      Ottoman’s get free unit production with military schools as well as faster production in blacksmith influence. Also producing units and ageing up gives your expirence towards vizier points, which can unlock special bonis.

      The Byzantines get the cistern system which increases gathering rate and can be toogled to eithe faster production or research speed. On top of that they get an additional resource, olive oil which they passivly produce from food gathering and can be used to purchase mercenary units from other factions.

        Hells yeah AoE4! I’ve been a Byzantines main since they released that civ as an option. Love the cistern & aqueduct system.

        But I think the above commenter was referencing tabletop wargaming, not RTS.

      The difference between what?

      Those map games and shoving little plastic soldiers over the table top?
      Those map games are huge, having many armies on the map and managing your state. While shoving soldiers over the table top usually just involves your one army with no state management at all and the map just consisting of the game you are playing.

          The context is also my comment you replied to. Didn’t know what difference you meant.

          To make it simple: the Orthodox Christian Byzantine Empire was the eastern Roman Empire that continued on after the western Roman Empire went under.

          The Ottoman Empire is the Muslim Empire that took over after the Byzantine Empire got conquered.
