Check around Iraq. The Ottomans always build like a billion stacks and just wanders them around that area, resulting in those long turns.

[@Grathom15]

Yes DarthMod struggles with that, sometimes it effects the Swedish too. The first thing I always do at the start of a campaign when using DarthMod is go right for Iraq. If you shrink the Ottomans down you can avoid the ruined game at the end.

[@QueenMooSuko]

Syrian and southern Anatolia mountains, sometimes southern Persia, and any cities like Istanbul that have a strait-crossing for land forces. This is what lags up the turns often enough lmao the AI will dismantle or send single unit armies enmasse in these locations, and the game literally breaks itself on that traffic jam, trying to move all these units that are in the way of eachother.

[@seanwalters1977]

I remember I had a playthrough where it was just me and Prussia left both splitting roughly half the world. Prussia would have each individual unit move from their at least 30 stacks of troops. So let's do some quick math. 30x20 = 600 units moving individually and not even just one movement. Back and forth to the same spot 40 times or miniscule movements to nowhere. Each turn took like 15 minutes no lie but I was too stubborn and wanted the world on legendary so it happened. I wasn't happy, but it happened.

[@magdalenaschnitzer92]

When i first saw this mod a Few years ago i thought to myself:"Wow are we now gonna get Clones standing in lines and Shooting at droids all at once?" then i was dissapointed, but still it's one of the Best enhancement mods on Empire and Napoleon. The Best mod for me was the Great war mod

[@magdalenaschnitzer92]

@@kamalaquila9771 yes

[@merlin4084]

If you want to play better battles in Empire, and especially with Darthmod, you need to get the Bran MacBorn AI submod found on TWCenter forums. Battles are way better and he has a version of the submod that tries to kill the Ottoman Bug and it is one of the more successful attempts I've seen. Install that before your next video. Also, the huge soldier numbers gets easier to play with the more you use them...and they are more historically accurate for the time period. But that's neither here nor there

[@teruterubozo]

1:15 - Fun fact: The campaign map of ETW itself cannot be modded since it is hardcoded into the game. Editing it would only likely cause your game to crash and be unplayable.

[@dontpanic9772]

Hey ISP here a challange for 500k subs: Become the irl Pope.

[@directrulefromgamerchair3947]

The Ottoman bug is a vanilla bug. Basically the AI doesn't put their units into proper armies, instead having possibly dozens of one-unit armies running around, each adding to the turn time. Destroying them fixes the issue, as well as getting you the rich province of Anatolia.

[@MrTimebomb12]

Pretty sure the pikes are there so that you can form a Pike and Shot formation. It actually works really well. . . . in Med II with no artillery on the enemy team.

[@aidansayshi123456789]

The lag problem is caused by the Ottomans creating hundreds of tiny armies that slowly get bigger and more numerous as the game goes on. They're usually all fucking around Anatolia in a huge cluster... Just sitting there... being moved inches at a time... for eternity. It's fun taking them on, too because they instantly surround you and come at you from all sides with OP artillery and cavalry.

Oh a heads up, you're on custom in the Darthmod set up, which uses the base game map (not much of a difference but some states do exist, some don't etc.) And if you choose like classic?
