The Age of the Sultan

As the Ottoman armies secure their grip on the Italian boot, the heart of Christendom beats in terror. The Mediterranean has become a Turkish lake, and with the fall of Naples and the capitulation of Sicily, the path to Rome lies open. You stand at the precipice of history, commanding the most formidable war machine of the 15th century.

• Expand the Empire: Direct your Janissaries and naval fleets to siege Rome and push deep into the Italian peninsula.
• Stabilize and Rule: Maintain the iron peace within your territories while managing the logistics of a sprawling, multi-continental empire.
• Forge Destiny: Outmaneuver the fractured Italian states and the distant powers of Europe to cement Sultan Mehmed's legacy as the true heir to Rome.

Victory requires capturing the capital of the Papal States and unifying the Mediterranean coast under the Sultan's banner. Failure means the inevitable collapse of your supply lines and the rise of a grand European coalition against your reign.
