Hey, I can alter history a bit either way. As long as folks are fine with my intended route of 'The Janissary Order has been destroyed and the Ottomans are a modernized empire' being a world thing, I don't mind a specific year analogue. The themes I'm focusing on are 'Old World New Problems' and 'The Rise of Technology Destroyed My People', so if I need to be a little wibbly-wobbly on the specific timeline that's easy.
