ps: the locals of Transoxiana (Turkiys) only took the name "Uzbek" from Shayboniy Khans. Thus we are now called Uzbeks.

I'm playing Europa Universalis III, and I've had the misfortune of the Timurid Empire NOT collapsing, and I'm not the Timurids... lol
