What do

[StatikShocker]

An alliance trio of Ottomans, Timurids monster blob, and Crimea. I could smash them in direct combat, but what a border to defend. Ugh... Game has been at a stand still for 50 years because of this. No whining though, just looking for tips.

allies for them
Ottomans: Timurids, Crimea, Persia
Crimea: Ottomans, Hedjaz
Timurids: Ottomans, Oman

If you want to attack the Timurids, simply use the canceled loan CB on Oman...

Also, if you have the cash, you can declare war then buy out separate peace deals. It's very expensive, but also alliance-ruining .

I declared war in Timurids so I just had to beat them and hold back Ottomans to get peace to break it up. I'm convinced ai's don't take attrition. Ottomans started war with 200 manpower. they sat in this province with like 20 force limit with 140000 troops and just sat their GAINING MANPOWER. ghazi is unjustified. I lost 120k manpower and they gained manpower by sitting in that once province. they can't die. but I beat up the timurids and released everything and annulled treaties.

What's the attrition they're taking in that province? Hover over the skull in their army.
