the AI, is the worst tatical general to every step foot on this planet. I think a six year old could out manuver it, A SIX YEAR OLD GIRL!!!!! It has no concept of proper troop placement, proper recruiting procedures, where to recruit, who to recruit, it has no idea to build up your armies before declaring war, it has no concept of where to attack, who to attack, when to attack, it lacks the ability to do a proper siege, most of the time it sieges a castle to a -9 factor then sends troops off to fight somewhere else, wasting all its progress, it has no clue where to put navies, when to move navies, it does not know to build large forts in valuable provinces, it does not consider the amount of gold in treasurey when making peace, not to mention war exhuastion, allies involvement. And thats just naming a few things wrong.

Every hear the term Anthropomorphism.

In this context is ascribing human thought or emotion to a machine. And you did note my grin icon right.

Dude you noticed it too?

I hated that so much. I'd declare war on some minor, invade and crush their army, put their cities to the siege then they'd demand 100 ducats for peace

And sometimes you have to pay! If you need the peace bad enough, Say if you are in a BB war or War Exhaustion is killing you. So It is not totally out of wack!

Ottomans also get freaky in my game with Indian and African colonies. Nearly as strange as Chinas American colonies.

You are not on 1.05 are you!

well, ottomans go for indian and african colonies in 1.05. Perhaps they receive some in peacetreaties though, but I see them often own some. That means they have more colonies than home-provinces, with a ratio of 5 to 4 or sommetink

I was reffering more to the China in NA comment. It is much better now.

Based on Ottoman History, I think there should be some more positive events, that aren't given adequete recognition. I am not sure, if people are too aware of Ottoman history, however, perhaps we can make some events for them, that will fall in lines with history as well eh? Like, the Ottoman purchase of Kaffa and Kerch from Genoa? Or the Mameluke warlords in-fighting (that is really the reason why the Mamelukes fell, and how the Ottomans were able to cotrol them)? How about the march on Mecca, and title of Khalifa? Or the Cultural renaissance after the fall of Constantinople? Or Suleyman's rise in Eastern Europe? Just some brief ideas/questions/suggestions, on what could or should be done.

Check with the EEP forum I am sure they have some.

ah, OK. The comment you included made one think differently but now I understand that subtle diversion

I don't see how it made one think differently!

well, for my understanding the guy was referring to the Ottoman colonial "problem" and compared it with the good old Chinese colonialization of America.

Ah! but that is not what he said. And since I did not comment except to say that I did not think he was playing with 1.05, and since only China's colonial AI changed in 1.05, How could you think I was talking about the Ottomans when they did not change with 1.05?
