U go economically left take as much investments as u can then just go pan islamism or communism and not pay the debts, losing the balkan war doesnt matter cuz balkans mostly arent cores if u win the balkan war then unshould just release them as puppet so u only get investments in core places
fun fact: the Ottoman Public Debt Administration (OPDA) was created so that the Ottomans could pay back their debts and investors could get their returns (iirc). Though the main purpose of the OPDA was solely to make sure the Ottoman Empire doesn't default on their debts for the second time.
"If I have to kill all of you to get this done, so be it." My exact mindset when playing factions that have civil war or rebellions built into them LOL.

The purchase equipment decisions are incredible op, they just cost 10 pp and give enough equipment that you can outfit your entire army with just purchased equipment, so the fact that you might have +200% consumer goods from debt is irrelevant. Not to mention stacking enough consumer goods reductions with a good economy law will mean your massive debt doesn't even really cripple your economy that much.
The howitzers may not be amazing early game, but if I'm not mistaken, they scale mid to late game, and become much better than normal artillery. I always use them when I play this mod and usually the result is great. Unless things have changed recently. It's been a while since I last played it.
Playing challenging states makes for the most interesting runs. Love this mod. EDIT: Haha, just realised you're also Belgian as well. I just couldn't tell, because you don't have a strong accent. Subscribed.

Hello bitt3rsteel can you play Japan in the downfall mod or selow hights it wold be so much fun and i hope do a naval guide and the best ships to build please and thank you very much for the enjoyment you providing us with Thanks so much 😊😊😊❤❤❤
I love how, when Bitt3rSteel takes Athens and a few moments later he zooms out, Greece suddenly just has two capitals 😂 The other one is right besides his elite troops and the other one is in Crete
After just finishing playing as the Ottoman Empire I figured out if you rush army reform and surrender to the Italians then you can just barely hold on against the balkan war.
Hmmm very impressive stuff, but you should play the Ottomans in Kaissereich to experience an even more difficult (complicated) game. Save Attaturks disaster save Mr Bittersteel!

The only problem with this guy is the fact that coup route gives you much more penalties early on, and you'll have problems with stability until 1915.
Abd-ul-Hamid is overrated but he's the best bet we can ask for. For Balkan War how many men you lost? I lost ±160k and beat 367k. Wonder why you suggest Abd-ul-Hamid

i have seen his videos where he rescues disaster save. he's plenty bitter
