** Line infantry, the most common infantry available to European powers, start the game with no access to bayonets. Three different types of bayonets must be researched in sequence before they can be used: the plug bayonet, the ring bayonet and the socket bayonet. However, in real life, the socket bayonet was already in widespread use by the time of the game's start (1700 A.D.), while the player likely won't have access to it until a few decades have gone by.

** The Puckle Gun, much like the historical weapon it was based on, is an example of something with a lot of flash and almost no practicality. It's a very late-game technology that fires slightly faster and farther than a musket but is an expensive novelty that is purely defensive which means it's not going to do a lot of good for you in field battles and sieges unless you're the defender.

They have a lot of territory that is underdeveloped and whatever few troops and ships they have available are really behind with the times. Their economy has also stagnated heavily ever since the Europeans discovered the new world and established new trade routes, effectively circumventing the Ottoman's position as the gateway to Asia. All of this means that the Ottomans are hard-pressed to defend themselves against bold invaders seeking to annex their lands and rise back up to being a prestigious power in Europe.

And the problems with public order in those conquered territories become increasingly harder to deal with. You can very well pop your empire like a balloon by overexpanding and collapsing from bankruptcy, invasions, and rebellions.

There is a public order bonus due to repression, a decrease in the cost of units, and because most nations are of this government type, there is a diplomatic bonus in being one. However, the decreases to research, economic development, and lower class public order are very bad for the middle game, and the lack of any mechanism besides firing one minister per turn, makes it harder to get rid of a bad government. Also, your allies are going to betray you or abandon you at some point unless you are scrupulous in never stepping on their toes.

* {{Protectorate}}: An option for minor nations is to become one to the larger nations, and you can even force a great power to do this. This provides no benefit other than military access and an alliance, which you can get in one package peacefully with a bit of diplomacy, and since you're likely only to get a protectorate after a war, you might as well just go the whole nine yards and wipe out the faction. Britain starts with the Thirteen Colonies, the French with Louisiana, and the Ottoman Empire with the Barbary States.
