FOG Medieval: The Conquests of Timur - Cargol vs Rico

Rico · 2026-05-13T06:17:33Z

@cargol and I are heading off to central Asia for a quick, casual one-vs-one campaign. Cargol is playing the Turco-Mongol conqueror Timur (also known as Tamerlane ) who conquered vast swathes of central Asia, northern India and even got as far as Syria and Anatolia. I'll be playing all his hapless opponents: Islamic Persian States and the Jalayirid Sultanate (successor states to the collapsed Mongol Ilkhanate), Muslim Indians of the Delhi Sultanate, Georgians, Ottomans and Mamluk Egyptians. Cargol will have an advantage in that in all my defensive battles I'll be playing with AUTOFILL troops election. Simple rules and victory conditions, I'll post them a bit later. Armies: Timurid (1360 - 1398) vs Georgian (1300 - 1500) Jalayirid (1336 - 1432) Mamluk Egyptian (1340 - 1399) Ottoman Turkish (1362 - 429) Indian Muslim (1340 - 1469) Chagatai Khanate (1266 - 1500) Tatar (1340 - 1500) Islamic Persian (1245 - 1393) TURN 1 Starting from his base cities of Samarkand and Bukhara, Cargol launches his campaign in a northerly direction, to pacify the Mongols of the Golden Horde on their eastern steppes and capture Tashkent from the Chagatai Khanate Mongols. Battles have been set up and hostilities are about to commence.

Two more defeats and the empire of Timur is no more... the armies of the Islamic Persian Khanates capture BUKHARA and TASHKENT.

This concludes the campaign at Turn5 with a Major Timur Defeat.

Thanks @cargol for all the mad, crazy, swirling horse archer battles ... things seemed to go very much my way in this fun little campaign.

One of the most horrible features of war is that all the war-propaganda, all the screaming and lies and hatred, comes invariably from people who are not fighting.
