Upon a Crimson Horse

I had a vision in the night, and behold, a man riding on a crimson horse...

The situation of the Timurid Empire in the first few decades of EU4's timeframe is woefully underrated and misunderstood by most, leaving a period of great intrigue mostly cast aside.

Well, no more. This mod seeks to represent the Succession Crises that shook Iran to it's very core, crafting a disaster not for the faint of heart, and a new opportunity for outsiders to get involved in new ways...

Will you attempt to reunify the Timurid Empire as a Prince, attempt to forge a new Persian state from within as a Governor, or burn it all down for your own personal glory as an Interloper? It is all up to you in this Iranian game of thrones.

• A new unique disaster, and a repeating variant of it, involving a long, brutal, and drawn out multi-way war.
  
• Up to 150 new events.
  
• Incredible art work by Xorme.
  
• A new subject type.
  
• 4 new Casus Bellis.
  
• An entire Timurid Empire system of mechanics.
  
• Entirely overhauled starting setup of the Iran region to be more accurate.
  
• 70+ new tags for each province in Iran!

• LordVarangian - Their Timurids content for EE originally inspired the seeds of this mod years back, and them playing it for 9 hours straight during playtesting helped, LOL
  
• Kyhler - Originally was part of team, but had to go off on his own due to team size limit. Made Winds of Silk as a result (I recommend using it whilst playing this mod!)
  
• Lia - Pioneer for the modern era of Scripted GUI, inspiration for the technique used for the UI.
