The hell? I don't remember adding fish resources to the African colonies... That's something I'm going to need to fix, thanks for that! as for Paris, I moved it in the last update, or did something to city, regardless, thanks for catching the lack of Christianity! As for amsterdam , and Syracuse,... You say the dutch revolted against your rule and allied yourself with the European powers around the middle of the 1500s? Odd indeed!
In regards to Sicily, That's an unintended side effect, I could pop a culture building in the city.
As for Italy's rapid expansion, I'll see about nerfing Rome's starting culture, but being very populous, as well as having some culture buildings AND being the seat of Christianity (which is very well spread) grants some culture bonuses, and I'm not sure if I'd be willing to slash Rome's place as head of the Christian world for game balance issues. But I'll see about nerfing the starting culture. As for the Name, Rodrigo Borgia was indeed Called pope Alexander VI. In truth I wanted to have his son, Cesare, portrayed as the leader of Italy, as Cesare was a hefty conqueror and probably one of the most fitting Italian leaders to represent the dis-unified Italy.
As for Italy's consumption of the HRE what would your suggestion here be? Germany has a very bad position game-wise, even with their Hapsburg control of hungary.
As for spain, my own experience with them is that their starting conquistadores help with wars against morroco and raping indigenous peoples of all their wealth and heritage. The early caravel helps me to quickly establish my presence in the new world while the conquistadores I can later ship onto a galleon and use to conquer native peoples. I haven't had the culture problem you do with italy but meh.
I Would -love- to hear how your relationship with Abu Abdullah is going though, Let me know what the Moroccans are up to in your game
anyways, as you seem to be enjoying a play through as spain. tell me what you think of this, if you don't mind: I've been toying with the idea of changing Columbus' ship to a carrack, which allows for two units to be transported, I know Spain doesn't quite need the colonization boost... but it would help spain colonize the new world faster as a player, while as AI it might not influence the game much. Opinions?
Also Kahnate refers to the political entity ruled by a Kahn, if it were bulgarian or turkish it would be Kaganate, but the point being, I'm not going to change it to "Golden Kahn". it remains the Golden Kahnate
Also in my next update, Salzburg has two courthouses, a rathause and a courthouse.
Oops!
So, here's a list of updates so far:
-Salzburg now only has their unique courthouse, no more Rathause
-Barcelona's starting culture increased to 30
-Rome's starting culture reduced to 50
-Sao Tome Only has Crab
-Paris is now properly christian
-Palace removed from Cherson
-Babur's invasion to have an extra unit, not an elephant, to make things a tad easier in india
-Ethiopia given workers
Again, Oops!
-Whatever else comes to attention >_>
Again, thank you so much for the input JLN, I do enjoy reading the run-through of your empire aswell
