So I was preparing to go to war with the Mamluks, but then fucking Tunis declared on them and called me in their war, now I'm in a truce with them (I WANT FUCKING JERUSALEM GODDAMNIT!), Qara Qoyunlu is my ally but they're fucking useless (tHrEaThEnD) so I want to vasslize them but we're still Royally married. I could go against Hungary but they have a bunch of allies and Austria as their Junior partner, same for Poland and Lithuania.

Crimea? Circassia? There are always opportunities for expansion when you're as big as the Ottomans.

Don't let the size of a rival's alliances paralyse you. At some point, you have to go to war with the big kids if you want that sweet power projection.

Crimea is my March, actually. Circassia is allied with Muscovy but I have Novgorod.

In that case, does Crimea have claims? Could you feed it?

If Novgorod's your ally, I say go for a war with someone nearby, either Poland-Lithuania or Muscovy. Who are your rivals?

Poland and France.

And Crimea has a claim on Charkovas and Adyghe

I'd have a crack at Poland. Your PP is shamefully low for the Ottomans. Are you embargoing and periodically insulting?

I think you should try to migrate up the sea coast and pick up a pagan religion on the way to Rome, then convert and already have one of the places needed for a Pentarch when you do. Your ability to survive all of the crusades and jihads that will inevitably be thrown your way may vary.
