I order 1000 troops assembled in Athens. It should take 2 months, I don’t see any Ottoman forces near us.
26 Feb – A large army of 17000 troops has disembarked onto Athens from the Aegean Sea
7 March – We are routed and our army is destroyed, they begin to siege us. I order my navy to flee.
21 March – Their navy chases mind down and forces battle in the Gulf of Satalia and destroys it a few days later.
24 March – Venice, not to be outdone by the Turks, declared war on Serbia. Byzantium, like a coward, breaks their alliance with Serbia even though Serbia is at war with the Ottomans for us.
4 June – A big army begins to besiege Constantinople
16 August – In case it matters later, Genoa has agreed to support our independence.
My next target is the Papal States to try and curry their favor.
22 Dec – Athens falls to the Turks.
22 Jan, 1448 – Constantinople falls to the Turks
1 May – Multiple holdings in Serbia have fallen.
11 July – I accept an offer for military access from Corfu
16 July - I send diplomats to curry favor with Hungary after we have maxed Venice.
4 Oct – One of the Greek provinces to our south fell to the Turks
2 Feb, 1449 – Another province falls and now the warscore it as 99% for our foes
We lose!
Well that sucked! There goes my reputation as this EU4 whisperer.
