Annexation of Athens

[jmrathbun]

As Ottomans I inherited Athens from Byzantium a decade ago. I've been holding off invading because I don't want the big hit to stability, and I was hoping for annexation. Current relations are as follows:

Different Religion -20
Casus Belli -15
Vassal +50
Improved Relations +100
That totals 115.

How can I get up to 190?

Improved Relations +100

Improved Relations goes up to +200 for a vassal doesn't it.

Improved Relations can go up to 200 for vassals.

Send gift can also net you a +25.

And picking some of their rivals still works, albeit slowly.

It works, I've annexed them in each of my Ottoman sessions. The fact that they are christian and stuff didn't impede the whole process

Yeah, I found that in time I could improve relations enough.
