Should I TC Egypt as Persia?

[giovdb]

I'm going for the This is Persia achievement. I just took over most of Egypt. I still have all of the Ottomans to deal with, but I've been allied with them for a long time. After I finish Egypt I'll break the alliance and start messing with them. I haven't played in a while and I'm undecided on what to do with TCs. Should I TC Egypt? I barely have any merchants so I'm missing out on a lot of income BUT, I already make a ton of money... I also have quite a bit of manpower, but the Ottomans still have more troops than me. What are your thoughts? TC or just state?

i would say yes. Alexandria node suffers from Genoa and Venice downstreams, so too much goes to europe anyway. Collect in Alleppo and later in Constantinople

If you have a slot to accept Egyptian culture, I would state it.
