You’re supposed to rush the fort in gallipoli not just siege it down, there’s a button if you have enough cannons (enough boats blockading) to rush gallipoli, then you have to shift consolidate every single day that passes for roughly 19 days total before the siege ends
@lykuscerebros9480 4 ай бұрын
Yeah but for that to work reliably you have to get rid of the debuff to your fort assault ability @@InternetHandle123. As far As I can see thius was not done or not mentioned in the guide. Also in the video the fort is not assaulted. This makes the strategy not really effective.

After trying this opening for the past few hours, I've come to some discoveries: 1. Serbia is only giving 150 ducats, even at maximum opinion + alliance. Paradox might have made a last minute change and didnt update the tooltip. 2. AI is sending troops immediately, even breaking out of sieges they are in and beeline gallipoli to control it. 3. The Knights will almost always raid your coasts within the first few months rendering alliance impossible (-100 relations) 4. Cyprus has a huge relation bonus towards the ottomans and won't join an offensive war 5. Hungary often declares on Serbia rendering their alliance risky. Sometimes they even declare on them while they're at war with the ottomans causing you to either war Hungary or take a massive diplo/stab hit I suspect Paradox made some last-second AI and event changes based on your video.
@dominikapera9295 6 ай бұрын
1. they gave me 250 on he second try, so this may be more random/dependent on their economy 3. never happened to me and I tried numerous times 5. While this can be true, they are the only option with budget for your 250 ducats and AI prefers to attack Bosnia anyway Other than that, I agree, a lot of the things in this video are VERY hard to materialize.

Finally, an actually low RNG Byz guide, no more "just role a 4 siege general it's that easy"
@oscarhocklee 6 ай бұрын
It's a good guide, but it's still highly reliant on RNG. The missions can be different, Serbia can not quite like you enough to send the full 250, whether you can take Galipoli or not before the Ottomans come and crush you is a *huge* matter of RNG, the Knights can raid your coasts, which makes allying with them much harder (If anyone is stuck on that - the -100 penalty to *your* opinion of them from the raid prevents allying. You can fix it if you're lucky by guaranteeing them, asking them for access, managing your opinion and manually setting it to friendly and keeping on improving relations - that also boosts your own opinion of them. Despite the tooltip claiming that you must have a positive opinion of them, you should be able to ally once the opinion gets to -25)

How many tries did it take before the Ottomans waited until 1449 to attack you? I am 0-for-11 until now, they always attack me before I have any chance at getting allies. Once I didn't even finish the Epirus war before they declared war on me.

I followed Red hawks guide in my 2nd attempt which worked. basically you can get rid of the fort assault penalty and then breach the fort in gallipoli to storm it. RNG in my game and in the guide video was about equal so I would say it was amuch better guide then this one here.

If you're having trouble with the opening strat: Focus on getting rid of the Army debuff ASAP, as it prevents you from being able to assault forts (effectively at least). The rest of the opener can be followed pretty faithfully, but you need to get rid of that privilege first.

Has ANYONE been able to actually Ally the Knights before 1448? They raid my coast before I can get their opinion high enough, which cause my opinion of them to be too low for me to ally them. Also yes they rush and stack wipe any army at Gallipoli with a 36+ double army stack. Out of 30+ attempts only two where successful, Once I had the Pope, Hungry, Savoy, and Serbia as Allies and Ottomans declared war on me and the combined military won. The second time I used the event to become the Latin Empire and yeah that alliance curb stomped the Ottomans to where they didn't exist by 1465.
