Altough by the trailer that seemed a very non mongol setting. So I was assuming it was set in the Ilkhanate, however wiki seems to indicate its in the city of Tus before the Mongol conquest.

'Toman' from the Mongolian word "tumen" meaning 10,000. No doubt introduced into the Farsi language during the Ilkhanate...

Roman Empire ? Maybe but a lot of others have passed that way since. Even the Mongol Ilkhanate had troops involved in the Crusades.

They've funnily enough made the Timurids OP *in the hands of the player* such that the first successful WC was done as the Timurids but the AI doesn't know that it's supposed to smash what's left of the Ilkhanate

Before the Flood, God told Noah to invite the chief of the MacNeils & his wife onto the Ark. A messenger was duly sent to Barra but returned without them. The MacNeil, he was told, had a boat of his own.

incredible coincidence because in 1295 the Mongol leader Baydu Khan was executed after a 7-month reign at Tabriz. He was succeeded by Ghazan, who became ruler of the Ilkhanate. He converted to Islam, ending a line of Vajrayana (Tantric Buddhist) leaders.

This depiction portrays Hulegu Khan and his wife, Doquz Khatun, from a 15th-century manuscript of the “Jami al-tawarikh” ( جامع التواريخ) by Rashid al-Din. Hulegu Khan was a 13th-century Mongol ruler and a grandson of Genghis Khan, who established the Ilkhanate dynasty in Persia.
