No, it was not - the Byzantines get across without loss, following losing several battles, though not catastrophically.

Not have Rum at a disadvantage, overall, but it would mean that the ERE isn't at one.

Night battles like Kaptron mean that there are tons of unknowns, and that it's very possible for smaller armies to come ahead. The odds of the ERE winning in daytime are far better.

That Battle of Caesarea, their opponents were more raiders than anything. Capturing a few more does little.

Such an empire, not happening.

Even in that era, England and France were largely unified. Germany, not even close.

Not possible to occupy more of Italy.

The Arabs did stop around the Indus.

As you've already noted, anything similar to a previous dynasty in Chinese is more or less out.

Yes, I think that anytime is a good time.

The Paulicians, no way.

Same goes for the Bogomilians.
