== Strategy ==
The Ottomans are a seafaring nation designed for a domination victory. Their unique ability is a bit similar to that of the Germans, but oriented towards naval units - they pay less for their maintenance, and they have the ability to convert defeated enemy ships to their side, which allows them to expand their naval power very quickly. If you start building up your fleet early (by fighting Barbarians, for example), you will have an impressive number of ships come the Renaissance Era, which you can use to start conquering other coastal nations. Look for every opportunity to enter naval combat, both to gain XP and new units. And of course, develop the Exploration tree to maximize your maritime infrastructure.
In the Renaissance Era the Ottomans' unique units become available, allowing them to make a powerful push towards victory. Use the Sipahi cavalry to recon enemy lands and devastate their improvements, then the Janissary corps to decimate their armies. Then move in for the kill with siege equipment, rest to recover your forces and continue the push! Your fleet will be invaluable as support...and later, in the Modern Era, an unstoppable engine of destruction!
