The Ottoman Empire is unusual in that diplomatic penalties to territorial expansion don't apply to it fully it can expand as far as it wants without impacting its diplomatic relations. Finally, most of its best troops can only be recruited in its starting regions, so in the rare situations it manages to expand significantly outside its initial borders, the Ottoman Empire cannot easily replace lost high quality troops. It faces unique disadvantages: while it starts with a couple of dhows, it cannot field any more merchant ships, meaning that it one of the only factions that cannot fully take full advantage of trade nodes.
