Vladimir Basarab sounds better.
Praise the Sun! Well Constantine did what was right, here hopes he is remembered right.
Poor horse, I can't even imagine his pain.
Again, this feels not as it should be. You have specified that a large number of these Ottoman Troops are greenhorns along with veterans. The latter group has just faced yet another defeat in the Battle of Elbasan, yet somehow they are scots free and ready for revenge. You seem to apply the morale boosts only on the Ottomans, as you massively nerfed the Hungarians, not to talk about the Albanians, who you've barely even mentioned.
With how low morale these troops should have been, i find it hard to believe that they're still so freaking professional. Also, Constantine seems to have been nerfed intentionally just to give the Ottomans a win. Are the local Greek and Bulgarian people's so unaware of Turkish forces moving throughout these plains? I think we can all tell you're setting Constantine to take a fall so that he gives the Ottomans more time to continue to give trouble even if they should have collapsed by now.
The Ottoman Manzikert.
I do not understand, based on his actions and the surviving commentary from some of his advisors and contemporaries, Constantine appeared to have been more comfortable with military matters than with matters of state or diplomacy, though he was also a competent administrator—his reign as a Despot of the Morea in 1427 made him a relatively capable commander, repeatedly repulsing external forces throughout the 1420s, including Latins, Catalans, and Turks.
Hoho, finally Giovanni's time to shine!
A but yes, but no ruler has a perfect image if he goes off executing his own men over mere hearsay. The author explores the consequences of the premature execution too, so I think my viewpoint is not totally in the lost.
