SO I'm going to show you the one rumor mill roll that I think you all deserve to see:
Well that I think you deserve to see.
Its going to get worse.
Greek Rebels:D100 => 1
I mean, Suleiman is an intelligent and talented young man so there was only so much of a window that the Greeks would have been able to move in before he took care of them.

What happened was simple.
He saw an opportunity to catch his enemies off guard.
And took it. And maybe he won.
Actually, I'm going to do one more, just because it would be fucking amazing.
Charles the V:
D100 => 96 + D100 => 100 +D100 => 93+D100 => 92+D100 => 89
So Charles how is the New World?
Charles: The New World Belongs to me.

Why am I not surprised. Does no one know how to rise up and unify a nation beside Machiavelli!? This is why you don't rush in half cocked. You need a unified people, a chain of command, some bastard who keeps it all together, and most importantly, Grazini guns. Depending on what's happening with others, we may need to invest in expanding the military to strengthen our force projection at our borders.SO I'm going to show you the one rumor mill roll that I think you all deserve to see:

Lol. Charles decides to settle the native with the ultimate unifier, good booze and dancing.
Charles to Luciano: I see you have settled down and we are now kin. This pleases me, though I lament this likely means you have little interest in the new world, though I am also relieved, because it means we would never be at odds over it's bounty.
Hey Magoose, Charles going to send a wedding present?

Maybe, maybe not, I didn't roll for the Aztecs yet.
"Did..Charles just send the Fountain of Youth as a Wedding Present?" You look shocked as you look at the Golden Fountain while going back to read the letter Charles gave to you.
Knowing his luck, I wouldn't put it past him for somehow finding it and El Dorado.

I didn't roll for his loot.
Get Bryan to roll for it @Magoose
Something is missing from the end of this sentence, and I'm pretty sure it's "of you".
Oh, dammit!
Let's hope it doesn't work like the one Captain Jack Sparrow found.

So I took a look at things, and while the rebellion started, and an emperor was crowned, they never really consolidated the entire nation under them. I get the feeling Suleiman surrendered some cities rather than the entire area with the intention of coming back later.
Hmm. So we already have access to the bosphorus.
God damn our navy is super feared. Ironic given the Roman navy was kind of shit for most of history
Wait a minute.
So do we already have half or more of this or not? Anything less than half feels like a violation of the treaty.
Suleiman: "I am Suleiman the Magnificent, widely regarded as the greatest Sultan the Ottoman Empire has ever had. What did you Guys expect?"

The Times of Merchants
The Times of Merchants
The resurgence of the Italian Peninsula on the World's Prominence never thought to occur since the days of the Roman Empire spooked a lot of people of different groups across the known world.
With the Italian Navy wrecking havoc against those who tried to plunder and enslave many of Italy's people, the Arabian and European (and Asian) slavers and berserkers were forced to go on land – or risk their business becoming bust with the enslaved people liberated and brought to Italy for what they proclaim as "to bring them to glimpse and practice the Rebirth of the World's Brain and Wonder".
However, the Northern African and Middle East trade routes became treacherous. With many of the operations destroyed by the Italians, they want to perform revenge against their people and merchants to steal its wealth on the trade routes.
Such an incident occurred as an Italian caravan (or what's left of it) flees from the site with everything and every weapon they have on hand.
"Ai! Those bastards!" One of the Italian Merchants speaks to the other with scorn in his voice. "'Taxation'? More like Money-stealing!"
"What's the nearest Ottoman outpost!" His partner cries out in anger.
At first, the Ottoman Outpost laughed and arrested the Merchants and placed them in the City of Antioch to 'keep it quiet from the Italians'..just like the rest of the other traders from Italy that are trapped in the City.
It was fortunate for these souls that Sultan Suleiman The Magnificent arrived in the city for his yearly tours around the Ottoman Empire.
Suleiman walks along with his security guard to where the mayor of the City said to be a welcoming surprise that will 'Benefit the Ottoman Empire and take its Revenge!' So far, he wasn't seeing much changes in Antioch. Once a great fortress city that guarded the Eastern Roman Empire from any invasions coming from the Arabian Peninsula and the Persians..now becoming a simple outpost.
He couldn't help but shake his head, the Mamluks are trying to get their land in the Holy Lands returned with their current campaign.
It came as a shock to the Young Ruler to be bridled into a war quite quickly after the Italians defeated the Ottoman Empire..especially with the Mamluks who saw then a great time to invade as the Sultanate became weakened.
Fools, a lot of them! They forgot the Italians won their war through Naval Victories, not on Land!
So it didn't come to a surprise that the Ottoman Army, after being returned from the Italian regions after the war, defeated the Mamluks battle after battle in a quick turn of events..unfortunately the current economic hiccups caused them to stop and request for a ceasefire (that is likely to be rejected by the time he returns to Constantinople).
It was after finishing these thoughts that the Ottoman Sultan arrived to find..
"W-WHAT IS THIS?!" He thunders at the smiling mayor of Antioch.
"A Gift, Your Highness!" The Mayor speaks out with enthusiasm. "We can demand the Italians to pay back the Money they stole in exchange for the return of their Merchants!"
After a body dropped out of the Sultan's orders for execution on accounts of "Treason", the Sultan then ordered for the Italian merchants to be freed and head back home to Europe..with some consolation bribes to appease any of them and a garrison of the Sultan's most elite Janissary Troops to guard them as if they were their own children back to their home.
Once returned back to Konstantiniyye (and rolling his eyes at finding a rejection to his request for ceasefire from the Mamluk invaders), he wrote and declared a decree that merchants from the Italian Peninsula are to be given the most focus of protection out of any other Merchants entering and exiting the Empire.
For while the Empire may still be standing, the Italian Navy is still waiting for another chance to strike if any of their people are hurt over and in the seas.

Luciano staring pointedly at the flagship of the Italian Navy: that you would need the manpower your fielding in Constantinople to work hard at repairing your completely ravaged coasts, but I suppose your damaged lands and peoples matter less than the european land your father conquered. By all means, continue to be a disappointingly single note individual.
Who says he hasn't done that AND dealt with this simultaneously?
Seriously, DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE SULEIMAN. The dude was by NO means a 'One Note Individual', he was one of the greatest Rulers of all time.
