And a small country is powerless against a superpower.Īlso, about negativity. You just get wiped when allies are too busy to help you out. I just tried playing Byzantium even just going my own way, tryna develop. However your abrasivness and general negativity are very off putting and is rather spend my time doing something more positive. Crimea? You have a death wish bud? Ottomans? You sure you legit? You can not gainy any power in the meantine, since, where can you really expand into? Venice? Likely not. If you make it to 1450, good luck against Venice! Good luck against Mamlukeann allies if they beaat Ottomans too! Good luck restoring Greece even, Ottomans just expand asap to Candar and the other Turkish ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ at start. Getting an alliance with Austria is difficult as is already. It's very difficult for Hungary and Poland to not rival eachother (happened to me just about every Poland game so far). Originally posted by Wilk Curator:Not at start game. Including the ones I've used which you will find me explaining to others if you search my post history for Byzantium. There are several strategies that exist and are still valid. If you play using traditional strategies such as you would use for a 1-3 province country, you will likely fail. I've done Besillius and Restoing the Roman Empire as Byzantium.

It still is possible, only if you wait and do literally nothing but wait till the Ottomans get rekt by other powers., while not getting rekt yourself if you are to have stronker ally hordes.
