We need either a permanent player or sub for the Ottoman Empire in Europe's Golden Age 5. The OE is still a major power on the globe with the worlds 2nd highest manpower and in the top 3 in tax and production income. It's econ and land tech is competitive and it hasn't even begun to build CCs yet, that would raise its MP considerably higher.
It is currently in the middle of a war with Austria (first part fought by a sub) where superior Austrian Morale, Leaders and tactics (KJ the great in Austria) have turned the tide against the turks. However, if the OE makes peace now, it would only need to release one province to Austria while France would surrender Croatia to satisfy the archdukes' remaining greed.
There are many avenues and oppurtunities still left for the OE and 100 yrs of gametime to go.
