Why are the Timurids and Mamluks Shiite?

[Sleight of Hand]

I've been poking through landed_titles.txt (just being nosey really...) and I noticed that 'e_timurids' and 'd_mamluks' are both set to 'religion = shiite' when in fact both were Sunni Muslim dynasties. The Mamluks in fact controlled the Ayyubid Caliphate in Baghdad, with the Mamluk Sultan assuming de facto role of Sunni Caliph until conquered by the Ottomans. Maybe I've read this incorrectly (I've not played far enough for the Timurids to appear yet) but I don't think either of these dynasties should be Shiite.

Anyone?

Timurids, I don't know about, but it makes sense for the Mamluks, since at the start of the game, they likely would have been mostly Shi'ites under the Fatimids. It could get a little odd later in the game, I'll admit, but since any Muslim can hire them, it should be fine (and how often do you really look up the religion of a merc, anyway?).

Thank you for reporting it. I will pass it forward.
