Give a rundown on Timur the Lame

>rundown
>the Lame

Wow, you fucking ableist shitlord

he was literally called "Tamer the Lame" brah. Got shot with arrows as a kid

Poor man's Genghis Khan. Almost saved the Palaiologos from the Eternal Roach but for whatever reason greeks and balkanites didn't feel like being saved and wasted the opportunity fighting each other. Thus the only good thing ever done by Tamerlane became an irrelevant footnote.

If he lived 10 more years, he would have restored the Yuan.

He was pretty autistic about building up Samarkand.

>Timur gained a reputation as a patron of the arts and Samarkand grew to become the centre of the region of Transoxiana. Timur's commitment to the arts is evident in the way he was ruthless with his enemies but merciful towards those with special artistic abilities, sparing the lives of artists, craftmen and architects so that he could bring them to improve and beautify his capital. He was also directly involved in his construction projects and his visions often exceeded the technical abilities of his workers. Furthermore, the city was in a state of constant construction and Timur would often request buildings to be done and redone quickly if he was unsatisfied with the results

>kill 5% of worlds population
Not a good thing, retard

>tfw he genocided my people

>Standard steppenig army.
>Versus a China that was unified and ruled by a military genius who just recently invaded and quashed Mongols in their own turf.
