Hi,
Hopefully you have read my Venetian Guide to Expanding[into Greece] if you have not i suggest you do so because this guide is the next part. Here is my guide of invading the Turks.
Note:This will not cover every city the turks have. This will just tell you the main cities to take in order to end them easier
Turnspan: the turn you will end on is turn 65 if you do not skip #2 To keep the skippers on track just recruit an army during turns 43-48 and at turn 48 follow on with step #3
(turns 40-43) step #1----> My personal experience when doing this was to take out Byzantine before they recover but I have realized that you can skip that because most likely they will ask for a ceasefire (if they do ACCEPT).
(turns 43-48) step #2----> Recruit a navy (if you already have a substantial navy you can skip this)
(turns 48-52) step #3----> Send your armies (atleast 2 armies no more than 4) to Iconium (if you have more than 2 armies spread them out) and set seige[to Iconium] and take it the next turn(should be turn 52)[2 turns to get there and 2 for seige/assault].This is the beginning of war on the Turks
(turns 52-55) step #4----> Send the extra armies you have to Caesarea,Trebizond or Adana.(if you sent 4 armies to Iconium send the remaining 3 to each city that way you get 3 cities fast,[respectve if you sent 3 or 2 armies]).
(turns 55-60) step #5----> Make Trebizond a Supplier city if you took it so you can send military and naval units to any city that needs them. Make Caesarea military production and you pick what you want Iconium & Adana. Build, retrain, repair and recruit.
(turns 60-65) step #6----> remember in my last article when I said "hopefully there was a crusade and you have taken the target city"? well that comes into play now. You will want to use that city as your stronghold keep that city fully manned. take 10 units from Iconium and send them to a random city [owned by rebels] by your stronghold and take it. This will give you a large enough territory to put up a defensive when The Turks go on the offensive.
My next article "Venetian Guide to Eastern vs Western World War" will start on turn 75 that will give you enough time to do whatever it is you do.
Death is what happens when you "accidently" run into a spear

Death is when I kill you in war
Death is how lives end
