I've read this AAR: http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/showthread.php?504398-Sick-Man-of-Europe-an-Ottoman-Empire-AAR
Is it still possible to conquer Europe with the new changes in AHD?
This is the first time I'll be playing a backwards civilised country, so I need some help on:
What techs to research first? Freedom of Trade as been nerfed and its effects distributed over multiple techs. I start the game lacking in every category, so which should I focus on?
What factories to build? In vanilla, cement used to be the best first factory, but now I'm not sure.
How to hold off Russia when they go to war with me. Is there anything to it besides being very careful about my army's generals, forts, organisation, etc.?
