You must outnumber them, prepare for battle. You should build ships in every possible port to have a chance against Royal Navy.

Start building a navy from the very beginning of the game.

(v1.2 edit: Capturing Transylvania and handing off to Mughal is not fully tested and may provoke Austria to declare war on Mughal) Use this army to attack Transylvania, capture and leave it to Mughal Empire. You may need an army against Austria in early game.

Do not field any armies except for ensuring public order.

Establish a commercial fleet in Mesopotamia port and send them out for valuables.Try to keep popularity high by not appointing statesmen with 'harsh reputation'.) Repeat this process until you get at least 4-star or better statesmen.(Keep an eye on their traits to learn where they fit best) (v1.2 edit: You may rather want to keep your population happier than getting %1-2 tax bonus at this time. Observe the wealth level of towns and convert the poorest port town into shipyard) (v1.2 edit: you actually may convert both of remaining two ports into trading ports as Syria has no towns left. Of three ports in Syria, convert the one in Cyprus into shipyard, and designate the rest as one for fishing and one for trade.Convert the madrassa in Mesopotamia and textile building in Egypt into schools.Now that we have secured our borders, we need to accelerate our economical progress.

We must state something here: there might be a connection between trade agreement and aggression of Great Britain. This alliance was preventing us from seeking for allies in Europe.Д®stablish as many trade agreements as possible.Signatories: Ottoman Empire - Barbary States You will spot the army marching but its arrival takes several turns due to land effect, which gives you a good amount of time to prepare. Later in the game, Austria will try to attack Bulgaria. When we prevent this declaration, Austria is more likely to go into a war with Russia and Prussia, where we should support Prussia technologically. Otherwise Austria might either declare war on you or Mughal. -MOST IMPORTANT- You should gather your forces at the fortress in front of Transylvania.Resistance against Marathas will be improved,.Austrian, Polish and Russian land attacks will be prevented,.Muhgal will give 12,000 golds to Ottoman Empire.Serbia, Bosnia and Moldavia will be left to Mughal,.

Signatories: Ottoman Empire - Mughal Empire By the time Mughal is finished, Maratha will already be unstoppable.) Aim of the fifth point is that we hope Persia holds against Maratha longer by the aid of those techs (v1.2 edit: Actually, they will not.Persia, Georgia and Dagestan will fight each other (probably Persia will conquer the others).Persia will give 2000 golds to Ottoman Empire.Canister shot and Improved grenades techs will be given,.To prevent land attacks, we need to secure our borders. Rules above imply that we must prevent land attacks, disband armies and aim for a powerful navy. After establishing the Admiralty Building, we need to aim blue technologies.Дў. First building in queue should be Admiralty in capitalДЈ. At least two military ports (Antalya and Cyprus recommended)Дў. There are two golden rules of this game, as you know:Дespite enemies' head start in naval technologies, we need to do three things to recapture naval superiority:ДЎ. Even if we survive a hundred turns under those conditions, campaign evolves into a me vs. As a result, every single trade route gets blockaded. Players usually underestimate the power of navy, or they have to, as upkeep of the armies hold a big percent of treasure. We may field many armies, gain many heroic victories but we always fail to maintain a good economy. Even if we succeed to break first few waves, they are ultimately unstoppable. Despite whatever we do to prevent, Austria brings thousands of troops to our borders and continuously attacks. For example either Great Britain or France invades Egypt, Persia blockades Mesopotamia port, Georgia invades Armenia. Each time we begin a new campaign, same events occur with slight differences.
