Let's assume that the Empire of Nicaea isn't as successful, and the Empire of Trebizond is lucky enough to cross the Bosphorus and recapture the Former Capital of the Autokratoreia.

That would mean that the entire ruler numbering would change, Nicaea has it's own numbering, and the continuation of the Autokratoreia's numbering goes to Trebizond rulers, so the first Trebizond ruler would be 'Alexios VI' instead of the first, and so on and so forth.

So, the Komnenoi retake New Rome, do you think they would manage the state better or not?
