CIVILISATION MATCHUPS
YOUR CIV
OPPONENT
OttomansOttomans achieve military dominance through constant free unit production from Military Schools and flexible Vizier technologies, scaling cavalry and gunpowder armies that overwhelm opponents a full age before they can access comparable firepower.
Matchup advice3 TIPS
If you go for archers, you're just losing them to Sipahi. Sipahi is the greatest unit in the game, and making archers into them doesn't serve its purpose.
In the past, Mongols was undeniably the number one Dark Age civilization. However, that spot has belonged to Ottomans for a good while now.
The longer the game goes in Feudal without a significant lead for Mongols, the more it favors Ottomans because of healing from Imams and the Mehter.
