Beware: You only have to capture Constantinople &#8211; you can lose it again in the very same turn! The achievement triggers, once one of your units enters Constantinople. The guide below will show not only that, but also how to win the Into the Renaissance scenario on Deity difficulty.<\/p>\n<h2>Mehmet the Conqueror &#8211; First steps<\/h2>\n<p>Social policies: Select Liberty &#8211; go for a worker (Citizenship) and then head for the free settler (Republic -&gt; Collective Rule). There&#8217;s probably other first choices that will work, too. Choosing the Liberty tree is mainly to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>improve the land around Aleppo quickly<\/li>\n<li>not have to BUILD more workers<\/li>\n<li>speed up settler production<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>With the above kicked off, you should produce a scout to seek spots to found cities. My priority after this is on pumping out a small army as quickly as possible. Build another swordsman immediately, followed by 2 catapults and 2 composite bowmen.<\/p>\n<h3>Technological Research<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1443\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1443\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kalle-online.net\/blog\/?attachment_id=1443#main\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"1443\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.kalle-online.net\/blog\/renaissance-mehmet-conqueror-steam-achievement-guide\/civilization-5-into-the-renaissance-turks-deity-technology-head-for-gunpowder\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.kalle-online.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/civilization-5-into-the-renaissance-turks-deity-technology-head-for-gunpowder.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1600,900\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Civilization 5 Into the Renaissance Turks Deity Technology head for Gunpowder\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;You&amp;#8217;ll need to get to Machinery and Gunpowder ASAP.&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Civil Service &amp;#8211; Guilds &amp;#8211; Metal Casting &amp;#8211; Machinery&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/www.kalle-online.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/civilization-5-into-the-renaissance-turks-deity-technology-head-for-gunpowder-300x168.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/www.kalle-online.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/civilization-5-into-the-renaissance-turks-deity-technology-head-for-gunpowder-1024x576.jpg\" class=\"wp-image-1443 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kalle-online.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/civilization-5-into-the-renaissance-turks-deity-technology-head-for-gunpowder-300x168.jpg\" alt=\"Civilization 5 Into the Renaissance Turks Deity Technology head for Gunpowder\" width=\"300\" height=\"168\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kalle-online.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/civilization-5-into-the-renaissance-turks-deity-technology-head-for-gunpowder-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.kalle-online.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/civilization-5-into-the-renaissance-turks-deity-technology-head-for-gunpowder-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.kalle-online.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/civilization-5-into-the-renaissance-turks-deity-technology-head-for-gunpowder.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1443\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Civil Service &#8211; Guilds &#8211; Metal Casting &#8211; Machinery<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<ol>\n<li>Civil Service &#8211; Pikemen are a welcome improvement and help defending Sinai, but more importantly, more food next to rivers makes your first cities grow faster.<\/li>\n<li>Guilds &#8211; Your economy is not worth a dime, you&#8217;ll need some trading posts and ideally National Treasury<\/li>\n<li>Metal Casting &#8211; to build workshops<\/li>\n<li>Machinery &#8211; to finally build Crossbowmen<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Now one might argue it makes sense to first head for Machinery, to have Crossbowmen even earlier.

This production will contribute greatly towards building your first army. However without floodplains (or wheat resources) the city won&#8217;t produce much until you reach Civil Service. Anyway: The hills in the NE should become home to your 3rd city latest (I founded Ankara there in turn 40).<\/p>\n<p>DON&#8217;T ever build a city at the coast! The Mediterranean will be &#8220;flooded&#8221; with enemy ships soon.

I brought some units of my Jerusalem army up and defended against the units they sent after me. Not long after that Saladin of the Ayyubids declared war on me. Not able to fight on both fronts just yet, I soon lost Jerusalem.<\/p>\n<p>I reloaded and bribed Saladin (of the Ayyubids) against Theodora (Byzantium) in turn 33. That&#8217;s particularly easy, because they don&#8217;t share the same religion. Their war lasted until turn 49, without Saladin sending one single unit across the sea. So both of them amassed units, while only Byzantium sent some in range of my Composite Bowmen. One turn after they made peace, Saladin declared war on me, marching on Jerusalem in turn 50.<\/p>\n<p>Clever diplomacy will always buy you some time, but war is inevitable.

I captured and disbanded them, trusting that England won&#8217;t be able to send troops into the holy land.

This makes them ideal to capture enemy cities from behind your lines. You can cross for example 2 hills and still have one movement point to capture a city. Also you can move behind enemy lines and attack siege units or archers to support your offense.<\/td>\n<td>The backbone of the Turkish army is the Janissary. It&#8217;s unique ability is amazing: Whenever you kill an enemy unit with a Janissary, it heals by 50 HP! Given you have enough ranged units behind your front lines you can always half kill the enemy units and finish them with a half-dead Janissary, only to find your Janissary fully healed!!!<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h3>The Turkish Unique Ability &#8211; Barbary Corsairs<\/h3>\n<p>All melee naval units have the Prize Ships promotion, allowing them to capture defeated ships. Pay only one-third the usual cost for naval unit maintenance.<br \/>\nThe Turks unique ability seems like the necessary negative balance to your very useful unique units. These traits are not very useful in this game, as you&#8217;ll only have a fleet very late in the game (if at all).<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>Basic tactics &#8211; pioneers, rotating and healing your units<\/h3>\n<p>When I see &#8220;Let&#8217;s Plays&#8221; of Civ 5 on Youtube I sometimes wonder: People rarely apply my tactics for warfare, although some small things make life so much easier (in my opinion). Here&#8217;s my two points:<\/p>\n<h4>Build Roads<\/h4>\n<p>When going to war &#8211; bring some workers! At least 2, maximum 4-5 depending on your economy and the width of your front line. First: Build roads on your side of the border! This allows you to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>move siege units 2 fields, set up and still fire in the same turn<\/li>\n<li>move veteran archers (with logistics!!!) 2 fields and still fire 2 times in the same turn<\/li>\n<li>rotate your units faster, extract dying veterans (and rookies that can be saved without losing veterans)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Those roads are a drain to your economy, but it&#8217;s worth it. It helps keeping losses low and in general increases your flexibility to respond to the AIs moves.<\/p>\n<h4>Pillage, Heal and Repair<\/h4>\n<p>Always move a worker with your front line melee units. This allows you to move in position (where your unit will be under heavy attack) and in the next turn <em>pillage for +25HP\u00a0<strong>and<\/strong> heal +10HP<\/em>. Now have your worker repair the improvement. The first turn you can even <em>pillage <strong>again <\/strong>for +25HP<\/em> thus healing your unit in one turn for 60HP! In enemy territory!!! A unit with <em>Cover <\/em>can survive heavy fire when backed up with a pioneer (as I call my front line workers).<\/p>\n<h4>Defend<\/h4>\n<p>With a giant army you can be very offensive of course. On Deity difficulty it&#8217;s very unlikely you&#8217;ll have the biggest army. So defend. Garrison your units, have them heal at least 10HP every turn, while your enemy attacks. If you can&#8217;t extract your unit or have a fresh one to take it&#8217;s place &#8211; leave it there and draw as much enemy fire as possible. Don&#8217;t waste them attacking stronger units only to die or even worse: be almost dead on that tile unable to move &#8211; this will open your ranged units to counter attacks!<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Using the above tactics I flooded the plains at Adrianople and captured it in turn 114. Extending my borders to 2 tiles before Constantinople it was plain to see where the siege-citadel had to go. Leaving one tile between the coast and Constantinople my citadel pushed the border directly to the city walls. Both the hilly landscape and the forest next to Constantinople come handy: Ranged units can&#8217;t fire across those (unless placed on a hill themselves).<\/p>\n<p>Building roads allowed my promoted Crossbowmen to get in range, fire once or twice and get out of the danger zone again. For the sake of killing the Byzantine navy around their capitol I sacrificed some newbie-Crossbowmen. Now it&#8217;s only a matter of time until you reach the Steam Achievement: Bombard Constantinople often and long enough, defend against Byzantine units and sooner or later, you&#8217;ll become &#8220;Mehmet the Conqueror&#8221;!<\/p>\n<div class=\"tiled-gallery type-rectangular tiled-gallery-unresized\" data-original-width=\"688\" data-carousel-extra='{&quot;blog_id&quot;:1,&quot;permalink&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.kalle-online.net\\\/blog\\\/renaissance-mehmet-conqueror-steam-achievement-guide\\\/&quot;,&quot;likes_blog_id&quot;:61551448}' itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageGallery\" > <div class=\"gallery-row\" style=\"width: 688px;

What happened then was new to me: I lost it again. <strong>Six times<\/strong><strong>.<\/strong> It got captured and recaptured in turn 126, 127, 128. In turn 129 I held it one turn. Same in 132. In turn 134 I finally conquered Constantinople for good. Overall it changed sides 13 times.<\/p>\n<p>Two important things about that:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>When the city is recaptured (&#8220;liberated&#8221;), so are all immediately surrounding tiles! So if you built a citadel right next to the city &#8211; this will belong to your opponent now, dealing 30 DMG each turn your unit stays on a tile next to or on it!<br \/>\nSo never build a citadel right next to the city unless you&#8217;re sure to always be able to conquer it back.<\/li>\n<li>The tiles your side of Istanbul are hills. Keep that in mind when ending a turn and chances are high you&#8217;ll lose it (or any other city). Even with roads you&#8217;ll need horsemen to reconquer the city, crossing those hills! Place them on a tile from where you can reach the city and retreat behind your lines to heal your horseman.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Advancing west I still encountered heavy Byzantine resistance. Tyana, at the north coast of the Aegean got captured the first time in turn 143. I only had it for good in turn 173!!!

You&#8217;ll want to win that scenario. By then it&#8217;ll probably take some more VP to achieve that.<\/p>\n<p>Advancing into the Balkans I realized Nicaea was a city of 31!!! Means 15 after capture &#8211; a huge impact on happiness and 15 turns of resistance rendering the city useless. I captured it (15), let it be liberated (7) and took it again, getting a nice small city of 3. The rest is pretty straightforward: Repeat the same strategy, build roads and overwhelm the Byzantine troops.<\/p>\n<p>Greece and the Aegean got incorporated into my empire in turn 174 and 178 when I captured Bari in Northern Greece and Ani, the island in the middle of the sea. Ani got captured and liberated 9 times. Here you gotta make sure to always have 1 melee unit embarked and in range or a melee naval unit in range of the city to recapture it. Conquering the Balkans with the Sardica (turn 170) and Nicopolis (turn 176) gave me plenty of border towards Austria. In the beginning they even were afraid of me, although they had the much more &#8220;pointier sticks&#8221;.<\/p>\n<div class=\"tiled-gallery type-square tiled-gallery-unresized\" data-original-width=\"688\" data-carousel-extra='{&quot;blog_id&quot;:1,&quot;permalink&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.kalle-online.net\\\/blog\\\/renaissance-mehmet-conqueror-steam-achievement-guide\\\/&quot;,&quot;likes_blog_id&quot;:61551448}' itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageGallery\" > <div class=\"gallery-row\" style=\"width: 688px;

In turn 183 Ulaanbaatar fell, as did Dalandzadgad in turn 191. Before the game ended I made peace with the Mongols in turn 198. Not because it was necessary, but rather because I couldn&#8217;t wait to win the scenario.<\/p>\n<p>The last 30 turns, starting in the 170ies I was fighting at 3 fronts: In the Balkans, the Caucasus and Northern Africa. To compensate the (inevitable) losses (of newbie units) make sure, you&#8217;ll produce at leat 3-4 new units per turn and spread them evenly in all directions.<\/p>\n<p>Now I couldn&#8217;t end the game with Byzantine cities remaining on my &#8220;subcontinent&#8221; Anatolia: Stopping the offense at Danube river, I defended there with a small army of veterans and mostly newbies. Most veterans took the west coast of modern Turkey (Antioch, turn 187) and the south coast (Iconium and Dyrrhachium, turn 199) as well as the Greek mainland (Samosata, turn 199). Making peace with Byzantium then, I demanded Gaza in south east Anatiolia, north of Cyprus and quite close my capital.<\/p>\n<div class=\"tiled-gallery type-rectangular tiled-gallery-unresized\" data-original-width=\"688\" data-carousel-extra='{&quot;blog_id&quot;:1,&quot;permalink&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.kalle-online.net\\\/blog\\\/renaissance-mehmet-conqueror-steam-achievement-guide\\\/&quot;,&quot;likes_blog_id&quot;:61551448}' itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageGallery\" > <div class=\"gallery-row\" style=\"width: 688px;

On Sinai you want to cover most of the coastal tiles in the north so disembarking units (which can&#8217;t move anymore that turn) get 30 DMG straight away. Besieging Cairo you&#8217;ll want a citadel 1 tile next to a river, so units crossing that river get the damage and can&#8217;t pillage your citadel.<\/p>\n<p>The citadel of Sinai was placed in turn 58. 11 turns later Alexandria got captured. For Cairo this took much longer: Citadel in turn 76 but Cairo only fell in turn 138. This was mainly due to the fact that I operated with a very small army, always protecting the veterans and compensating for the few losses with new units. North Africa is not part of the achievement after all.<\/p>\n<p>The rest of the Ayyubid cities fell continuously until at the end of the game, Saladin and the Ayyubids were no more: Dvin (147), Aswan (154), Ba&#8217;albek (157-160), Zabid (165), Bilbais (172) and Yanbu (178) brought me to the Libyan Sea. By then the Ayyubid army was non-existent and it was only a matter of placing units around cities and capturing them (Crossbowmen with Logistics and Range could even shoot with out being fired at).<\/p>\n<p>Capturing Medina (182), Sana&#8217;a (186), Aden (189) as well as Ta&#8217;izz and Eindhoven (194) led to the annihilation of the Ayyubids!<\/p>\n<h2>Playing the Turks &#8211; Beyond Victory<\/h2>\n<p>Unlike most other scenarios for Civilization 5, in &#8220;Into the Renaissance&#8221; you can click everybodys favorite button: &#8220;Just one more turn&#8221; and continue playing the game even after you won (or lost) the scenario.<\/p>\n<p>So playing the Turks I was tempted to conquer Vienna, which in reality never happened. There&#8217;s been several sieges and the famous <a title=\"Battle of Vienna - Wikipedia\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Battle_of_Vienna\" target=\"_blank\">Battle of Vienna<\/a>, but the Ottoman Empire never captured it. I captured it in 1641 (turn 223)!<\/p>\n<p>I won&#8217;t bore you with a detailed guide here, mainly because if you made it this far, you can conquer central Europe, Russia or Spain without any guidance. But here&#8217;s some images of my fleet closing in on Corsica and my empire stretching until central Germany (Wittenberg, birthplace of Protestantism).<\/p>\n<div class=\"tiled-gallery type-square tiled-gallery-unresized\" data-original-width=\"688\" data-carousel-extra='{&quot;blog_id&quot;:1,&quot;permalink&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.kalle-online.net\\\/blog\\\/renaissance-mehmet-conqueror-steam-achievement-guide\\\/&quot;,&quot;likes_blog_id&quot;:61551448}' itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageGallery\" > <div class=\"gallery-row\" style=\"width: 688px;
