You have to have selected the pro-fascist options in the decisions about the EEE that happen when you go down that part of the focus tree. I'm pretty sure that if you don't do that you can't form Byzantium.

The decision for reforming Byzantium only requires Battle for the Bosphorus, but the decision category is only allowed if you have Waking the Tiger. If the category is unavailable, then any decisions in it are also unavailable. There is a note to add BftB to the allowed section of the decision category, so they knew it needed to be done, but just didn't do it.
Code:
form_byzantine_empire_category = {

    icon = generic_formable_nations

    picture = GFX_decision_cat_generic_byzantine_empire

    allowed = {
        has_dlc = "Waking the Tiger" #TODO add BotB
    }
}

While you're at formables taking literally one-line fix, could you provide any reasoning why Iceland is eligible to form Nordic League yet simply can't see this decision?

Nope. No clue.

And honestly I would rather have CD's focusing on one of the other billion 5 minute fixes if I had to prioritize which has a bigger impact for lots of players as I would suspect that people playing Iceland with such grand endeavors are in the minority, even though I love my Icelandic "neighbors "

Edit: I realize that this might have come off as more aggressive than I intended, which wasn't the intent. :)

Thanks.

So would I, but I must have been having quite an over-modest estimation of your bug list.

It would be great if these minor things get fixed in the next patch. But please add these 2 (Byzantium and Iceland) to the list.

BtW don't you think you could make a DD on the other minor fixes?

Based on our last interaction I am not sure if you are just trollbaiting me again, but ill give you the benefit of the doubt :) so I will explain the typical 5 min fix.

I make a bug report descripting the problem, a CD picks it up, tries to understand the problem, fixes it, opens a merge request, someone else needs to double check it, approves the merge request, it gets pinged back to me, I double check that the issue is resolved, it needs to be moved to whatever release is being prepared by whoever is handling merging.

In all this we are not talking about a 5 minute fix anymore, so generally when people say a 5 minute fix, it is not a 5 minute man minute fix, even though the fix itself is a 5 minute fix.

It is my task to prioritize some of this, so I am willing to invest more effort into making sure that the original problem is fixed as I suspect that people who play Greece are larger than the people who play Iceland.

Thats pretty much how my thinking goes :)

I am sorry but its literally out of my hands to decide :/. As I said I reported the Byzantium issue today, ill make a note about the Icelandic stuff but as explained above I can't make any promises.

As for DD's well, people don't generally like filler DD's, or well some people do but generally it performs worse. I would love to explain some industry stuff more thoroughly for example, but it takes time, garners smaller interest and so forth, same with minor hotfixes. :) Its also more of a marketing question and not a QA question so its outside my field

Yeap, it makes sense and is no different to one of the studios I used to work for (and my current one must be a real exception pipeline-wise). Good luck setting your priorities right and getting it going; and as a player with 2'000 hours under my belt I too will benefit from it either way :)
