Cool thing I discovered, Maratha Confederacy will trade you Carnatia and some cash for Egypt+Palistine. This might at first seem a bad deal, but Carnatias tax revenue alone is greater then those two regions combined and it's resources will shoot your income through the roof while giving you a more compact and easily managed empire. it also gives you an excellent springboard to take all of India and launch trade vessels from. If you dislike the idea of surrendering Egypt and the Holy Land to the infidels, fear not. The Religous unrest in these regions is huge as no one in them is a Hindu. Some well placed Agents can start a rebellion in these provinces within a few turns and the Marathas are usually so tied down in India they are unable to send much to crush it. Then you can sweep in retake these from the rebels and the Mamaluks and maintain your trade with the Marathas.  you'll be raking in 15, 000+ a turn by round 10.

I love this channel because his verbal commentary is identical to my internal monologue.

I've got an idea for you: Maybe you should do a series on "turn 1 starting guides". Like, you play each total war as each faction, but basically just do the first 1 - 3 turns, showing people how to get started.

You usually get more views on the "first" video in a series, so doing a bunch of "first" videos could get you lots of views

f'kin loved the commentary man! you sound like gotta sh*t so bad but in a mood of holdin' it for just one more turn. awesome!

Did my first Grand campaign with the Ottomons without realising it was one of the hardest. I made allies right away with prussia tho and together we destroyed Austria, Russia and Poland&Lithuania with great ease

I remember this game. My Ottoman opening was trading Morea for Bosnia. It's a great trade for you (higher income trivial to defend province), it prevents any war with Venice, drastically shortens your vulnerable borders, and really delays Austria from attacking you - so you'll face Austria and Persia only. Or you can take Bosnia back a few turns later if you so wish.

With the Ottomans my favorite combo is a coordination between artillery and essentially human waves of sword armed Ottomans charge and overwhelm enemy positions while muskets rake the flanks.

Ottomans weren't that weak. Starts with nothing. That's a huge bug. How could this empire survived 600 years?

[horationelson]

Oh boy do I love “other goods”. Whenever I go to the supermarket I can’t wait to pick up “other goods”.

[xsithspawnx]

lol.  The sheer number of nationalistic comments here is hilarious!

[micah]

running as default was the worst thing to ever happen to total war. Thats what the R button is for

[Rockafella]

Love the commentary, keep up the good work

[erichzann]

Was looking for an ottoman video.. stayed for the brutal english

[JamLeGull]

Considering that it’s so unbalanced I can’t understand why you’d play on the hardest difficulty. It’s not challenging, it’s just bullshit.

oh my god, when you said, "butthole's moving all over the place" I spat the hot pocket out of my mouth

[JeopolitikTR]

I just started this series in 2022. Wish me luck Legend!

[michealrey]

glad that you are playing with another turkish empire

[TotalWar]

Nice! I played the Ottoman Empire in my own campaign offline and I thought it was one of the best choices of factions for diversity and a challenge. I want you to build a mosque in every continent and in nearly every province just for kicks to see Islam all over the world XD
