I wouldn't call them very tough, one can manage them if you are cautious enough and make a blitz in the direction of Constantinople-Bulgaria-Greece-Serbia. I did, for once - in high. Never tried late - nor with any other faction. My belief that I wouldn't have time to conquer all the map hinders my attempts thereof.
