We even had a colony starting up in Tenerife and had moved our capital to Corsica.Īt this point, the good Doge of Genoa consulted the Duke of Milan. Now, we felt like looking westwards, and were exploring the Atlantic. Fortunately, our big blue ally in the north helped greatly in dealing with mainland Aragon, and we were able to make a stand and even gain from the coalition.īy the end of the first day, approximately 1488-1490, the Doge of Genoa held the following provinces: Albenga, Genoa and Lucca in mainland Italy, as well as Corsica, Ibiza and all of Sicily in the Mediterranean Sea. The Coalition consisted of Naples, Aragon and Venice. Unfortunately, His Holiness was a bit aggressive in his procuring of more Papal States, and a coalition of big strong AIs fired against our Italian Alliance. Through pure luck, Aragon lost their PU over Naples, which helped quite a bit with the warring. The next 20 years or so consisted of The Italian Alliance consolidating their power in Italy. This served both them and us well, as we would have no wars in Crimea, they would not have to pick a fight with the Holy Roman Empire, and we received a lump sum of cash. The Doge of Genoa found that dealings with the Khan were surprisingly civil: We reached an understanding of us selling off our provinces to the Khan over a period of 40 years. Simultaneously with our Italian wars, we reached out to the Khan of Crimea. They were quickly dealt with, and Italy started to feel a little bit safer. Quickly, a claim was forged on the Florentine, and they were attacked from three fronts.
Second order of business was the Florentine problem: Luckily our alliance with Milan and His Holiness held no backstabbing was done.
If nothing, they would serve as a deterrent for other players going into offensive wars with us. This served two purposes: We were getting the hell out of Anatolia, and we were able to field two heavy ships as well as a flagship right off the bat.Īs Genoa we were in a position to make an alliance with AI France, which we made quite quickly. We quickly mentioned to the Khan of Crimea that we would be very interested in talking to them, as soon as they had a moment.įor Genoa, the first order of business was selling off Scio to the Ottomans. So, we forged an Italian Alliance, where we parted Italy three-ways: Genoa were to receive Lucca, and further down the road, Sicily His Holiness would receive Florentine holdings as well as the other regions south of Milan and Milan was to have the aid of The Papal Armies as well as the Genoese fleet in his conquest of Venice. Luckily, we all three agreed that Italy is simply too small for four nations. We quickly met with His Holiness the Pope, as well as the Duke of Milan. We found ourselves in quite a precarious situation, and for the one hour of diplomacy, we had two main objectives: Reach an agreement with Crimea concerning our eastern holdings and come to an agreement with the other Italian players. We were quite surrounded by other players: We were close to The Papal States, Milan, and Florence in Italy Savoy and Provence in France Switzerland in Southern Germany Crimea neighbouring us in the Black Sea and Serbia, Wallachia, Moldovia, Byzantium and The Knights in the Balkans/Anatolia. As Genoa we found ourselves in quite a precarious situation: We had two holdings in main land Italy, we held Corsica, as well as Scio off of the Ottoman coast, as well as three provinces neighbouring Crimea in the east. Prior to the game starting, we had approximately one hour to start diplomacy with the other players.
