The hardest part for the Ottomans (600AD start) is the very beginning of the game, including the wonder goal. Capturing Constantinople in the first turns is vital, but usually possible. I researched music+patronage for the wonders and barely managed it. After that, the game is a breeze: Topkapi Palace + Theocracy + Fanaticism means huge military production, and three major shrines + Temple of Solomon means cash in abundance and research at 100% throughout the game. I conquered the required lands in 1635, Vienna was last:

Could barely manage to hold myself back and not conquer all of europe. The military goal is, imho, very simple.
