    Byzantium guide, own balkan ottomans by 1460

    Posted: 19 Feb 2021 08:39 AM PST

    I'd like to share my optimized no RNG guide for byzantium, having done about 30 test games or so. I hope you will find it helpful. Im gonna try to keep it as short and concise as possible but just ask me anything in the comments.

    TLDR: Crush ottomans solo with 32k army stack and 22 boats, forcing them to retreat to anatolia. After this, siege gelibuli, then disband all mercs and carpet siege balkan side. Peace out with all your cores + Burgas, silistra, tolcu + ohrid. Go bankrupt. Provoke Bulgarian separatist. Let them occupy ottomans Bulgarian provinces and then unsiege your occupied provinces followed by releasing Bulgaria. The ottomans cant reach the Bulgarian separatist so they will win and give provinces to your vassal Bulgaria. Finally, wait out bankruptcy, and attack serbia or venice with your existing allies of Milan, papal state and Wallachia.

    For those of you worried about bankruptcy, it's not bad at all for Byzantium. 1. You won't get rebels as you only have your own cores with no unrest. 2. By timing it after you have just teched up, you don't really lose that much at all.

    As for the actual guide:

    Before unpausing:

    - Remove fort in morea

    - Dev Constantinople once with diplo or admin.

    - Take all monthly mana privileges and then get cash from sale of tiles followed by seizing land and pushing for an agenda that you can fulfill.

    - Take supremacy over the crown in nobility, 1 monopoly and +10 loyalty & influence for both clergy and burghers. Finally, take 0.5 yearly patriarchy from clergy. Later on a event called estuary estate rights will pop, choose "what were we thinking..." option. In 1465 or so you can remove the estatuary estate rights and then keep seizing land as soon as loyalty of estates is 50. Later on approaching 1610, you'll want to have close to 100 crownland and only monthly mana privileges + supremacy over the crown for easy 100+ absolutism with court and country.

    - Build the free company in morea, a galley in all your provinces + athens.

    - improve relations with Milan and papal state.

    - Get lvl 1 advisor for all manas.

    - send your army by ships towards athens and unpause. Set rivals at the end of the month so they don't pick up good alliances.

    War preparation

    - If Epirus hasn't allied anyone you should attack them on 11 of next month. Blockade their strait with your navy so you can move half your army there but after that, you should dock your navy to avoid sailor losses. Peace out by taking arta + humiliate if u can. (by letting them keep cephalonia you will be able to fuck with defender of catholic faith later as you can declare on epirus with the catholic defender of the faith joining, then attack your real target, and then white peace epirus.)

    - When you have 200 sailors, start building a light ship in all of your own provinces, they will start to be built after the galleys have finished.

    - After all ships are finished, move them to Constantinople and start recruiting 4 infantry and 4 additional 4k mercenary stacks. This would put you to 32 units.

    - Since you now have a large army and fleet + improve relations, you can and should ally milan, papal state and Wallachia. They will help you against naples, serbia and venice. If for some reason you can't ally all these three, pick another one of your choosing.

    - Finally let your 32 units recover their morale to full and have them enter athens on the first of the next month. Have your ships in Constantinople enter the sea of Marmara. Enable scutage on athens.

    - If ottomans have problematic allies (crimea or tunis) don't enable scutage on athens, and also ally and call in Albania & the knights with promise of land trick for naval superiority.

    Declaring on ottomans

    - Declare on ottomans alone with selanik as war goal. Move your 32k stack there, and when its sieged down, move it to edirne. If the ottomans do not put 30k at Constantinople (very rare), attack the 15k stack moving towards albania and then move to edirne.

    - At edirne merge together an army of 20k units including your 2 starting cavalry. Have this army attack Constantinople and the remaining 12k reinforce the battle 10 days after it starts. (Due to it being so early in the game, you wont actually take any full casualties during those 10 days, so having reinforcement arrive earlier would just put them in the reserves doing nothing but losing morale). Dock your navy in constantinople.

    - Sortie siege at the end of the fight to get a bit more morale and 3k additional units. When ottomans retreat over to anatolia, send out your boat stack and have it return, blocking their escape. Repeat this 3 times to most likely stackwipe them. If you don't, just let them cross to anatolia and move to gelibuli.

    - Breach walls in gelibuli and siege it down. After that, disband all mercs and carpet siege balkan ottomans with your regular army. Set army maintenance to 0. Mothball all forts once carpet siege is done.

    From here, just wait and let warscore and length of war tick. Regardless if you stackwiped ottoman or not you will still be able to peace out for 95 warscore or so.

    If your ruler dies or you get stab loss event, this is a good thing as we are going bankrupt later. Just make sure you get to decide when you go bankrupt, so if negative stab makes it so that you would go bankrupt you need to stab up.

    Peace deal and beyond

    Make sure to tech up + reduce war exhaustion to 0 or 2 + spend remaining mana on devving Constantinople before peacing out.

    1. Peace out with all your cores + Burgas, silistra, tolcu + ohrid.

    2 Go bankrupt, set army maintenance to full and have them on rebel supression on greek provinces for unrest reduction if needed. Consider using sale of tiles estate cash or debasing corruption once so you don't have to take a single loan during bankruptcy period.

    1. Build spynetwork on serbia, crimea, theodoro and fabricate a claim whenever u can.

    2. As soon as Bulgarian seperatist reach 50%, provoke revolt so they spawn. Let them occupy all Bulgarian provinces, both in your country and in ottomans. When they are some provinces deep into ottoman clay, you can resiege your provinces and then release Bulgaria as vassal.

    3. From here just wait out bankruptcy and slowly but surely, Bulgarian seperatist will succeed giving your vassal back all their cores from ottomans. Rememer not to give ottomans or any of his war allies military access.

    4. Finally when you are free of bankruptcy try to attack serbia with Wallachias help and/or attack venice with Milan & papal state help (promise land trick to not lose favors).

    5. When bulgaria gets all their cores, you will get mission claims for naples which you also can attack with milan/papal state.

    Finally, we left one ottoman (Avlonya) province for your next war against ottomans to be as easy as possible. So for the second ottoman war, ensure naval supremacy, and attack with conquest of Avlonya as war goal. In this war just let ottoman cross straight and trap them in Constantinople. Either do previous trick of stackwiping or just put defensive edict while you carpet siege all of anatolia. In this peace deal, take all their cash/war reps + all their centers of trade in constantinople. Consider adding these to trade company and your economy should be fine.

    FAQ

    The reason we dont want to call in albania/the knights is that sometimes the promise land trick does not work, resulting in you not being able to call in any other ally in the future with promise of land. Another reason is that Ottomans almost never park their entire army in constantinople when u call in Albania, resulting in a dragged out war.

    Accoring to me this really is the best no RNG guide, since even if they get problematic allies as, mentioned above, you will be able to push ottoman over to anatolia, control the straight and just wait for ticking score/ fight crimea.

    Which AI tag is your nemesis?

    I hate Tunis with a passion.

    "Tales of your misdeeds are known from Ireland to Cathay", said CK2, and in this very case it's not even exaggerated. Who shows up if my Portugues armies want to beat up Morocco? Who supports Granada against my Castile? Who raids my coasts left and right, from Florence to Byzantium, from Genoa to Venice? Who thinks it's a great idea to send a 32k stack to Arabia because I as freaking Vijayanagar want to take the province of Aden, and literally only this province? That's right. They are everywhere and I am convinced that they only exist to make my life miserable. I will support any coalition against them if I have the choice. I will sink their navies whenever I can, I will raid their coasts, I will raze their development. My next campaign is 100% going to be one that is more than overdue.
