Rise of Empires: Ottoman (2020–2022)
9/10
The idyllic representation of Empires should stop
29 December 2022
I think the idyllic representation of Ottomans should stop. It's nothing glorious in Empires! If only we're thinking how the janissaries were formed, and you'll understand the sickening aspects of Empires oppression. The "heroic" janissaries were ruthless soldiers, because they were raised from childhood in a draconian structure, grabbed from the parents arms, usually coming from the Balkan countries as a direct tribute for the Empire, thrown in a foreign lands, forced to adopt other religion than their own religion. The irony is janissary could end up fighting against his own parents lands. But I still appreciate the producer tried with certain accuracy to take in consideration historical data .
