There was a strange development about Europa Universalis IV, one of the most popular strategy games in the world. The players came to the point of losing their minds because of the Ottoman Empire. Because the expansion pack named “Domination”, which brings the Ottoman Empire to the game with all its features, has changed all the balances in the game since its release. Let’s take a closer look at this development that will make you laugh under your mustache.
Europa Universalis IV’s expansion pack, called Domination, was released in the past few weeks. The Ottoman Empire was also fully included in the game with this expansion pack. However, the “Beylerbeylik” system of the Ottoman Empire led to the rise of the Ottoman Empire at a magnificent pace. As such, players trying to oppose the Ottoman Empire cannot show any power.
No country in Eastern Europe or Asia can resist the power of the Ottomans!
Above you see the expansion of the player using the name “trisolarian” from 1444 to 1517. The image shared on Reddit is believed to be a world record. The reason for this is the Beylerbeyliği system. The fact that this system, which the Ottomans used in real life, provided an advantage only to the Ottoman Empire as time passed, enabled the trisolarian to break a record. So how does the Beylerbeyliği system affect the game?
The Ottoman Beylerbeylik system is defined as autonomous vassals in Europa Universalis IV. As time passes, the communities become part of the Ottoman Empire without fighting or getting into any conflict. Moreover, in this process, additional resources are provided for the Ottoman Empire. Communities that do not fight, do not rebel, and do not interfere in diplomatic relations do nothing but support the Ottomans.
Players are crazy!
Europa Universalis IV: Domination’s Steam page and discussion thread on Reddit are full of criticism leveled at Paradox Interactive. The common point where these criticisms meet is that the Ottoman Empire was overpowered (op). As such, it is requested to remove the Beylerbeyliği system in the expansion pack. However, this goes against historical facts. We will see what the developer team will do in the coming days…
