I'm playing the Byz now, and this seems like a strategy I might like .
What provinces do you give up- Georgia, Edessa, Syria and what else? Do they ever NOT take the bait and hit Rum, Treb and
Lesser Armenia or do you guard them and give away princesses? Do you
build up much in those eastern-most provinces, or do you keep the buildings
to a minimum? I've always played HRE, Danes, French, Spanish or Egypt,
and have little experience with the Byz.
