The Turkish military is one that relies on Horse Archers in the early game, and adds heavy cavalry and some very strong missile units in the late game. Thier horse archers include lighter Turkomans and heavier Sipahis, which can also be trained in cities once a Racing Track is built. They also get a few units of elite melee cavalry from Fortresses and Citadels. The Turks also get a good variety of foot missile troops, such as Ottoman Infantry and Janissary Archers; two very effective and versatile archer units. After Gunpowder they get some the Monster Bombard; the best siege artillery in the game, as well as Janissary Musketeers; the best firearm unit in the game. All Janissary units are built from cities instead of castles, another advantage. The biggest weakness of the Turks is their very limited melee Infantry, while they have a few good Spear units, they don't have anything that can stand up to European Swordsmen at all. Despite this weakness, the Turks have a powerful roster.
