How to defeat Tamerlane. (Medieval 2: Total War)
Play for Venice. Took Egypt and defeated the Mongols. Tamerlane came and took Baghdad and destroying there best General and the best army(previously drenched Timerwindow at times two) they Signed an Alliance with the Turks. Turkey took Aleppo and Jerusalem. Egyptian territory started a riot. Tamerlan takes my cities one after the other. Sailed my army and defeated the do-gooders. But took went to besiege the city. Then came the Turks, and broke me. I lost all the African and Asian territories captured sweat and blood. Tell me how it is better to deal with Tamerlane for Venice.Gronk22
You're more like the cavalry or infantry than you can manage better?
The Timurids can be overcome, and cavalry and infantry.
Read the following paragraph, 1 paragraph is not suitable for vanilla. ;)
Well, battle tactics everyone has their own, but once the invasion of the Timurids, the gunpowder have been brought from China to the West. Evpro, therefore you have cavalry (2 of the type employed with the city and the castle, I think I know the difference). The one that hires the city has good pistols, but weak armor, with those who hire out of the castle opposite.
Take 4-6 of these units, to crush the Timurids heavy cavalry.
If there are elephants, then be SURE to take the bombards, as they shoot bombs, but Oh, how elephants are afraid of fire (from the burning arrows, too, is good, but it's not only frightens the elephants, but kills from 1-3 elephants.)
And Yes, in no way take heavy infantry with swords and short spears, only the halberdier!
And so all can take heavy cavalry to boot, but I do not advise her to send at once, for they will be shot as babies.
And Yes, no matter what mod you play.
This is only my tactic, it's different for each...
.
So, I looked at the troops of Venice in vanila, e my, how awful her army... you're better than Stainless Stell 6.4 play...
So, I advise you to take 4 unit of pike infantry, 6 units of arquebusiers, 2 unit of Venetian heavy archers, 4 bombarde, 1 General for 3 better and more powerful heavy cavalry.
.
Hmm, it's just a theory, I therefore was not at war with Timurids, let's see.
Tactics complete nonsense :D :
Complexity *very high*.
.
In vanila generally many factions deprived units, fashion is fix, download SS 6.4, the best mod for Medieval 2 Total War!
However, for the defense of the Timurids pretty weak :
Whether 10, whether 11 year played :
Here's a tactic ;D

Trust me, in the battle on the battlefield, they are extremely strong if you don't prepare for battle properly, gunpowder against them.
But in a siege they're pretty weak, look at the top photo, such wars have coped with such a Horde heavy troops :)
And what here to speak about the defense of the city heavy pikemen and halberdier (SS 6.4).

Thanks, but ss 6.4 I have just the original wanted to play. But the fact that Timeready too much stretched front line and the Turks are helping them. And after taking my gold cities money for such an army is not enough. It is possible as a cheaper way to do?

Pray to God... don't know anymore :D
In vanila with Tiredmy extremely hard to fight on an open field.
CRASHCOOLMAN
With the Mongols I had a battle in the open field and many times won. Had all the troops from Europe to lead that would hold. Byzantium and captured a couple of Turkish cities and to the crusade, England and Spain joined their troops had captured Jerusalem and Aleppo. Lucky...

And not easier to meet the enemy on the bridges? To shy away from battle to take the fight only if you're on a hill, and they can only attack from the bottom. You can try all available tools to send fire on the commander. At his death, to win the battle you will increase the chance by 50%
