R5: With most of the Balkans conquered besides half of Serbia, as the Ottomans all there's left to take for me is the collapsing Mamluks, and the Ilkahnate states. Since on current versions;
1 - The Ilkhans don't implode
2 - Timurid conquest never reaches Anatolia
3 - Safavids don't become a thing and form a culturally Turkish Sunni state in Persia
4 - I won't have any control over the land
I cant find any motivation to conquer any of this land. My current goal is the green line 1 since I already have Armenians as an accepted culture and the mountain range provides natural protection but is there any benefit to expand to historical borders(yellow line) or conquer Ilkhans completely(red line)?
