ARMY OF THE SULTAN Padisah: AmirAlMuminin_Selim Sadr-i Azam: Shawa_Super INFORMATION Since the Great Turkish War, the Ottoman Empire has experienced a significant decline, with Western powers eager to carve up its territories. Will the empire stand idle, or will it rise to defend its legacy? From the sands of Maghreb to the peaks of Caucasus, the crescent will shine once again, and the Ottoman Empire will reclaim its former glory! The Ottoman Empire, often viewed as a major world power, emerged in Anatolia from the Turcoman groups once tied to the Seljuk realm—peoples whose distant steppe heritage is often linked to ancient confederations like the Xiongnu. For centuries it dominated much of Southeast Europe, Western Asia, and North Africa. From the 13th to early 20th century, it extended its rule deep into southeastern and Central Europe, shaping regional cultures and influencing trade and politics across vast lands.
