Would a psuedo-Ottoman empire that speaks a language inspired by German be okay?I was planning on using Shamshirs and Kilijs but the name of the ruler is Weiss. I thought that Turkish and German sounded similiar, so I didn't see a problem. Everything else would be Ottoman inspired, obviously.

Very cool. The naming conventions for Ottomans are fine. I don't mind if the ruler is named something slightly different. Perhaps his/her family is from a different nation. Might create some interesting political tension in the game.
