Working plan to beat the Ottomans: Do nothing.

I've just finished defensive ideas, so I have bonuses to fort defence and to enemy attrition. Plus, you know. Desert nation. There's already been 42k Turkish men lost to attrition, they only have 23k manpower left, they're already bolstering their forces with mercenaries, and they haven't even gotten to Aleppo. I'm gonna go west(where the air is clean) and give Tunis a kicking, get them out of the war, then turn around and take on the Ottoman forces.

You should develop alternate reality technology and hop over to my Hungary game from a while back, they will gladly kill the fuckers again.

I like the sound of that. I didn't beat the Ottomans, but I did make them expend all their manpower and hire 80k mercenaries to get four provinces.

Shame that they don't have any rivals who might capitalise on this moment of relative weakness, so I'm most likely fucked again once the truce is up.

Driving an enemy into poverty is an excellent way to break them.
Fuck their economy and they'll soon have rebels everywhere and no armies to put them down with.

K so playing a Muscovy game and everything's going well.
Reduced Novgorod to 3 provinces and annexed a couple vassals.
Now all I need to become Russia is Admin tech 10 and 1 of two provinces.

Problem.
1 province is owned by a junior partner in a personal union which means I can't just annex them.
The other is owned by Lithuania.

*sigh*

I guess I'll finish annexing my vassals and then make a couple alliances.
