Turns out the achievement for Persia as Tarbarastan is more difficult than I thought it would be. First I annexed Shirvan and the other Shia nation north of it. I allied QQ for protection. Then vassalised Circassia and Georgia. At this point QQ was losing a war to the Timmies so I turned on them taking 3 provinces to link up my lands and released Armenia. Shortly after Persia revolted out of the Timmies and I was able to ally the Ottos. Then I annexed Armenia which in hindsight was a mistake because a few years later the Ottos broke alliance due to wanting my provinces though they hadnt taken a mission for them. Que dog pile and complete destruction. How far east are the Ottomans scripted to go? Any other ideas on early expansion because eventually the Ottos will want Georgia too.
