Albania is a one province minor in Eastern Europe. It starts out surrounded by Serbia, Venice and Ottomans. The latter two countries each own one of its core provinces.

Although Albania is Catholic, its capital province is Orthodox. It does start out with a very good leader, a 6/5/6 who is also a 5/5/5 general.

Strategy[edit]

Lucky bastard

Albanian starting position is known for its enriclement by Ottomans and Venice, but godlike ruler and general Skanderbeg.

Cores of Ottomans and Venice make Albania desirable to conquer. You must secure alliances with Hungary and Aragon to make Byzantium more desirable. After this you can change your religion to Orthodox if you want. You will benefit from it internally but diplomacy will suffer.

In scenario where Ottomans attack Byzantium who is allied to Serbia , your first move is conquering Zeta. This should provoke Venice to attack Serbia. It is easy to white peace serbian ally Bosnia. When you occupy Smederevo, take Zeta, Kosovo and Raska and vassalize Serbia to get into deffensive war against Venice. After you and your allies occupy as many provinces as you can or you see ottoman forces near your borders, sue for peace with Istria as must have.

If they don't attack, great. But if they do, you must rapidly make spy network, take icon of St. Michael and Millitary comander advisor. You must fight many battles on deffensive terrain, occupy Selanik and hold your capital. Sue for peace if you see that your your allies can not endure more warfare or if Skanderbeg dies.

After this war, you shall seek alliance with Austria, Muscovy or some of western great powers, but main exit to safety is joining into HRE. Consider moving capital to Istria.

Expansion should lead you to Gulf of Venice, Bosnia or you could stack galley to obtain naval dominance and defeat Ottomans by good old blockade of sea of Marmara.

Good luck!
