How to destroy Ottoman-Timurid Alliance ?

[whiteeagle81]

In my Najid Game i've got risen to power with them. Now i am in the Year 1650 and allied with Timurid but Rival of the Ottoman Empire, which should be my really first big Target to conquer.

But the Problem is Ottoman Empire is allied to the Timurids. So i can't attack both of them...They have no border between them because of my Najid Empire which reaches from the Arabian Penisula to the Caucasus. My army is strong, but to weak to knock out both of this regional superpowers....

Any advices ?

Declare war on a third target that Timmy would be willing to help you with, then declare on Otto. Bonus points if Ottomans are allied with the country you declare on. Usually it'll be one of the remaining European hordes.

Use Annul Treaty too. It´s VERY useful sometimes. And obviously, the clean way of doing it.

With the new rules bear in mind you need to end the war against the Ottomans before the one the Timmies are helping with. If you dont there is a chance the Ottomans may call the timmies for help when they become available.
