Trezibond 1.8

[roy_d_merkel]

Hey all,
I was curious if anyone has seen any success for starting out as Trezibond in 1.8?
I tried a couple of times earlier today only to be attacked by QQ shortly after campaign start.
The 5th time I managed to keep QQ happy enough not to go to war with me, and was half way to defeating Crimea only to have them ally with the Ottos 3-4 years into the war and then answer call to arms after 60 days. (is this WAD by the way? You can be at war for a long time, and then have someone you are at war with enter an alliance complete with doom stack Call to arms 60 days after alying?).

Anyone have any other suggestions. Should I be trying to attack Circassa (probably mispelled), or Georgia instead of the hords of one of the minors next to Georgia? Also I know in past versions you could declare war on Candar, I couldn't build a navy fast enough to reach them before Otto warning, which the threads say they will enforce. Is there a way to get to them faster?
Thanks again.

Trezibond -> Trebizond and Circassa -> Circassia

The 60 days thing is WAD, it was changed for 1.8.

I haven't played Trebizond yet, so I don't have much practical advice to offer there, but the Ottomans seem to usually get involved in a war with the HRE pretty soon, due to allying Crimea who attack Genoa. That would presumably be a good time to attack *someone*.

For the 60 day change (more like 3 years + > 60 days): ughhhhh...... :wacko:

As for the other one. I'll try that next time I play Trezibond. maybe ally Georgia, attack Circassia annex. after that??? don't know. maybe Georgia and hope beyond all hope that I can keep QQ quiet again.
Another thing I thought about is retrying until I can keep QQ quiet + GH attack on Crimea (that's what they recommend for Theodora). and do a no CB as soon as that happens and hope, beyond all hope, I can parition the country out of existance with GH before the Ottos get involved (from there though ???? don't know).

Thanks ChildeR
