Nice, its an interesting position to play with!
Yeah it's new and interesting. My biggest wish so far has been to ally Muscovy. They are so far away that allying them is quite a challenge. It's a whole minigame on it's own :)
Getting a good fleet up and running fast is also a priority.

Why? Goths did the most work for destroying Rome back in the day, why turn around now?

They're Hellenized and Orthodox. Arianism is long gone. Plus dat delicious Royal Marriage.

Being the only Gothic culture in the game doesn't make Theodoro anymore Gothic in the old sense, than anybody else. It's still related to Byzantines in the game.
A good beginning strategy surely is to ally the Byzantines. They won't last forever though.

Growing fast is a good strategy. You can beat Genoa, even with the Austrians in the war. Preferably take both of the adjacent provinces, then don't slow down from there :)
Well, just watch the videos.

In my run, I day 0 DoW'd Ryazan and was merrily occupying it when Crimea DoW'd. They vassalised me, then I annexed Ryazan and released them as a vassal, then waited for Crimea's moment of weakness. Theodoro's really fun, honestly.

(spoiler: it took 20 years)
