My best comeback ever with BYZ

[Schou]

Well, here's a picture of the comeback I mentioned in the title. This is the best I've ever done with BYZ. First I grabbed all the small Turkish states and then got lucky with Rhodos and Naxos.. Vassalised Wallachia and allied myself with Sicily and Poland (who sent me war subsidies so I could spam troops).

Good done! But you still have some work to do in the east. Do the Ottomans have any ally fighting against you?

I managed to take over most of the Ottomans.. and then I expanded onwards after that:

Don't worry, I am definitely going to keep expanding eastwards.

EDIT: Nope, only the minor North African states with their 2-3 stack armies so not really any allies.

This got me thinking, I wonder who the first person will be to beat the Ottomans as Byz in EUIV, and how soon it will be after release

I'm willing to bet a matter of hours. Probably 1-2.

Based on my games as BYZ, I always make the eastern side a priority and broker out a peace deal. I noticed that whenever I got the east, the greek side would revolt and usually join me.

Just a side question on the topic of Byz and EUIV. What is the start date and if it means it starts at 1400s or something then Byz will start with 2 more province?

Yo, try switching to ottomans. DO THE EXACT OPPOSIT!

Me too! Even if they don't join me, I can just throw out my reconquest CB on the new nations.

Beats the hell out of waiting for the truce period or taking the stab hit.

Well you have to define "beat". If you mean entirely annex, a day - 6 hours depending on the difficulty.

I'm waiting for the first Byz world conquest.
