After blitzing the map as the Byz, I decide to take it slow as the Hungarians (MTW/VI/Early/Expert/GA). I used the house rule that I would actually conquer only rebel provinces. I peacefully turtled after taking Serbia and Walachia. My emissary diligently arranged marriages for all of my heirs. I scrutinized all of my generals until I found five of them, each with four acumen, to be the governors of my kingdom. I then married my daughters to them. All of the governors except one became stewards and two of my rulers as well. My booming economy supported three stacks of troops (five each Szekely, Spearmen and Jobbagy) each led by a four star prince and a fourth led by my two star king. I had arranged alliances with the HRE, Poland and Italy. However, the Byzantines refused my offers of alliance, even by marriage. Finally, about fifty turns into the game, the Byz ruler dies without heirs. From Bulgaria to Georgia, nothing but rebels! My quiet opening has turned into a romp.
