Does the free specialist disappear when castles go obsolete?

I don't believe so... per the code, it would seem not to... but I am not sure until someone actually plays it out. Hopefully someone can post their results regarding that.

The Italian word is Fortezza and not Fortrezza (I know this because I'm Italian). You could also use the name Castello Sforzesco (Castle of the Sforzas, that was built by Francesco Sforza in Milan).
PS: I'm sorry to repost this comment here but I want to be sure that you read this because this civ seems well made and I want to help. You could change the name directly when you put the animated leaderhead, so you don't have to put this down two times.

Fortezza is correct... I made a mistake. I lived in Italy, but my Italian skills decay every day I don't use them.
I will correct this mistake for the next release version. Not sure when that will be.

Thanks kochman, this will be very helpfully

Fixed "Fortrezza" to be "Fortezza" in most places (perhaps not everywhere)...

Anyone out there feel like making a Francesco Sforza LH? It would really put this civ over the top to have a good animated leaderhead. Let's not forget that the Milanese basically kidnapped and made a slave of the great master Leonardo Da Vinci... Definitely worthy effort!
