Next time you play Ottomans make your Syria like this:



You wasted a lot of admin points and time coring a lot of that land and getting a second vassal. Also once you conquer Haasa and Hejaz you will no longer get a coring reduction in Africa because Arabia isn't blocked off from your capital.

You might still be able to do a WC though, what idea groups have you taken so far?

I think you could just vassalize AQ and give them the land but Syria has cores on a lot of stuff so its easier for them to take plus you get the CBs.

You can't get reduced coring cost in the Caucasus region because its considered part of Europe. Look in the region mapmode and only take the land south of the Europe-Asia border.

In order to get that reduced cost in Europe you have to move your capital back to Asia. It has to be isolated in order to move it to another continent so you need to release nations (cant be vassals I think?) and then have it blocked off completely from the European region.

Humanist + quantity works, especially if you cba to micromanage attrition, but offensive works better for a WC attempt because it will give you a policy that reduces unrest and separatism, not to mention the siege ability is a godsend.

Also did you core Greece when you conquered Byzantium or did you give it to a vassal and diploannex? That can speed up your first national idea by a lot.

trying Gothic Invasion. Rules - no allying lucky nations or Lithuania. Have Khorasan and that country torn out of Lithuania as vassals + blocker vassal on Sibir.



Sunni, of course. I actually don't know how people do this as Orthodox, it makes the early game so horrific.

Our allies are Livonians (lol) and Hungary (20% cav combat tradition is so ridiculously good)
