Ottomans

The Ottoman or the Ottoman Empire was a European campaign and they controlled modern day Turkey, Eastern Europe, parts of the Middle East and much of the North African coast. In the New World the Ottomans did not do much in conquering lands, but perhaps they tried to take some land in the Caribbeans.

The Ottoman Empire is considered to be the most difficult faction to play in Age of Empires III. One reason is because the economic development tends to start somewhat slower than others. The Ottomans make up for a small economy by being able to create unlimited settlers from their town centers. To keep the villager production constant the Ottomans need to build a Mosque early in the game and continually research improvements for the building.

The Ottomans also have more unique units than any other civilization in the game. The Ottomans can also build the Artillery Foundry before all of the other civilizations, giving them earlier access to their artillery.
