Rebuilding the Byzantium Empire

[LittleBill]

Since the most recent patch the Ottomans don't fall for the naval blockade trick anymore. Crimea always joins them and together they come and clobber you.

They also always leave a large army in Greece now, even when at war.

Didn't seem to be an issue in my game (patch 1.3.2). Poland with Lithuania under PU and Austria were successfully able to stop Crimea as well as Ottoman forces trying to get to their Balkan and Greek territories (I had blocked the strait). You just have to be patient and a bit lucky, they will eventually move their troops to Anatolia (they certainly do that when they're at war with the Mameluks or Qara Qoyunlu).

And pray that Poland/Lithuania are not in total derp mode, losing to rebels left and right then breaking their PU because of negative prestige.
