[Kazilan]

I agree with out-flanking when attacking. The only other tactic I try is to pin one side of my enemy's army with spears and then bring cavalry around that same side to attack their general. It leaves my other side soft, but if I can rout or kill their general it is generally worth it.

Chewbacca, I dont have the expansion and have the same problem. For whatever reason, ottoman infantry arent available when I start early and play for a while, yet if I start in the late or high period, they are. In my current game I've already got janissaries, but still no ottomans!
