Looking at that massive red blob on the Warera map and feeling a cold sweat? Do you wake up at night wondering if a Janissary army is knocking on your border? Fear not! Here are the golden rules for becoming a global power—or at least avoiding total annihilation:
Is your economy struggling? Don't worry about it. Just pledge 10% (or let’s be honest, 50%) of your gold to Turkiye as a "Peace Tax." This isn't a bribe; it’s the world’s most effective "World Cup Viewing Insurance." States that pay tribute to Turkiye don't have headaches; they just sip their tea and watch the chaos from the sidelines.
If Turkiye raises an eyebrow at another state, you have only one job: Declare war on that state immediately. Why? Because while Turkiye is erasing them from the map, you can sneak in and grab a city or two just by saying, "I was there too!" Nothing beats free real estate.
While other states use formal diplomatic jargon, keep your communications with Turkiye simple. Stick to "Eyw," "Sa," "As," and a healthy amount of "CcC." Remember, the strongest argument on a Warera diplomatic table is a glass of Turkish tea. If Turkiye offers you tea, you’ve basically won the game.
Hang a Turkish flag on your tallest building—so large that other players looking from the satellite view mistake your country for a Turkish province. Camouflage saves lives. While your enemies are too terrified to attack, you can develop your tech in peace (just don't forget to ask for permission!).
Your armies might be weak, but your kitchen must be legendary. When Turkiye’s armies march through your lands, don't just give them right-of-way; provide roasted peppers and frothy ayran. A well-fed Turkish army will burn the entire world just to keep you safe.
