AI Priorities[]
The Timurid Empire uses the mughal.ai AI File. They have the following preferences:
Colonization[]
The Timurid AI does not have any areas it prefers to colonise. It will never attempt to build trading posts, is less likely to build colonies adjacent to previous ones (a value of 10 compared to the default of 50), and is much less likely to establish colonies next to other countries (a bonus of 10, compared to a default penalty of 50).
Trade[]
The Timurid Empire will send a trader less often than the default AI (50 compared to 100) and will rarely refuse trade (a value of 5, compared to the default of 25).
War[]
The Timurid Empire is a major warmonger (its war value is 90, compared to the default of 10). During a ware, it is more likely to beseige low-value provinces than the default AI (a value of 4.0 compared to 5.0), slightly less likely to split its attacks between multiple provinces (0.3 compared to 0.1), is much more likely to fight away from home (5.0 compared to 0.5), less likely to focus on defending/liberating its own provinces (1.0 compared to 2.0), more likely to attack low tax provinces (4.0 rather than 1.0), and significantly more aggressive (5.0 vs 1.0).
The Timurids are particularly likely to attack the following countries:
