With Ibrahim's Serasker title, Ottoman Catapults can gain an additional +10 Combat Strength bonus (which, in conjunction with the +5 from the Ottomans' Great Turkish Bombard ability, gives them a total Combat Strength bonus of +15) when attacking Districts, allowing them to destroy the defenses of even walled cities in the blink of an eye. By combining Ibrahim's innate ability of +20% Production towards units and the God of the Forge pantheon's +25%, the Ottomans can gain +45% Production towards all military units in the first two eras and +95% Production towards Catapults. Although it is true that the Ottoman war machine is at its peak in the Renaissance Era, it is entirely possible to engage in conquest as early as the Classical Era and gain the conquered cities needed for Janissary production. The first method is to invest some of your resources into early conquests.There are two major options to minimize your losses when you want to train this unit: This can be quite detrimental, but bypassing it is simple. Similar to training Settlers, any city founded by the Ottomans will lose 1 Population whenever they train a Janissary. However, all of this power comes at a cost. On average, 5 Combat Strength difference results in 6-7 extra damage per attack, and the free Promotion applies even when an existing unit upgrades into a Janissary (in that case, the experience bar will be automatically filled and the newly created Janissary will have access to one next Promotion, if it already has some). Secondly, despite its cheap cost, the Janissary even has a Combat Strength edge over the Musketman, and a free Promotion when trained. Therefore, for Suleiman, you should never train Men-At-Arms to take full advantage of your unique unit (more on this down below). This 50% discount makes the Janissary so cheap that it becomes an anomaly, when it actually costs more to train a Man-At-Arms, the predecessor, than a Janissary. Standing at only half the cost of a normal Musketman, the Janissary is the cheapest unique unit in the game, if you only consider the cost ratio between the unit itself and the standard counterpart it replaces, similar to how the Grand Bazaar is also the cheapest unique building in the game. The most outstanding feature of this unit is its appealing price tag. The Janissary is one of the most fearsome unique melee units in the game, thanks to its cheap cost, good Combat Strength and free starting Promotion. This is a rather strange leader ability, as it does not offer any particular empire-wide bonus like others instead, Suleiman gives his empire two (well, sort of) unique units. They are adept at harassing enemies at sea as well as conquering on land, and also experts at keeping their newly gained citizens happy and loyal. All of the Ottomans' assets are built around solely one purpose: war.
