The Aegean Sea is controlled mainly by Venice and Genoa hindering control of the Constantinople trade node. In the Balkans, the important trade center of Constantinople and the region of Morea are held by the declining nation of Byzantium and its vassal, Athens. Economically, they hold the majority of the Constantinople node trade power with very easy access to the rest. Internally, the country is divided between the Orthodox and Sunni faiths. For new players, the early game will likely be focused on consolidating the country's position in those regions.

They begin owning most of Anatolia and the southern Balkans. The only question is this: where will his armies turn to first?Įuropa Universalis IV starts on November 11th 1444, the day after the Ottomans victory over the Christian alliance at Varna. For 'The Grand Turk', there can be no compromise – the House of Osman is to be the supreme authority in the land. It is he who will go on to transform the Ottoman state into an empire, acquiring Constantinople as an imperial capital and establishing a centralized administration to rein in the marcher-lords and old Turkish families. Having defeated the Crusader armies, the old sultan Murad II is now on his way back to his estates in Manisa, leaving the government in the hands of the young Mehmed II. The Ottomans have come to power with the military backing of numerous marcher-lords, still highly autonomous on the Balkan frontier, while the administration lies in the hands of the Turkish aristocracy, literate in the ways of statecraft, but largely independent of the sultan's authority.Īll this is about to change. These are the famous Janissaries, who will in time grow into a powerful standing army. The sultan's authority is enforced only by his small household of servants, recruited from slaves captured in war and from the 'devshirme', the periodic conscription of Christian youths from the Balkan countryside. The realm ruled by the Ottoman dynasty is not yet a centralized state in 1444. Further south, Skanderbeg leads Albania in revolt against the Ottomans, supported by Venice, which still dominates the seas. The lesser princes in between can survive only by playing the great powers off one another. Byzantium now lies exposed and Hungary has been forced on the defensive, but with the fortress of Belgrade, still serves as a strong bulwark against further Ottoman expansion. In Europe, the Ottomans have defeated the Crusaders in the Battle of Varna, killing Wladyslaw, the Polish and Hungarian king.

In the east, Ottoman control has been reimposed in the aftermath of the Timurid invasion, but several beyliks remain independent.
