Good fun session there.
The Ottoman Empire saw a large expansion, with several wars being waged against our enemies.
Firstly, a war of revenge was waged against Ak Koyunlu after their alliance with Crimea expired. Crimea joined in on the side of the strong, which saw the Ottoman Empire eventually annex the renegade state.
This war secured the flank of the planned thrust against the Mameluke dynasty, and in 1514, large Ottoman army's crossed the Syrian frontier, whilst a naval expedition landed at Cairo. Within the year, the entire Mameluke empire was added to the Ottoman empire.
It was with some unease that the Sultan saw the newly formed Mughal empire declare war. However in a series of battles, Babur was slain, and Iraq and Basrah added to the empire. No trouble was caused by the attempted uprising of the Mamelukes shortly after this, and the army's of the Sultan started moving west and north.
With some delay, a new campaign was launched against Hungary, which itself was rocked by internal rebellions and several wars. The new Sultan Suleyman led the charge that saw this kingdom annexed outright, and in turn took further lands off Poland, and added the former Genovese holdings in the Crimean area to the Empire.
Following the end of these wars, much effort has been made into pacifying the locals, and mullah's have arrived en masse to aid in converting the infidels. With several vassals, including Seibenburgen, Qara Koyunlu, the Hedjaz, and Algiers in the Ottoman ranks, the future looks bright for the Ottomans.
