So from all this my deductions are:

1. Try to find the most badass archers in existence and get them to shoot Timurids.
2. You guys just want a glorious clusterfuck of blood and elephants with cannons on their backs.

Place those archers on horseback and you've pretty much got it.
There are merc horse archers if you don't know, mostly in the lands the Turks start out with.

That would be exactly where the heart of Timurid power is.

And? This just makes it easier to pick them up while you're attacking the Timurids. It's better than haveing to ship a General to the otherside of the map to pick them up then ship them all the way back.

But I have generals throughout most of Europe.

Ok, I now have a challenge for everyone reading:

Use a map of Europe or whatnot, and MS Paint, and craft a plan of attack. Then we'll vote on which is best, and I'll try and follow it. Refer to the OP for what I hold. The Timurids have Constantinople and Thessalonica, as well as all of Asia Minor.

I'm not seeing any Venetian Superweapons on that map. It's rubbish.

It's a geographic map. Jesus elephant charged magma shooting horse archers aren't actually settlements, no matter how much more awesome they may be.
