Once you get 350 Stone, build 2nd Town Center behind your base to protect future Farm placements. Ideally you want it near Wood.

<- Ideal economy balance should look like this:

0000

• Make a big army, fight a lot with your opponent before they can set up their economy and slowly grab Relic and capture Sacred Sites
• Our goal now is to slow down the game to get Vizier Point until our economy is strong enough to go Age 4 comfortably.

0000

• Vizier Point Advanced Academy -> * -> Siege Crews
• *For the 4th Vizier Point, you can choose any upgrade you want, but it's too early to really benefit from Siege Crews, so leave that one for last. My recommendations:
• - Mehter Drums increases your army movement speed, which is tremendously useful in team games (large maps).

0000

• Upgrade Sipahi to elite.
• If enemy is not making a lot of Archer, also upgrade Janissary to elite and research Janissary Guns.
• Otherwise upgrade Crossbowman to elite.

0000

• University: Biology (-> Incendiary Arrows ) -> Elite Army Tactics -> Chemistry -> Siege Works

• <- Ideal economy balance should look like this:
• Once you have a good bank of resources, you can delete Villager thanks to Military School free units.

• Production balance:
• 5 Barracks; 5 Archery Range; 5 Stable; 2 Siege Workshop

Once you are close to max population, gather a lot of Wood and do the Farm transition. You can keep reinforcing your army slowly thanks to Military School and Mehmed Imperial Armory, so the impact should be lower than for other civilizations.
