Obvious Spambot
Please accept this small Civ from northern Italy:-
---
Friuli (Volchero)
Start Bias: Hill
Capital: Aquileia
UA: Patria Forii Iulii
Upon founding a Religion, your Holy City generates +1 Faith and +5% additional Religious Pressure for each City Connected to your Trade Network. Defensive Buildings are constructed 50% faster and generate +1 Gold in Cities within range of a Mountain.
UB: Rocca Bertranda (replaces Castle)
Unlike the Castle it replaces, the Rocca Bertranda costs no Maintenance and actually generates +1 Gold and +2 Faith while you are at War. Units ending their turn adjacent to the City in which it is built take 20 additional HP damage.
UU: Berrovieri (replaces Knight)
The Berrovieri is significantly cheaper than the Knight it replaces, and is designed to be a vicious counterattacking unit. Not only does it not suffer any Rough Terrain Penalties, it can also use Roads and Railroads in enemy territory and gains a +33% Combat Bonus while attacking a Unit on a Road. It also generates both Faith and Gold per kill. However, it has a permanent -25% Combat Penalty while defending. Requires Horses; upgrades to Cavalry as normal. The bonuses are kept upon upgrading; the penalty is not.
---
The Patriarchate of Friuli is one of those weird bits of northern Italian history that often gets overlooked or forgotten about, historians instead generally preferring to study Venice. But what if the Prince-Bishops of this ancient City had instead been triumphant, their forces riding out from their Alpine holds to crush the Venetians and secure a Christian bastion in the north, and thus secure their ties with the Holy Roman Empire?
Now that's a Civilization that could have been. =]
