Playing Venice - much harder than Spain, having great fun.
- Had a full stack but no family member in Venice. When a new family member came of age, he didn't appear right outside the city on the bridge or immediately on the other side of it. No. He appeared way away from the river, right down towards the province to the south, and *behind* an enemy AI unit, cutting him off between it and the AI city from any access to Venice. Anyone else seen this issue playing Venice?
- Attacked Rebs on Rhodes as Venice. Greek rebs were blond. Not impossible but pretty damned unlikely. Also noticed quite a number of central or southern European units (French, Spanish, Italian etc.) are mysteriously fair-haired.
The only factions which should have an appreciable number of blonds - and even then in minority (except perhaps Denmark) - are Denmark, HRE, England, Scotland, Russia and the Baltic and Scandinavian rebels.
- Last funny thing on this campaign was how the Pope saved me unexpectedly. HRE was sieging Venice with a huge army and the outlook looked bleak. Next turn the Pope calls a Crusade and suddenly the besieging army turns into a Crusader stack! But it doesn't move, it just sits on the bridge leading to Venice for about 10 turns, even after it has lost the Cross icon meaning the Crusade is over. Then it fails to reattack me and moves away![]()
