what provinces did you give the Byzantine Empire?
Dont worry, Ill get you a big fat list of names and fictional monarchs.
The provinced I would give the Byzantine Empire to start with are Morea and Trebizond, with Morea as the capital.
Also make them a vassall of the Ottoman Empire.
What file do you go in to edit the game files?

What was the Lovecraftian story? Where can I get it?
HP Lovecraft was a horror writer. A very good and creative one, at that. He did a lot of stuff about ancient empires in his books.

Yeah! Why not General Curwen and Admiral Obed Marsh? Maybe the empire was assisted by a deep one colony in the black sea. I guess the turks were SURPRISED

This would make a rather interesting lead-in story for a scenario...
Clarification: There is no Lovecraft book about Byzantium (to my knowledge). The ancient empires Dark Knight was talking about is Hyperborea, Atlantis and Stygia. Lovecraft did quite a lot of colaberations with Robert E. Howard. That is why there is alot of mythos elements in the Conan stories.
You seem to have missed a great writer, more info about this great writer:

This is a very short intro.
One of my posts seems to have disappeared, so I'll reiterate the information.Yannelis,
As far as I know there is no Lovecraft story about the Byzantine Empire. I just mentioned him because of Cthulhu's username ('Cthulhu' is the name of H.P. Lovecraft's most famous creation).
