22 December 1509 was one of the greatest victories ever gained by the Duchy of Ferrara.

The Battle of Polesella

The Venetian fleet was moored on the river Po, waiting for the right moment to attack Ferrara. Thank's to the high level of the river, the Venetian ships were at the same level as the embankment. During the night the Ferrarese set up their famous artillery and opened fired right at dawn. Fully surprised the Venetian crews and ships were completely overwhelmed. Many ships were sunk and others captured. The soldiers and sailors who tried to escape into the water were taken prisoner and shot or killed without mercy as soon as reach firm ground. It was rather a massacre than a battle.
When the battle ended almost 2000 Venetian sailors and soldiers were either drowned or killed.

24 February 1525 was the decisive battle during the wars of 1521-26.

The Battle of Pavia

An Imperial–Spanish army under the nominal command of Charles de Lannoy (and working in conjunction with the garrison of Pavia, commanded by Antonio de Leyva) attacked the French army under the personal command of Francis I of France in the great hunting preserve of Mirabello outside the city walls. In the four-hour battle, the French army was split and defeated in detail. The French suffered massive casualties, including many of the chief nobles of France. Francis himself was captured by Habsburg troops and imprisoned by Charles V and forced to sign the humiliating Treaty of Madrid, surrendering significant territory to his captor. The outcome of the battle cemented Habsburg ascendancy in Italy.

Dear TIW-Fellows!

After a long absence due several real life issues and my studies, I am more than happy to announce that we are back on track!

As you already know, we have fully implemented all scripts of our previous version, which means, we are in need of several reliable play-testers!!

You guys have now the opportunity to lend us a hand and get a first glance at Italian Wars - Ultimate!

Job description:
- Play-testing factions and specific events
- Reliable and able to work within a team
- Reporting bugs and typos, etc.

Well, if you think you fit the job, drop me a pm, let us know right here or send us a message on Facebook or Twitter!

Besides we are currently looking for play-testers, we also want to give a hint what things you can expect next.
The first event tree we'll tackle will be that of the Duchy of Savoy.
Expect the first updates at the beginning of September!

Best regards,
Aneirin

Dear TIW-Fans,

during the last few weeks I was quite busy fixing several pending issues and tasks with TIW-Ultimate. Simply because that stuff cannot be shown in any kind of preview with fancy pictures and vivid descriptions, there was no new post in the preview section.
