The history of the Eastern Roman Empire, aka Byzantium, from the fall of Rome to the fall of Rome No. 2, Constantinople, is a story of constant decadence, losses and defeats alternating with small rises and successes, which nevertheless never brought the country to pre-crisis levels. In its thousand years of decline - the margin of strength of the Hellenistic empire was enormous - there were many such glimmers of hope, and even more opportunities for them. I'll tell you the story of how the last such opportunity laid the foundation for the rebirth of the Empire, and the story of this rebirth, using mod MEIOU & TAXES 3.0 for Europa Universalis IV.

That was a fun ride. I imagine that another century of consolidation by the empire would result in a modest expansion of the western borders to include Corsica and Sardinia, the conquest of northern Italy to the Alpine border, completing the conquest of the Adriatic coast. A campaign to convert Hungary and transform it into a border march would be a prudent way of keeping the Austrians in check and insurance against any diplomatic breakdown with Poland, which seems to be becoming a less reliable ally as they grow in strength. Similarly, I expect a further expansion into the Arabian peninsula and east Africa would be attempted in the interest of securing the Red Sea to secure a more easily controlled trade route for access to goods from south and east Asia. A more ambitious program of containment against Poland could be achieved through the establishment of a border march in the Caucasus mountain range.

​@@synthetic_history I think you had a fair point at the end of this video, EU4 doesn't punish too much growth. There's no natural way for a player state to see a relative decline without intentionally making subpar decisions as a player. But the game needs it, a way that expansion leads to weakness, a way for outperforming to be possible in the short term, but not without eventual regression to the mean. Paradox games are essentially story generating engines, at least in single player. A good story has set backs, and tension throughout.

I really had fun with this and have been watching it over and over like i would a history documentary. For what it is worth this is easily one of yoru best movies and I'd love to see more like it if not a sequel. As for what I think of what will happen to the Eastern Roman Empire, I think ultimately it would depend on how much it was able to adapt. The main issue of the ottomans was that they stagnated and kept to their spheres of influence while europe went all over the world and as a result grew far past them. If the romans were able to keep up with those developments, and continue to make advances of their own, I can see them taking advantage of their control of the Egyptian territories to essentially skip africa via the red sea and maintain a trade advantage in the Asian sphere. This could coincide with their focus on reclaiming the territories of Alexander's great conquest as well. Another key point is if the Orthodox church is able to maintain good relations if not convert Poland and settle matters with the Lutherans, as it would avoid a case of hte russian/greek orthodox split as happened IRL in the case of the former and in the case of the latter it'd avoid many years of religions wars or at least would be easier for them to find common ground with the lutherans "The pope was indeed a greedy asshole." vs the ottomans just being straight up the enemy of all christians.

This is amazing, Mr. Synthist. I like the rebirth of the Byzantine Empire and the entering of regrowth and full strength of its former glory. I believe the Byzantine Empire would not repeat the Ottoman mistakes, for Byzantium would have political leaders along the Emperor needed to focus on domestic issues, like the Pentary that caused some division in the empire, and what they are planning to do is have some way culture and religion that can be tolerated and accepted by the empire as long it did cause any problems and could separate the churches' influences. It would then Byzantines' interest to go east and maybe could achieve Julius Caesar's dreams of conquering Persia, Rome's long-time enemy. Just imagine Rome being mighty with Persia in its control along with the middle east; it would give Rome major economic and consequential defensives in the future against the Anti-Rome coalition. Anyway, this a remarkable alternate history, my friend; I love the narrative and passion details along with the history of this video. Please keep up the excellent work; these videos are penetrating and educational simultaneously!

I think with roleplays like this where you are playing as an empire in decline, you should roleplay some kind of reform and internal conflict before going full expansionism, just to insert realism for the tipping point that brought about revival in the Empire. You might have to make up some kind of genius influential figure that set policy for the Emperor or rewrite the story of the Emperor himself to reflect this. It'll help the story make more sense instead of just one opportunistic moment that allowed the Romans to reverse centuries of decline.

Rome is a really difficult start because you start off with 20+ out of a maximum of 30 war exaustion, as well as a modifier that makes it very difficult for it to die down untill 1368. It is not possible to use diplomana to reduce it. Also because of the war exaustion means you start off with -22% discipline and morale, -34% siege ability and defensiveness, also war exaustion kills off your economy and makes it very difficulty to keep your country stable. I my first try as rome, i was allied to Bulgaria adn poland. ottomans declared a crusade against me. But due to polish and bulgarian ships and bulgarian troops and careful engagements i managed to got a lot of warscore. It was enough to reduce ottomans to an opm. Unfortunately the expansion didnt increase my income or force limit. Instead it decreased my force limit and increased my state maintenance cost. The bigger i got the more the avg autonomy and realm expenses and corruption increased. I managed to become as big as hungary. Somehow the bigger i got the weaker i became economically and militarily. So i eventually rage quit.
