It does make sense actually if Timur has below average Monk. Since he often massacred fellow Muslims & waged war against fellow Islamic kingdoms. During the conquest of Damascus, it is also reported that Timurid army burned Umayyad mosque in there. His conquest is mainly motivated by personal ambition to reestablish Mongol Empire with him as the ruler.

As for navy, from gameplay perspective civ with good ranged units & siege usually also has good navy. So probably that's why Tatars has good navy. Even Mongols has pretty good navy although historically, they were unable to conquer Japan & Java.
