Love how even with playing VIC3, Ludi is still in eternal EU4 mindset like calling pounds ducats and calling Egypt the Mamluks. Love the VIC3 content, keep it up!

[@victorconway444]

I love the duality of the Ottomans in pdx games. They easily have the sharpest contrast between two different games. In EU4, they're the most recommended "beginner tag" because even when AI controlled they are a monster. Endless armies, insane modifiers, and missions/claims to rapidly conquer a vast tri-continental empire within mere decades from the start date. Now they are a shadow _of a shadow_ of themselves, and probably the hardest country in Europe (if not the world at large) to play as n Victoria 3. A few bad choices within only 15 years can doom your entire campaign the same way history did for them.

[@dr3am5ers]

It's not the duality of paradox games ahahah it's called history and the game is based off history.

[@ggoddkkiller1342]

@@okanbokabatan Yeah, it shouldn't be this bad and Egypt wasn't even an independent country rather still a part of Ottoman! The Ottoman pasha sent to rule Egypt organized a massive rebellion and could push as far as Adana during the war but he never ever declared indepedence let go annexing anywhere. In the agreement Ottoman made him governer of Syria, Levant and Egypt so he only increased his governership area. Ottoman attacked him back in 1839 and reduced his governership area to only Egypt again. His dynasty remained as governers of Egypt until British empire invaded Egypt in 1882 and began heavily influencing Egyptian politics but even then it was still a part of Ottoman. Until as far as 1914 that when WW1 began British forces annexed Egypt and establihed a new country.

[@justsefa1843]

@@gaberobison680 Because they were still very potent. During the Russian-Ottoman war, the Russians were unable to beat the Ottoman garrison in Plevna. They had to starve them out. During WW1, the Ottomans did unbelievable work in Canakkale, Iraq and did an amazing job on the palestinian and caucasian front considering their lack of ressources and logistics. They also managed to crush all rebellions despite foreign support. Serbians had experienced russian generals/officers supporting/leading their rebellions.

btw ludi you know you can click the "revenue" button when either trading or building to sort all of the trades, and it will show the trades that make the most money at the top, and the least at the bottom, i always see you trying to find which ones are most profitable, and like this its much easier

[@jacob74947]

Ludi, you don’t have to “enforce” white peace war goals on powers that join after your primary target capitulates. Go to the war screen and you can usually white peace them immediately after the primary target is capitulated, no more bloodshed necessary.

[@combrade-t]

23:31 I mean it does kind of make sense more than like EU4's system because yk generally wars were more fluid on who was the main participant. Should really be different though in terms of changing war goals and then some nations should drop out once the original target had, like Austria should've really been able to switch it to taking Bosnia from you rather than trying to release tripolotania. Looking forward to how they tweak the war system for sure, its a tad bit scuffed rn.

Istanbul means 'to the city ' in Medieval Greak. Like you mentioned it was the main city around the area. People who speak ''Rum'' would say Istanbul when they were about to go to city.

It's worth noting that in the more modern eras, that just defeating the target country doesn't always win you a war anymore. For instance WW1 started over Serbia and they took it eventually... and the war just kept going for a few more years. Still, it probably would be good if the allies were more willing to peace out if continuing the war looked hopeless.

What a wonderful army will that army be, and what a wonderful commander will that conqueror be.” (But it must be a bullshit cuz mehmet 2 was most renovative ruler at otto history.)

A few tips for people who actually need a tutorial: 1) You need to suppress the landowner class HARD if you want to actually ban slavery and do bureaucratic reforms properly without cheese. 2) Rush arms industry and line infantry before invading Egypt, and it would be much easier. 3) Dueling is actually great in that if you have high ranking generals from the landowner class, you can get rid of them this way and try getting generals from other desirable classes.

Yo Ludi, the 2nd Siege of Vienna wasn't the cause of decline but a symptom and the Ottoman started declining in the mid 1500s due to major internal political shifts however if you want 2 battles that really kickstarted this into full gear then the battle of Lepanto and the great siege of malta (1565 and 1570something) were two big kicks to the balls for the Turks that showed the cracks really forming ^^
