Playing the ERE in BI, I built forts at the Danube river crossings. The Vandals avoided me and went elsewhere. After the Vandals pushed the Goths off their lands, they avoided me as well. The Huns, on the other hand, didn't like being herded. I had to kill all 9 stacks of their troops in the end.
Timurids are late 1300s, historically. I think Timur took over in 1369 or thereabouts, and it was over the next 35-40 years he systematically carved out his territory.
