Ottoman army good

can some one give me a good ottoman army rep for good ones

Don't like giving away trade secrets but....... take waht th eenemy dosn't expect (meaning, don't spam melee) take 3-4 guard lancers, 5-8 of the best line inf, 2-4 melee max, a few weaker cav/missle cav, and 2-5 lights. Really any ottoman army can be a good army i fused right. No single build is best.

I have the best one. But it's a secret

A pretty well televised one though

i take, a gen, 3 shooter cav (mounted inf, maybe 1 camel gunner here), 3 lancers (2 siphai, 1 silahtar), 4 bashi bazouks (1/2 chevrons experience each), 4 cemaats (3/4 chevrons experience each), 5 nizam e cedit line infantry.

thanks for the hwlp guys +rep to the two that helped

Funny thing about the Ottoman army is that whatever you end up with, it always seems to make little to no sense yet for some reason it always turn out to be an effective force. One of its charms I am sure.

lol. I knew that I should have included the word variety in it.

Anyways, my ottoman builds, though far from secret, are rarely the same. So little sense to post one.

forgot to say no art

I wouldn't want you to be stuck to a few repetitive builds but I sometimes go 4 nizam I Cedit inf with 4 nizam lights, 2 nizam mounted, 2 cemaats, 2 bashi's 2 of the highest grade heavy lancers, and maybe 2 of their light cavalry if you can. this build give you a lot of options and if you use them all at correct times in their right intervals you will really do well. I suggest staying from the light attrition battle along with the line attrition battle, stick with your cavalry speed and your lancer's charges to take the advantage. also using ur bashi's as meat shields with your cemaats on the flanks can open up huge holes in enemy defenses where ur cavalry can just roll in. GL HF. hope you like that.

thanks + rep

My build (no art)

4 mounted nizamijedid ( with experience ) I plan to use these guys when my main army engages the enemy's main army so I can send those to the flank, almost succeeded once but tat was the only time I used them efficently
4 melee ( forgot the name )
3 nizamijedid rifles
1 light infantry ( forgot its name )
1 crap light infantry ( also forgot its name but its large in numbers, useful as meatsheild for rifles )
the rest are line
