There is nothing like waking up to a dove jumpscare (long story) and finding out Bitt3r made a video about the Ottomans! So cool, love your videos man! Also, will you ever play Kaierreich? I think that that mod’s Ottomans also need a lot of help!

[@bartomiej3389]

As for sultans, you have 4 options (you can trust me, i spent last 2 weeks playing exclusively Ottoman Empire in TGWR with my friend) Abdulmecid - some general buffs to stability, pp gain, some construciton factories - weak af Yusuf Izzedin - buffs to army and attack (a lot of buffs, but quite weak) - mid af Ahmed Nihad - out of the three available when you Intervene in the Elections, he used to be the best due to sheer amount of fucking buffs for industry this guy has, but since they nerfed Ottoman Empire to start with 12 factories instead of 48, usually it's too late to reap the benefits of this guy and the best one as of now: Abdulhamid II (the face from the first political focus) - if you go for coup instead of intervening, you can get this guy - he gets +2500 WEEKLY manpower on top of some other nice buffs, and more importantly - it allows you to go down the Shadow of Allah on Earth route, which enables you to instantly remove Sick man of Europe, and the best part - instantly default on debt (which means, you can get the focuses to spam factories via decisions, push your national debt to something like 500-600%, and then just default on debts and have a functional and VERY STRONG economy). The only problem with this guy is the fact that coup route gives you much more penalties early on, and you'll have problems with stability until 1915.

[@bartomiej3389]

new patch just came in, and sultan paths became a little bit weaker. but at least they fixed broken decisions mechanics

[@Esta_Chan]

Abd-ul-Hamid is overrated but he's the best bet we can ask for. For Balkan War how many men you lost? I lost ±160k and beat 367k. Wonder why you suggest Abd-ul-Hamid

fun fact: the Ottoman Public Debt Administration (OPDA) was created so that the Ottomans could pay back their debts and investors could get their returns (iirc). Though the main purpose of the OPDA was solely to make sure the Ottoman Empire doesn't default on their debts for the second time.
