DHRR v0.8 Previews

[For Whom the Bell Tolls]

Awesome!

I have never played as Venice in any form, looks like this might change with dHRR 0.8 release.

[The Last Hope]

At last! I think Venice is getting some much needed attention. ( I still think it should be connected to land though, as Venice's trade [especially AI trade] is pitiful and expensive to increase with only a port)

[konny]

A land connection wouldn't help much tradewise because all possible trading partners are rebel provinces, of which Venice is not strong enough to conquer them early in the game. Once she is strong enough to do so, it is in fact good that these (in particular Bologna) are not connected by land because the sea trade between Bologna and Venice makes much more than land trade between Venice and Bologna, Verona and Görz would have done.

I have improved Venice trade by adding three units of textiles to the island. With that, and of course the priority improvement of sea trade, I was able to raise the income from the city of Venice to 6,000fl/turn within 100 turns, what was about the same ammount I made from all colonies together at the same point in game.

when is dHRR 0.8 coming out?

[wolfen_84]

Oh my god! This is amazing! Really, it seems a great work!

[AnthoniusII]

I can't beleive my eyes...

[toluas]

Awesome work!

[XXVIII]

Amazing work!

You could even go further by applying possibilities to diplomats? If it possible that is. The Venetian diplomats were known for their stunning work and a lot of Venetian "rulers" were diplomats or even merchants for the Signora. It would greatly increase the size of the council! Enabling them to become characters after a certain age and a degree of negotiation skills. I wish i knew how you do this !

This is great! I think i've read John J. Norwich' A History of Venice like 3 times now

[Pnutmaster]

I'm very eager to play with these Venetian traits Excellent representation of a merchant empire!

[CK23]

looks awesome.

[VINC.XXIII]

The possibilities to simulate the real politic life is drasticly reduced in MTW2.

[konny]

You didn't include the 'Savii' ? Maybe interesting for something above 50+ minor consiglio members with no real hopes of becoming either doge or ducal councillor?

hmm... I remember that I didn't want to include them for a reason, but I cannot recall what that reason was anymore.

The possibilities to simulate the real politic life is drasticly reduced in MTW2.

To be fair: A lot of roleplaying stuff that has been implemented would not have been possible with the RTW-engine. But the thing with the heir is indeed a serious step back (I find the princesses rather useless in the way the game is treating them).

[XXVIII]

hmm... I remember that I didn't want to include them for a reason, but I cannot recall what that reason was anymore.

maybe its because of the age limit. I havent had any character live that passed 63-64, around the age when perhaps Savii-trait would become usefull.

It's is perhaps interesting for non casa nuova/vecchia character that married into the FT, who have small change of ever joining maggior consiglio and havent become podesta/castellano..

[VINC.XXIII]

Yes princess have in many way(reality,history) like husband last childrens or brothers of king, plus the women and the bishops are very importants characters in the history, for the regence for example.
