= Overview =
The Ottoman Empire is a middle eastern faction of Napoleon total war, spanning from Egypt to the lower balkan area. Poor militia, decent elite units, excellent cavalry and incredible artillery. It has a nice starting position in the former holy lands to the south east, with some easily defendable terrain to their north western territorities. The lands are poor however, and your first priority should be to get some roads and other infrastructure going. The OE starts out with a lot of enemies as well, and with poor starting units. All factors combined makes the Ottoman Empire a very hard faction to play as. Definately not a faction for new people, and even veterans are going to have a tough time with this faction.

The OE isn't available from the Coalition Campaign menu so you will need to mod it in yourself, or get an available mod to unlock it (mod links are under "External Links"). Even when you manage to unlock it the OE won't spawn any rakes nor gentlemen which adds another difficulty to an already tough faction.
