Well, I vegged out this Sunday and played a nice long day of MTW2 with the Sicilians and utilized the different strategy offered here. Wow, what a difference.
First thing it is such an enormous strategic advantage to get rid of Durazzo which pretty much guarantees having your entire Eastern flank protected. And if you give it to the Papal States you get to tie them up in wars with the Byzantine Empire and the Venitians. Plus, with Venice getting excommunicated you can call up Crusades against them to take Venice to complete your conquest of Italy. Plus, after taking Bologna and Genoa and putting stacks in those cities I'm pretty much guarded from any European aggression which leaves me to wage war on the Muslims.
