Im on 1.31.2 playing as Hormuz. Had that crash at 1502 which was repaired with the last patch. It goes ok although I could use the missing vassalization. In this game I aim for 2 achievements Strait talk (dip reputation 10) and Arabian coffe(forming Arabia + coffee trade good domination).
I am certain Ill get the first one, but the second will take some effort.
In the game before this one I played Great Horde and aimed for The Great Khan achievement (own regions: Russia, Ural, Pontic Steppe, Khorasan, Persia, North and South Chine and Xinan) the Ottomans held a couple of provinces in Pontic Steppe and Persia that I managed to get in the late game.
Now with Hormuz the Ottos are beaten from all sides and Mamelukes hold 5 provinces I need for Arabia, of course they have one of the largest armies.
So whatever country you play the game knows how to make it more interesting.
