Mate, I’ve detailed here a full comparison between Ottoman, Persians and Moroccans architectures and showed how absolutely different they are from each other
In the same thread I’ve showed how accurate is the Ottoman representation in AoE3, confronting real buildings with in-game images
I’m asking you to stop promoting distortions, as you’re clearly advocating for terrible cultural misconceptions
The erroneous AoE2 design for the Turks is a far-fetched, stereotypical depiction that does not reflect any reality
Paradoxically, the Central Asian architectural set of the Cumans, Tatars (both Turkic people) is a good representation of Persian architecture that would have been ideal for the said Persians but also the Seljuks, especially the Eastern ones that used Persian architecture rules to implement their own specificities (four-iwan plan, polygonal tower tombs, use of stone instead of bricks, sophisticated stone-carving decorations, combination of madrasah as spiritual and catering places)(unlike the Anatolian Seljuks that also borrowed Byzantine inspirations, from which the Ottomans will emerge and later will rely on even further), on which the Turks’s civ is mainly based upon
