Welp, I have now officially reached the point where I have too much territory with the Byzantines. The HRE once again launched an all-out assault on Italy, once again hoping to take it from me. However, this time Russia did not want to help me, and I had the majority of my troops in southern India and geographical persia, fighting an all-out war on Vijanagar. I simply could not both defend Italy and at the same time host a good offensive against India. In the end, those blasted Germans took all of Italy from me, with the exception of Sardinia and Sicily. But I will take it back. It's only a matter of time...
Unfortunately, screenshots do not work for the moment for some reason, so I can't post an image with territories.
