JD Request Invasion From China

[Liberty Prime]

So this is my first JD game and I'm Russia. The Byzantine empire has been expanding out of control and to get some more valuable land I will have to start attacking them. So one of the boons you can request from China is to invade somebody and destroy the top title. This will totally shatter the Byzantine empire and let me expand tremendously. I have the grace to ask but China is in a famine so I have to wait until I can test out the boon. I want to know what kind of numbers the Chinese will be invading with. The Byzantines have about 80k troops, and I am willing to assist the Chinese with my 60k troops if it will shatter their realm.

As for why I'm doing this, I need to expand. They are orthodox like me but I was recently excommunicated on the Byzantine emperors request and my character is known for being a total ♥♥♥♥ (he murdered his kid and his brother when they caught him sleeping with their wives) so it works RP wise I guess.

depends on the strength of the target...
but they run from india to their destination
and will lose a lot of troops on the way....

Considering that they can force FRANCE to be a tributary they don't seem to be having much problems with attrition. I think their troops are attrition free.... Plus I said the Byzantine empire expanded like crazy. Like it's literally almost in India now.

in my game i ask them to "invade" the Arabian Empire thye start with 120k troops and lost 20-30k on the way and no they are not attrition free ;) They gather their troops and walk through areas with 10k supply
if you use the tribut CB the destination country can agree and the war will end without even a fight it only takes a while


( if china is on expansion diplomatic reach is increased and can easily reach france which may be weakened by wars or rebelions )

Thank you for the info, I'm still trying to understand the changes. Well the Byzantines are deep into Persia but aren't actually in India yet. I figure if even like you said that 1/4 of the troops don't make it and they reach Byzantines, that will be enough. I will definitely help out a lot I've got 60k troops and the AI is bad at multiple front wars. I'm going to go ahead and do it since the numbers are reasonable. Thanks.
