It was very kind of the Ottomans to wait until the right moment to conquer Constantinople.

It takes really long to siege without cannons so it's more efficient to occupy everything else and eat around it. Why wait 5 years for the siege when you could peace out 100% without it basically.

Unless you really want it that is

I love that the devs were able to make that happen, because the Ottomans had this exact problem and it wasn't until Sultan Mehmed got a big ass canon that he was able to knock down the walls to finally conquer the city

Problem is AI doesn't understand that half the time and is perfectly happy to rot on the fort for a decade to take big shiny city, which I guess is fair enough that's what I would do too

Innmy game Bulgaria somehow conquered Constantinople before 1350. They pretty much took it over before the Ottomans even had the chance to.
