No western european states have tried anything in anatolia, though I did have a bit of a conflict with bohemia and austria over some greek minors.

Want to know why thats complete Bullshit?
Because for some fucking reason
Declaring war on a Greek OPM
which hardly matters to anyone at all
and does not even have the right Religon or Culture for its one province
Spoiler: CAUSES. THIS. (click to show/hide)

This shit happens every time. It's due to the culture of those minors being Italian, so all the other Italians try to help them out. Fight the moslems first, you can usually avoid alliance cascades if the Defender of the Faith is in Indonesia or something retarded like that.

By any chance was the OPM The Knights? Because I know their provience is Greek Orthodox, but it is ruled by Catholic Castalians.(Spanish culture I can never spell.) and usually ends up having all the big names defending it.
Trorbes:
So... are alliance cascades just a problem you have to deal with? I decided to play England, but every casus belli looks as if it would unite half of Europe against me, while my measly few allies barely give a damn. I guess it's safest to ignore them for the while, but what kinds of opportunities should I be looking for when I do want to start reclaiming land?
Eagle_eye:
look for weak nations that are only allied with other weak nations, nations whose allies can't reach you, and nations that are engaged in a war with a reasonably powerful opponent.

If you're England you really don't have to worry about this much at all. Just make sure you have the biggest navy in the world by a long shot. Just wreck their navies and if you don't want to face their armies just keep them from landing forces untill they're forced to default into a white peace. Easy!
England is pretty much in the best spot in all of Europe and it's trival to keep invaders off your soil if your wreck their transports and/or navies.
As England I usually just pick off all the island nations and let mainland Europe do it's own thing while I go colonisin'. Come back in a hundred years or so with enough Red Coats to block out the horrizon and reclaim Europe for the glory.
It's good to weaken Castile and Portugal at the start so they won't be competing with your for colonies. Consider an alliance with Granada so you can enter a war when Castile tries to finish the Inquisition.
From there on steal Iceland from Norway and wait for a core, colonise Greenland and wait for a core, then you'll have the whole North of America which nobody will be able to touch for centuries. After you have the Americas the world is your's. remember to oppress those dirty colonials, a free America is an unproductive America.
