Word from the devs is rare unfortunately. It’s been a long time since the last patch.
I believe the general player sentiment is that Ottomans are top tier in 1v1 with the US. Some people might put the Germans in there as well.
Ottoman Grenadiers certainly don’t need a buff and are probably the most annoying unit Ottomans have at the moment.
A lot of threads have been made about the ottomans, one example being my own addition to the genre Ottomans historical weaknesses have all been removed…
The satirical thread had a point: Ottomans are super op, everything is better than it should be for basically no reason. The amount of engagement it got was fairly large, imo because people were having fun at the expense of something that has been unfair for months.
