Ottomans 1.4

[marco]

Anyone who has experience with the Ottomans in 1.4? I tried twice, got the Germiyanids when they still had their vassals, then started integrating their lands. Orthodox rebels already started growing. Then took large parts of Byz, made everything into a vassal except Konstantinople's province.

Country then explodes because the Orthodox rebels trigger and around 95% of the country revolts. I looked for privileges and gov reforms or anything to prevent it, but it just seems impossible. Didn't try accepting Greek as it would put me severly over culture limit, but that would be the first step as soon as I had the +1 culture cap. Doubt it would help though as the rebel growth is severe.

-I accepted Greek culture, it pushes you over the limit but that is fine
-I used Rise of Rise of the Turks situation options to vassalize neighbouring Beyliks or took land from them
-Once I had 4 vassals, and eventually Egypt as ally, no revolt became threat as revolters had much less troops
-I only pushed into Europe once Anatolia was conquered

Some other interesting stuff happened too, like Hungary was conquered, Vallachia formed Romania, Naples/2 Sicilies grew very large but eventually fell as Italian wars situation brought them into constant fights. Muscovy blobs (normal) with Georgia (too much), England is very weak, Castile formed Spain by conquering everyone around it. Bohemia has not taken single province.
