      Yes, and they'll always average out positive because you gain 50 but only lose 25, so even if they're split 50/50 good and bad, you're still coming out ahead.

    Sugla went to The Knights because I think they got a core there
    Knight used to occupy a city on the anatolian coast, Smyrna, until Timur took it in 1402 or something like that
    also, they used to hold the peninsula of Halicarnassus, where they built a fort using stone from the Mausoleum of Halicarnassus, one of the 7 Wonders:)))

    The ruthless trait on the general may be influencing the length of the war. Also just pay the diplo, the war is slowing down the series.

  • @TheAbyssofFire
    @TheAbyssofFire 6 ปีที่แล้ว +20

    From what I've seen, AI Albania likes to give back most of Byz's cores in a successful early war.. but they'll leave Edirne/Adrianople, which is pretty much the one province Byz absolutely needs to take in a successful first Ottoman war. Separate peace is probably the way to go here; it's not like you need trust with Venice or Serbia, and Albania's usefulness ends once Skanderbeg dies.

    • @jackal327
      @jackal327 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      I've also seem they return the cores from karaman and none of byz. I was playing as Karaman when that happened

    • @Ididntchoosethisname
      @Ididntchoosethisname 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      In my current playthrough. They returned all the cores bar Edirne (they couldn't because it is the Otto cap), also pretty much all the cores to Karaman, Candar and even the Knights' core in Sugla.
      Then shortly afterwards starting with the Mamluks the Kebabs suffered war after war until my truce was up. I think it was 6 in a row with barely any time at peace. Don't underestimate the AI's scent for Ottoman blood.

  • @nightoffbaldman
    @nightoffbaldman 6 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    With the ottomans rebounding, it won’t be long till you will be forced to separate peace. Better to do it now and get possibly all the land back, or wait and get a fraction, possibly none of it back

    The AI is forcing a separate peace at this point. May as well just take what you want and leave Albania to their own devices. Besides, it may be that he's waiting to give provences to Venice.

    putting all your faith in that Albania would give you this land is foolhardy, it would make you to strong and him to weak. Honestly you could peace out and act as a buffer for future Ottoman armies and if Albania isn't going to peace out after that, than it's his fsult he didn't act sooner.

    • @SolarFlareAmerica
      @SolarFlareAmerica 6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      It's funny because taking even just Edirne makes him more beneficial to Albania's war than letting Albania peace out with the ottomans still in possession of the strait crossing

  • @lightheart2731
    @lightheart2731 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    I say the trust has been put forward and Albania is not going to peace out soon, then lose all that war score and sign a bad piece deal. Separate peace so you can for sure get your cores Arumba, then help him gain some territory later and say, "Albania, I knew trusting you was a good idea."

  • @alonewobbly2257
    @alonewobbly2257 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Skanderbro isn't going to negotiate piece until they have Dalmatia. I've noticed this in some of my games that if there's an enemy controlled province the AI will just go to the ends of the earth to unsiege the province. Also I feel that if the AI thinks they have a shot at getting the enemy to 100% they will even though it's bloody stupid.

    • @Sion879
      @Sion879 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      No Name but the ottomans are now taking back territory, lowering the war score when he could have gotten peace at 93%. It’s be different if ottomans had rebels but more than likely they would for some reason spawn in the occupied territories

    @OrnluWolfjarl 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    It's probably too late in the series now, but Byzantium is the only one receiving those events. They are part of the Purple Phoenix. Also, they stop once you get your 3rd National idea. So a good way to keep milking mana is to stay at 2 national ideas, until you feel it no longer pays well.

  • @DerKaiservonDeutschland

  • @matheusGMN
    @matheusGMN 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    What's probably happening is that the AI is trying to get a peace deal that's favorable to everyone, but because it's just too high, it just doesn't have the war score required nor it's being able to please everyone, so it's waiting a little more

    Maybe Skandebro has "Fierce Negotiator" trait or something like this, when the AI has this trait the REALLY drag on wars they've already won. But I believe he will returns the cores to you, problably except Edirne cause it will cost too much.
    Anyway I think you can Trust him =P

    I am torn as you between honoring the alliance with Albania and its performance in this war and reaching a separate peace to exit. But as time drags on agreeing to a separate peace looks more and more attractive.
    I don't suppose there are further offensive posibilities against the Ottomans in Asia Minor? Looks like he retook everything there from Venice and The Knights.

  • @romanschafer2101
    @romanschafer2101 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    In my experience the Albania AI never returns Edirne. At best you get everything except Edirne but you have to "share" the war score with the Knights, Serbia and Albania itself, as they all have cores to be returned.

    • @Ididntchoosethisname
      @Ididntchoosethisname 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Edirne is the Capital. Skanderbro can't use Return Core on it. I think he'll give Arumba back the other Bzy cores. And probably the cores back to the Knights, Karaman and Candar too. He'll take Vlore for himself and maybe give something to Serbia too.

  • @Miemets
    @Miemets 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Don't trust the AI, Arumba! If Skanderbeg doesn't honor your effort than you'll cease to call him Skander-bro, which would be sad :P no need to remind you that 90% in the comments section will say "told you so..." Finally, "e" sound at the end of Edirne - the Ottoman capital - is not silent, it's the same "e" sound as in the first "e". (Turkish is much like Latin, in that all vowels are never silent.) Love the effort so far, show 'em Turks!

    Never trust the AI. Think you have to weigh up the opportunity cost with those diplo points.

Plus you get purple phoenix events that give you monarch points (or take them away) as byzantium.
