Ottoman Empire

The Ottoman Empire is a late-game Muslim superpower; it usually gets its first core in the early 1300s and maintains cores all the way until the end of the game in 1756.

The Ottomans are one of the most powerful nations in the game from 1517 onwards as they have a large total province count and a large max province count, as well as many large cities, such as Constantinople. This allows the Ottoman military to easily exceed 200k men, especially in the last era of the game.

My Ottoman strategy is similar to my Caliphate one; expand into your weak neighbours, but don't attack any other major powers unless you have a lot of negative unrest. This is especially true since the Ottomans aren't the dominant power in Europe (even at their height) like the Caliphate is.
