Timurid vassal Transoxiana

[Hornecik]

Hi.
Why in some games Transoxiana with liberty desire under 50% has supported independence by Uzbek in some games. What to do then beside restarting the game. I need tips for multiplayer game. It is troublesome because after Shah Rukh dies other vassals make allies with transoxiana and also are supported by Uzbek.

The some things that you can do is trying to improve relations with the smaller vassals so that they don't ally Transoxiana, building up your army and maybe allying some countries to help you win the war. With Uzbek it depends if they rivaled you (most games they do).

If you really have to you can always make them a march. However I suggest declaring on Ajam ASAP and setting your vassals to either siege or be aggressive. Let them wear their army down (keeps LD down). Then set them to embargo rivals and transfer trade, then while at war put them on scuttage (sp?). Improve relations with all of them, and let them send you a royal marriage, so when Shah Rukh dies the marriage stays. When 1454 comes around, focus on integrating the nations who you have cores on, like Fars and Khorisan. If you can, try to integrate Transoxiana first, but if not that's okay. You can also develop their provinces to keep LD down if you have to.
