Ottomans offer you one of the simplest and most effective strategies around: age up early and rush with janissary. I guess you can easily become master sergeant by just doing that.

In short:
  • At game start, send 5 vills to gather food at nearby hunts, send 2 vills to gather wood crates and to food afterwards, all new villager to food
  • Build a house and 1 or 2 trade posts with your wood. if the wood is not enough for a second tp, build a mosque
  • First shipment: 3 vills
  • Age up as soon as you hit 800food, use the politician that gives you 400 wood
  • While aging, send 4 vills to gather coin + send 2 settlers forward in the direction of your enemy to construct a forward base
  • When aged up, gather the 400 wood from crates, build 1 barrack + 2 houses
  • Second shipment: 5 Janissary
  • Start constructing janissaries immediately in your barrack
  • Third shipment: 700 wood for a second barrack + TPs + market and upgrades
  • Keep building janissaries in both barracks
  • Attack when you have 10-15 janissaries and keep sending more

Of course you can (and should!) always react to what your opponent does. If you see him building a lot of skirms/lbows/etc., you might want to add a stable for some cavalry. Abus are a very good addition to your jans as well, depending on your micro.

Don't play otto, it is the weakest civ. Worst eco growth , units are useless beyond fortress age and not many good military or eco ups
Try Japan, China or India

Don't listen to the haters. I might write a guide on this topic.
I am actually waiting for the rec game search tool to be repaired to do it.

I didn't keep my old otto recs and I don't play this noob civ anymore.
I remember pr 28 rouga won vs mankle, pr26 rouga won two times vs erik, and several times vs kynesie lol.

If you want otto recs just check the pkclan and jpcommunity.
Shmras used to win by going ff every game (he won as otto vs dutch and otto vs france vs raphael in the pkclan), other than that nagayumi won vs mankle's iro with a otto ff, and Umeu played some Otto too iirc.

they would show jan/abus I guess^^ btw I didn't say that, I said you always do the same kind of BO : either a colonial timming or a semi ff, which aren't bad builds, so I would like to show them.

@KaanHoca @bwinner

here is a tournament game between me and OPTIMUS__PRIME - i did a more standard FF build order, and Opti did a semi FF with silk road sent. he got control of the trade line and had a really strong economy. the build that Opti did is probably the most fun way to play as ottoman because you will actually get enough resources to make their most fun units (abus guns + whatever else)

unfortunately... i lost the recs between me and diarouga of our practice matches for the tournament. they aren't good games (diarouga just beasts on me every time), but if i had the recs you would get to see some well-executed build orders from him. in particular i was looking for the revo build but unfortunately the recs are lost :(

You clearly don't know the rules of dueling. You're always allowed to bring a Second. I summon @gibson to fite for me. :hehe:
