They have lots of places to expand, as well. I prefer all Italian factions, because their starting militia units are extremely good for starting units. I might try to play as Byzantines sometime, any advice on gameplay? Well, I've only played as the Byzantines a few times, but I suggest taking on Turkey strong and early, before they can get on their feet. Your starting military is stronger then theirs, and you have to press that advantage before it dissappears. Alliance with Russia is always a good idea: they're far too poor and spread out to be worth conquering, and they can be helpful in a pinch, should you go to war against Poland or Hungary. Also, watch out for Sicily, they constantly have their eyes on your greek holdings, and can be downright dangerous at times.
