The Knights are pretty fun actually, in my game I didn't care about colonization and went straight for the middle-east.

I do have the EU3 Chronicles pack on steam please someone help
Magna Mundi requires Heir to the Throne which is an older expansion pack. Steam treats the expansion packs as DLCs meaning you can only play with the latest (Divine Wind) on steam.

Well, since historically the pope + france backstabbed the knights, I'm more on a vendetta against them than bothering with the infidels

Yes and no. I was thinking of the Knights Templar when I set my goals for the game.

but the Rhodos knights are the Johanniter or later Malteser
had to look that up too 
can someone tell me how to get a game going with Byzantine?
I always manage to get Epirus but after that it gets like impossible. You dont get any allies and the Ottomans start with a huge fleet so you cant block of Constantinople either, this was even worse before the new beta patch
I even got to the point where I had 1 battle ship and 15 galleys and 2 transports
but I still lost to 15 galleys and 8 transports T_T
should I just mass galleys and declare war on the ottomans while their main army is in anatolia?

In my experience early Sea battles are very random. I think it was in my Castille game where I reloaded several times (can't recall why) and the in sea battles with Marocco/Algiers etc. I sometimes came out with twice the Navy I had before (due to captured ships) and sometimes lost half of it. Afaik Admirals and their stats make a large difference in these cases, so I suggest you try to get a good one before fighting- favor high Shock over Fire (early Units all seem to have terrible Fire-Power, hah).

edit: also, judging from the tooltips you might want to try galley for coastal skirmishes like that- they seem to do well cost efficiency wise- just can't leave the coasts with them.
Ooops misclicked quote instead of edit

well this time the Ottomans didnt attack at all. I managed to conquer Candar and Trebizond and then Venice just randomly declared war on me and my ally Neaples betrayed me and helped Venice.
After that I was too frustrated to try again and went back to my German Knights Order game
where I just got seriously raped by Austria and Sweden T_T
kinda sucks when you can only field 73000 men without penalty and austria has like 150000

Tried it myself- ridiculously hard start. -100 prestige ftl.
Still, 1576: (Byzantine = purple)

Uh well. I immediately declared war on the provinces that Naples set their eyes on, and managed to beat them to the sieges- that way I got janine, ragusa and sth. After that things got pretty bumpy, because the -prestige started to pile up to -100, fucking my compete chance into oblivion so it took me like 60 years before I sent my first mechant out (in retrospect I should probably have just ceded all the cores in turkey from the start).
The ottomans themselves were busy with the Hordes so that was no problem. I got some provinces out of Hungary (allied with Austria when they attacked H.) and from time to time the guarantees/alliances were so that I could attempt to get one of the greek cores.
When I finally had pushed the free trade slider enough so that I could get merchants out in force, things immediately got pretty easy due to the money streaming in.
I waited for a good moment and declared on the ottos, with the reconquest/conquest/holy war casus belli infamy was no problem at all and I could gobble up most of their territory.
What actually could work as well is to use spies on the greek cores- they will rebell over to you if the patriots control the province for long enough. Don't know if you can manage the gold though.
Oh yeah, research was 100% government with 1 Government tech adviser and 1 Master of the Mint until lvl 11 or so (both high level due to painting spam). National Bank + shrewd trade tactics was very much needed.
edit: Transylvania dind't beat anybody, they got freed when everybody gangbanged Austria.

Alright. The year is 1505, and the Empire of Cast-- Uh I mean Spain, now, has made it to the New World. Since it made sure to destroy Portugal, and since the English and French seem mostly interested in killing each other, I got first pick at the Caribbean. I've colonized Cuba and most of the western islands and I need to stop up for a second 'cause my economy is starting to buckle under the colony maintenance costs. I'm Catholic, Narrow-minded and I have the +1 colonist Idea I forgot the name of.
My problem lies with pirates. Twice a year or so they pop up all around my colonies, and I have to mop them all up. This is really annoying, when I like to superspeed my way through peacetime. But these pirates force me to stop up all the time. Can I fix this somehow?
