1.35 Otto Sneak Peak by Zlewikk

[Abnormalmind]

It was great seeking the sneak peak on YouTube. The Ottos gonna steamroll like mad

One curious thing, why aren't the Papal States and Ottos historical rivals at game start? He even showed he could ally the Papal States before unpausing. I mean, seriously, is this an oversight? The day after the Battle of Varna (Crusade) and then an alliance with the Pope? All of the sudden the Pope doesn't care that the Ottos steam roll into Hungary and eat up Catholics. Yeah, nice one!

Following that logic, why not just make a -100 relation malus for Papal State to any "heathen" country?

The ottoman empire is way to strong, and get so many Hard bonusses at Start, especially the pasha Feature is a Kind of Very easy mode

Shocker that the Empire recommended for new players who rolled through the balkans and near East during the first 100 years of the game is strong in the hands of a very experienced player.

yeah this one seems like a strange oversight. The papal state is already special so throwing in a relation modifier to heretics and heathens shouldn't be off the table there

Yes, in the hands of a player and an experienced one at that though, this doesn't mean the AI will do as well.

 

[MK1980]

Thr guy is literally a professional eu4 player. Don't expect the AI bots to play anywhere near that level.

1500 current patch (by u/CryptexCS)

Zlewikk 1500

Zlewikk 1500 in political map mode (about 60%-70% of dev and size are eyelets.)

Not too much bigger in the new patch than in current patch

He does nothing special, i see no reason why the KI cant do this

For some people, a world conquest as Ryukyu is nothing special and you don't see the ai doing that.

 

[Lykus Cerebros]

Didn't the Ottomans loose to Albania?

Loose a battle or an army yes.

Loose as in actually being defeated long-term no.

 

[aadf97799c]

ottoman been overpowered for player at day 1 of eu4

that never really changed much

would be nice to have some kind of big east or west slavic eyalet

 

[klingonadmiral]

Not too much bigger in the new patch than in current patch

I estimate that Zlewikk has (vassals included) ~500 dev more than Cryptex (~300 without Austria)

And lets keep in mind that those are supercharged vassals

 

[st360]

Loose a battle or an army yes.

Loose as in actually being defeated long-term no.

Weren't the Ottomans long term defeated by a stack of Greek rebels?

 

[PurpulaPhoenixum53]

Weren't the Ottomans long term defeated by a stack of Greek rebels?

Yes and No. Yes, the Ottomans did by the 1820s and 1830s did technically lose to a stack of Greek sepratists, but only after those sepratists got international help after British man (Lord Byron) died of disease while fighting against the Egyptians, who were helping the Ottomans suppress the rebellion. So...technically yes and no.
