How to Nerf Turkey

[sunshine25]

This is a long shot since this game doesn't seem to get much attention, but I was wondering if there is a way to weaken Turkey significantly.

In every game I play either Russia or Austria go to war with Turkey and it becomes a 100 Years War, making French conquest of Europe a walk-over (Prussia and the UK simply aren't strong enough to do anything).

Turkey is a colossus in terms of manpower, money, and size. Austria and Russia get bogged down fighting it.

I'd like to make Turkey's army more backward or weaken it, but there is basically no information in the history files that seems to control this.

Best shot is a mod at this point.

50k+ stacks handle their gigastacks. Get vassals to run all over em and grab minor lands. Ai has that tenacity mere humans lack to micromanage microstacks.

For Russia:
1. lose vs persia, give em poland
2. get a poland vassal back from persia, now with persian modifiers.
3. add prussian and austrian polands to your persian goverment poland vassal.

4. or more like 2.5 vassalize persia.

To beat ottos, gotta reöease serbia and greece to be your vassals. Then freely take as much useless land as you ever want from ottos.
Feel free to vassalize egypt and more while at it. Brits tend to block the trip all the way into algiers tho.

Its really a gather all the tenacious vassals game tbh.

Still lacks finland just for starters. never mind all the other potential vassals out there.
