Yeah, and I applaud the creativity in coming up with that idea. It's great, it doesn't give all the AI nations bonuses while still providing the player with more challenge later on.
Timurds are pretty damn big here too. In my game Russia hasn't, formed yet mainly because of those pesky Knights who took all of Novogorod (which has come back to life). Poor Russia..same for me , exept they crush the mamlouk , the other bigger naion is timoourid , same size and.... ally with persia?
