crusader kings 2 how to play bizantium from beginning

O ne day, Malik-Shah, the Sultan of Seljuk’s, declared war on me and his casus belli was my son’s behaviour, I think it was not even a real casus belli. Then, I learnt that many people died in Van because of an illness and I thought that my illness should be plague.

When I was at war with one of my vassals, I was feeling bad, I think I was very ill and I think it might because of Justinianic Plague however, I could resist it. At this point I think I started to change the history, because in the history Romanos Diogenes was captured by Alp Arslan, the Sultan of Seljuk’s, in the Battle of Manzikert in 1071 and he died in 1072.Īfter I surrendered to Seljuk’s, I learnt that one of my vassals was doing something behind my back and I tried to imprison him, however I could not imprison him and he rebel at me. Therefore, I decided to make peace with Seljuk’s and I offered white peace but they did not accept it so I decided to surrender and I lost some areas because my empire’s condition was getting worse every day and I was sure that I could not win that war. Then, Seljuk’s made very strong attacks and I was not able to defend my empire because the number of their soldiers was much more than mine. B ecause, I think as I got used to the game, I started to understand the mechanics of the game and also I learnt in which style I can play the game best.Īt the first times of the war between my empire and Seljuk’s, I realised that their military was very strong however, I did not give up and tried to defend my empire. Even though, at the beginning of the game Byzantium Empire was at war with the Seljuk’s if I compare my first game experience, when I played as William the Conqueror, I can say that this time it was much more easier for me to play the game. At the second time that I played Crusader Kings II, I started play ing the game as Basileus Diogenes, also known as Romanos IV Diogenes, from Byzantium Empire in 1068 and I played untill 1100.
