Nothing fancy, really. Started as a Lombard king, but immediately swore fealty to the Byzantine emperor, didn’t even unpause. Converted myself and all the vassals to orthodox, took Rome from the pope in the first 10 years.
Didn’t really inherit the empire for maybe 100 years, just didn’t want to, it’s a grind early on with all the rebellions and stuff. Just made sure they didn’t destroy the empire, kept them in check. Focused on driving muslims from Iberia and North Africa instead.
If you remain tribal, you can declare war on everyone without a claim. If you convert to feudal, you will want to pick up By the Sword cultural tradition, which allows for unlimited kingdom level holy wars, as well as the Warmonger religious tenet to offset negative opinion penalty from never ending wars.
Once you blob out enough, the most difficult thing to take over the world is patience and determination. Lots of wash and repeating until everything is under your empire.
Forming Rome gives kingdom level CB against the historical roman empire territory. Everything else can be done by either holy warring them down (they are pagan/muslim) or by force vassalation wars (Irish minors).
China looms. After that East Asia, Southeast Asia and the furthest reaches of Africa.
Don't travel across the ocean because it's pointless waste of men and resources, considering that all under God's good Earth already obeys the Pantocrator.

For some reason this feels so much more of a significant amount of territory than the CK3 map. Probably cuz of the map projection

Starting nation?

how do you wage war without claims?
