Is this a decent start to get a WC with?

Yes, basically just get a vassal to cut off your land connection to Asia and abuse overseas coring cost to eat all of Asia. Switch to Hindu if you want more coring cost reduction goodness.
Get Wein to westernize sooner rather than later, can invade overs through N Africa if you want.
Don't remember too much from the screenshot, but these are some basic tips. Also, colonizers are too big of a deal, just make sure to eat their colonies before mainland provinces.
But yeah, ottoman starting cores are enough to WC from 1500. They're a pretty easy nation to WC with, owning all of Egypt by 1500 is good, kill off N. Africa and expand to India. Would focus on Asia over Europe first just so you don't have to deal with coalitions ever. Still take bites out of Europe on occasion, but don't have to constant war Europe or anything like that. Would recommend starting to seriously eat Europe after admin efficiency 1.
Just make sure to get the 2nd admin idea and not much else is needed for a Turk WC
Okay cool. I've taken most of North Africa, unfortunately portugal also took a chunk but I should be able to feed Morocco its cores back which will help. 1520 and I've got all of Egypt, most of Ethiopia and already have a foothold in India, though I needed to stop in that direction for maybe a decade because a coalition formed. I have the admin idea group already as well. I will keep that in mind about the colonials and maybe get exploration next. Thanks for the help.
I was originally just going to get some other achieves with this attempt but it seems to be going pretty well. I have nothing to benchmark it against because I've never made a WC attempt before this and only played one game to the end.
Any help/tips are also appreciated.
