![]() It's also mispronounced the correct pronunciation would be "nâkısü'r-rumûz." ![]() Secondly, "nâkısü'l-rumûz-u" is a literal translation of "lacking signs," but it doesn't make any sense in Ottoman. In the prefaces of books there can literally be multiple pages of praise to the sultan. The Ottomans had literally hundreds of ways to say "master of the world" or something along these lines - cihan-ban, cihan-dar, cihan-gir, cihan-küşa, cihan-sitan, cihan-ara, cihan-piray, just to name a few that start with the word "cihan" (world). Firstly, "üstad-ı cihan" doesn't mean "master of the world" but "the world's greatest master craftsman/artist," since "üstad" is a master craftsman or a guild master. "If you would be master of the world, you must first be master of your people and however lacking signs of capability.") If you would be master of the world, you must first be master of your people-and you show no signs of mastery in this matter. Because of this, a pun is certainly intended. King Solomon is known in Islam as Sulaymān and thus is Suleiman's namesake. "Seeing that your nation always a renderer of harmony, your wisdom of Suleiman of perception that does various peoples is necessary.") You, too, must possess the wisdom of Solomon, for your nation is made of many people who live in harmony. ![]() Despite all of this it's a huge improvement in historical accuracy from the previous installment, where Suleiman spoke plain modern Turkish. Also, almost all of the sentences have broken grammar and incorrect vocabulary. For example, when declaring war he pronounces the word "your" as "sizin" with n as the final consonant sound, while in Suleiman's time it was pronounced as "sizüng" with ng as the final consonant sound. He speaks Ottoman Turkish using late 19th/early 20th century Ottoman pronunciation rather than the pronunciation of Suleiman's time. With two unique units available in the Medieval and Renaissance periods, those times often coincide with the primary wave of Ottoman conquests. Through the Grand Bazaar the Ottomans can gain additional resources, helping their armies and cities grow even while conquering. The unique governor Ibrahim assists these conquests and eases the concerns of foreign powers. Their Great Turkish Bombard ability allows the Ottoman to siege even the most powerful city in short order and should ensure those cities remain under Ottoman rule. It gives him access to the Janissary and 1 extra Governor title once he researches Gunpowder, and a unique Governor named Ibrahim with military and diplomatic abilities. He tries to maintain the happiness and loyalty of his cities and dislikes leaders who have unhappy or disloyal cities or a small number of captured cities. Sultan of Sultans and Khan of Khans, lead your people to greatness. All praise to you, Suleiman the lawgiver, rightly called Magnificent! Master of the sublime house of Osman, your loyal servants stand ready to carry your commands to the farthest corner of your mighty land, while your foes tremble at the sight of your armies.
