Byzantium is always a dream.
But after patch 1.33, the difficulty has exploded.
It takes a little bit of luck, but I'll try to use an easy strategy.

1) Tunis and Crimea not allied with the Ottomans.


※ You may want to ask a question, but I would like to answer it because my English is not good, but I can't! Maybe someone who noticed will reply!

K-002.jpg

Let's give this
Be sure to grant 3 monarch points privileges, loan financing, glass monopoly, and religious diplomats.

K-003.jpg

3 initial Karak, 3 infantry.

K-004.jpg

In this way, if you insult Wallachia's rival, you become an ally with Wallachia.
K-006.jpg


After making an alliance with Wallachia (must!)
Let's form defensive alliances with other Orthodox small nations.
K-008.jpg

12.11 epirus return core.

K-009.jpg

Forced conversion and subordination.
"Must" make it a subordinate, not a complete merger!
K-010.jpg

Strong Duchies.

K-011.jpg


Improved relationship with Epirus.
Return of troops to Constantinople.

K-012.jpg

If the subordination of Epirus is successful, the Ottoman rival will now appear as confirmed.
Let's register.
K-013.jpg

Then Wallachia will clear the first mission.

K-014.jpg

If Albania guarantees independence or forms an alliance and waits, the Ottomans will wage war on the Anatolian Bay State within 47 years.
A squad of mercenaries, if you want something certain, let's hire two squads.

There are very rare cases where no declaration of war is ever made, but in this case, let's start again with a new game.
K-015.jpg

If all the Ottoman forces had moved to Anatolia...

K-016.jpg

Let's declare war on the cause of return core.
At this time, war must be declared after June 47.
K-017.jpg

Immediately after moving to Gallipoli.
K-018.jpg

Let's issue an assault order after sea shelling.

K-020.jpg


If you take it this way, it's a success.
Squad 1 of mercenaries can save you money, but sometimes you fail if you're really unlucky, so if you're an Iron Man, hire two squads.

K-023.jpg
K-022.jpg


After checking Serbia at this time
If the Ottomans ensured independence, let's build an espionage network.
K-024.jpg

If December 49, the truce period of the Varna Crusade, has passed, let's call Wallachia as an ally.

K-025.jpg

After that, if you hand over the occupation of Edirne to Wallachia...

K-026.jpg

Wallachia's second mission, "The Sultan on a Skewer" is triggered, 6/4/6 Mehmed II is killed and "Sword of Ottoman" is triggered.

K-027.jpg

After that, I chased after the 4th level of military skill.

K-028.jpg

Let's issue a "defensive" order to our two subordinate countries.

K-030.jpg

After dividing the ship into two squads and letting the Athenian navy enter the port...

K-031.jpg

Let's open the strait.

K-032.jpg

Then, the Ottoman army is divided into 15k / 16k and tries to enter Constantinople or Gallipoli.
If they try to enter Constantinople, they close the strait again.
When entering Gallipoli, wait for a squad to come in like this and block the strait.

K-032.jpg


If this is the case, then it is a success.
Gallipoli is a terrain with bonuses for defenders, and the forces are split so we have a good chance of winning.

K-033.jpg

After turning on "Allow Joining" of troops, turn on "Support" for subordinate countries, and let's gather troops.

K-034.jpg


Then battle at Gallipoli.
If they somehow win the morale fight, the Ottoman army has no escape and is declared annihilated regardless of actual casualties.

K-035.jpg

Let's repeat this.

K-036.jpg
K-037.jpg

K-038.jpg

Max Ducat, let's get the land.

K-039.jpg

Immediate manipulation of claims to Serbia.
K-040.jpg

Ottoman Turks automatically participate in defensive wars because their debts from war are not yet reflected.

K-041.jpg

K-042.jpg

Ah... If you annihilate the troops too quickly, you will attack the Ottomans from all sides, so be careful.

K-043.jpg

Originally, it could be aimed at 740 ducats + war reparations + shortening the truce period.
There is war all over the place, so let's take only Ducats for this game.

K-045.jpg


After that, let's get Ducat as we completely annex Serbia.
If Serbia is fine, you can bring 115 Ducats.
In this case, you can bring in a huge amount of money - gold mines and 855 ducats.

K-046.jpg
K-047.jpg

Finally (possibly after the annexation of Athens and Epirus), let's resurrect Yeretna and Bulgaria.
That's easy, right?
