I'm fiiding it slightly more difficult in my game. So far I've had to fend off Hungarian attacks, the Hungarians have become the major power, with only my taking of Constantinople stopping them advance heavily into the east. However, one night i decided to screw my bank balance (40k) and went straight for Hungary. Now, this cost me a lot of my men but i managed to blaze a trail through to hungary, pillaging and sacking along the way, thie meant that due to my taking of all the rebel itlaitn provinces, I could cripple the Hungarians permeanently. Suddenly the HRE decided to sdhow up again, right in Switzerland where I only have a token garrison. The HRE have taken most of the former Hungarian lands off me and I'm struggling to contain them. The French arn't helpnig vecause I have never managed to make truce after me taking everyhting apart from Champagne and Toulouse off them. But they're acting as a nice buffer from the HRE.

Any tip's
