Two things I have noticed since I recently began playing in the Rennaissance period. First is that building an alchemist does not add to the missle attack of gun powder units; it adds to mellee factor. Seems illogical to me.

Second, playing Venice I do not have a family tree. Every other period I have played Venice there was always a family tree. I even married off the Doge and Vice immediately to foreign princesses, and no kids have been born. So far, adoption is the only way to add generals. Is this the way it is meant to be?
