is that Trezbinoid expanding? I usally see them crushed by Candar if I don't do anything.
Nah that is probably Ak Koyunlu that took them. In my game trebozined is always doomed.
Yeah its Ak Koyunlu, not Trebizond, besides the rulers of Trebizond were Komenoi and we can't have pretenders to the Imperial throne can we? especially not when the AAR is called 'The House of Palaiologos'
The ottomans now have no navy, and i assume their armies have been critically weakened aswell!
Yes, Actually They are About to collapse completely in the next update it seems, However i wont be able to update tonight probably, but I will be able to tommorow for sure, Im a student so homework and all
Chapter III: Chaos in Anatolia And The Regency of Manuel III
After The Great Balkan War and The Roman Revival A Situation Emerged in Anatolia, one even the most insightful of Emperors could not have forseen. The Defeated Ottomans Began Collapsing From Within, So did Aydins Dynastic Empire. A Generation Before the Karaman Sultanate Collapsed under Invasion from the Egyptian Mamalukes, Now A Pretender Sought To Re-establish It in Ottoman Lands. All ottoman Armies larger than 3,000 men had been wiped out in the wars and the Remnant Sultanate Was Further harrased by a pretender to the Ottoman throne Seeking To Supplant the Sultan of Aydin. In the End Both Succeded, The Karamanese Created A 3-Province Sultanate in Central Anatolia and the Remnant Ottomans were taken over by the Pretender. As if the Sultan of Aydin wasn't having a bad enough day the Turks of Ak Konoyu threw him off thier throne as well, Aydins Brief Shining Moment Had Ended, and Karaman was Seemingly on the rise, however Karaman Itself was soon in a civil war between the Freedom Fighter and another Pretender for the Karamanese throne, The Pretender won. And all the while the mamalukes were slowly creeping up from the south gobbling smaller states as they went.

The Karamenese FIght For Freedom
After The Truces Expired a Highly Chaotic war Erupted in between ourselves and a coalition of muslim states, and england whose wrath had been incurred by our annexation of Cyprus. On Land Rome Dominated even in the Face of Disaster, Ioannes VIII was Killed in battle, God Bless his Soul, and his two year old son Manuel III was Crowned Emperor Meaning a 13 year Regency, on The Sea It Was Different. The Much Vaunted (and Rightly So) Roman Fleet wiuped out Muslim Navy one after another, then like the dogs of hell an English Fleet Emerged Relying on the Highly Unmanly Tactics of Cannon Instead of Closing To Fight Honourably. Thier Cowardice led to thier survival and out brave Fleet being Lost With Nearly all hands at sea, It Would Take Years to Rebuild the Fleet to Its Former Glory, However I will Note That it is not nearly as urgent when thier aren't one-hundred thousand angry turks ready to attack across the straits from your capital! The War Was Eventually won and some territoty, enough to comprise 5 new Themata (Cyprus, Smyrna, Galatia, Conya, Sinope) was gained, not nearly as succesful as the first war but nonetheless signifigant gains, considering his imperial majesty is only six.
After The Chaotic War Anatolia Desceded into a 4-way War, topping the previous in chaos
During The Regency of Manuel III Several Things Occured, Rapid Economic Progress Occured causing Swift TEchnological Growth. This Allowed our Troops to Be equipped in a new 'Azab' Style, except the Varangian Gaurd. These New troops would Wear a Light Lammelar Armor, a light circular shield, a Helmet, A Sligtly Curved Sword similar to the Arab Saif, and A Remnant from the Days of Caesar, a group of Pilum for thrown before the charge or to disrupt an attacking enemy. The Fleet Was Rebuilt Consisting of 50 Front-Line Ships, Making the Roman Fleet once more the Best of Mediterranean Navies. By The Time Basileus Manuel III reached 15 he was Renown for two things, A Higly Succeful Regency and a very early Maturity as his first son was only 11 years younger than him............
uhh, very fertile...........

Excellent removal of the Ottomans. There are still some surviving provinces still to be liberated. Are those 50 ships galleys or carracks?
I think Manuel III is going to find he isn't the father of his supposed heir. Looks like one of his regents gave the succession a helping hand.
I'd like to plead for mercy for the Mamluks. They are just misunderstood. There are many lands that need to be regained for the Empire before those poor innocent Mamluks willingly return those lands.

30 Galleys and 20 Transports for my army, Its cheaper than a carrack fleet and in the mediterranean all i'll encounter unless I piss of England again is smaller galley navies
Manuel Is The Father, He Drank His Milk, Ate Way too much Red Meat, and Drank the Memphis Tennesee water which has (i kid you not) bovine growth horomones in it(accidental)
I Will Retake The Rest Of Asia Minor Before I consider the Mamlukes as they are the only local nation that rivals Rome Reborn
Good work!
One thing you might want to watch is the rather liberal use of capitalised words. If you need a proof reader I'm happy to help.
Nice update.

Nice start. One question though, where did you get those spiffy Byzantine/Ottoman flags? I'm always on the lookout to spruce up my copy of HTTT with nice things

Made 'em myself, the otoman flag is a real Late Game Ottoman FLag and the Roman one is the Emblem of the Palaiologos dynasty with Roman Empire Written in Greek at the bottom
Ughhh..............pepetual homework, i'll update this weekend or friday, probably not today, I WILLL NOT ABANDON THIS!
