Ottoman WC 1.30: How to get Persia as vassal?

[SirRichardIV.]

Hi all, I'm trying my first WC as Ottomans, and don't understand how to get Persia as vassal: I've read that you can do it by getting one fitting province from QQ (e.g., Tabriz or Ilam) and then wait for Timurids to collapse. But Tabriz or Ilam have no Persia tag, so: How can I release Persia then?

Any help is appreciated.

I think you might have read some out-of-date information. Back in the day, Persia had cores all over... well, Persia. But that was a while ago.

outdated info. persia does NOT have cores anymore, its only formable tag. go for khorasan vassal instead, they got cores aplenty. do it early though, as their cores on afghanistan expire relatively early.

Thanks a lot! Then I'll look into Khorasan.

This stopped being a thing after cradle of civization came out. before that you could rush Ilam from QQ and could get most of Persia with a reconquest CB. You can still domething similar though with Khorosan, Afghanistan and Transoxiana if the Timurids managed to integrate them.
