Hi, Servilius Novus,
were the Byz still existing the moment the Horde arrived? Had you been at war with them when the Horde attacked them? That could have been it for them to keep neutrality towards you.
1258, and the HRE still exists? In most of my games, at this time they had their first respawn(?!?), being reduced to a mere nothing...
IIRC, if you go for Poland, you can recruit Polish Retainers as Hungarian - maybe worth a look; they can´t compete with Chivalric Knights, but for those you´ve got your Szekely and Avar Nobles ;-))
wish you good luck, and don´t let the Horde get too strong,
greetings daigaku
