The Timurid Empire is definitely a major problem tag for the game IMO. I can't say anything about a specific solution (most of all as that'd be up to Jake and Johan) but it's something that's been atleast on my mind for a long time. Both as a big fan of Mughal era history (in whatever capacity one can be a fan of an early modern empire) and because I think we could do better with the Timurids. IMO neither Iqta or Horde covers this state particularly well government wise.
It's good to know I'm not alone in wanting to see something more engaging and interesting happening to them. There are definitely some nice ideas in here and perhaps some of them might happen irregardless of a Timurid "solution".
And you're quite right that the game uses Kokkand as a generic Fergana tag now. Can't say if the name will change though (given that Kokkand is the biggest state based there in this era it might be kept to look good on the map).
