Timurids (M2TW Faction)

The Timurids are one of the two nomad factions (the other's the Mongols of course) that appear near the start of late period. They will appear just east of the Holy Land, so if you own any territory there it would be a good idea to reinforce it heavily, and preferably, long before they come. Since the Timurids are supposed to be the successors to the Mongols, they have pretty much the same agenda. They will ruthlessly assault any settlements in range, and afterwards most probably Exterminate the populace.
