It sounds dumb just to point it out but Iran is the middle point between Ottomans and India.
They have about as in common with one as they do with the other.
Yes, that’s why this Baltic DLC has to sell well, then in the next DLCs they can focus entirely on Asia (with some South American DLC in between, either native (Mapuche-Tupi) or federal (Brazil-Argentina))…

Yes, I believe we should prioritize adding two new Asian civilizations: Persia and Oman. Both were historic adversaries of the Ottoman Empire. Alongside these new factions, we could also deliver a content revamp for the three older civilizations from The Asian Dynasties. We could rework their Consulate mechanics and introduce new revolution‑style or modernization‑reform mechanics for them. Asian nations have received very few meaningful updates ever since the Definitive Edition launched. It is high time they got some much‑needed attention.
