Markus Eklund’s The Mongols - Timur Khan scenario for FW converted to Test of Time. In 1470, a man named Timur Lenk och Tamerlane made himself khan of the area around Samarqand, the largest city in Central Asia. During the following 30 years, he conquered most of Central Asia, the Middle East, Northern India and Southern Russia. Tamerlane’s ultimate goal was to restore the empire of Genghis Khan, whom he falsely claimed as his ancestor. Genghis Khan, however, was much nicer than Tamerlane.
