Oh, I didn't comment on this video because I made it for personal storage, but there were people who comment it. The caveats of this attack are: 1) In order to utilize Wallachia's 'Sultan on a Skewer' mission (immediate execution of the Ottoman leader and son), Poland must not subordinate Maldivia. As you can see, the video failed. Since 1.34, Poland's propensity to war has increased 'extremely'. Still, it's not that important. 2) Second. This is really important. The Ottomans must not be invading Trebizond or Theodora in any form. EU4's AI is not very good, so there is a tendency to move unconditionally to the shortest distance. Basically, the Ottoman always wants to move to the strait, and can use this to completely 'destroy' his forces. But if you go deeper inside Anatolia and enter the Caucasus, it's a different story. As you said, in this case ott pass in Crimea and Lithuania. Fortunately, both countries are diplomatically isolated Orthodox OPMs, so it can be concluded that there is no possibility of an alliance with Karaman or other Anatolian Bays. However, there are occasions when Ottoman chooses first battle opponent on the way, so in that case you'd be better off playing a new game. Finally, attention should be paid to the arrangement of the dependent countries. If you do it right, you can do it on your own. but If you are not careful, the dependent countries will try to block the vessel at will. So you have to be careful and repeat 'defensive' and 'cooperative' orders. Sometimes they don't listen and they have to deliberately induce the Ottomans to destroy the ships of their subordinate countries. If you look at 7:35, you can see that Epirus did not listen to the command. Because of this, you can see that the Ottomans are enticing them to destroy them.
When I tried to do this they got access through the Crimea and Poland Lithuania 🗿
