The key for a new player as Ottomans is balancing your expansion between Europe, Caucasus, and middle east/mamluks. You are basically the big bad for the entire region which unfortunately means that Poland, Austria, Hungary, Venice all hate you, not to mention Mamluks to your south. Even without a large coalition forming against you, everyone will be looking to backstab you if you get too weak in terms of manpower or army size. Haven’t played Ottomans in a long time but I think you should probably annex Byz ASAP, then maybe kill idk Serbia or something before focusing on Anatolian minors and the middle east/caucasus. The Balkans are largely garbage anyways, and the trade from those provinces don’t flow to Constantinople.
Do you have the DLCs?

Yes, I am playing as the Aztecs with the El Dorado DLC. It’s hectic because there’s pressure to reform Aztec society before the Euros show up, right now it’s 1510 and I’m just about there.
D2 Beta opens tomorrow. Anyone else going to play?

D2 =Diablo 2 remaster? Already in public beta? Damn, I gotta get that.
Yeah. Technically it’s a private beta for preorders but the full beta is right after for everyone. Game releases in September.
Do I have to suck someone off to get private beta access? I’ll do it.
Damn I thought Hades was today
Just preorder it and then cancel.

played a little bit tonight and it delivers on the hype, made it as far as the bone hydra after beating Meg. Unlocked the bow and shield.
Are the furniture things literally just cosmetic? like it gives me the option to buy that currency for coins but whats the point?

Cool that’s what I’ve been doing
I didn’t pay a ton of attention to her tbh I will next time, Aphrodite delivered tho.
The starting sword seems a lot more fun than the bow but the bow much easier.
Also are y’all using controller? I started with keyboard but switched to controller after first run and felt much better
