All right heres the first update. i didn't change the city names (except Brescia, which i think was a typo in the first place), but may do it in the future, i fixed the glitch where mountains were impassible, and made settlers available with physic and cost 3 populations points (in an act to discourage the ais tendency to build a city wherever threes a free piece of land. i also made some new wonders.
Montaverdi's Opera: same a J.S. Bachs Cathedral
The Art of Glass Blowing: in Venice, +1 trade on every tile in the city, increases tax output
Da Vinci's "The Last Supper": Milan, makes 3 unhappy citizens happy
Palazzo Pubblico: Sienna, makes 2 people happy, and adds one defensive bonus to the city.
Brunelleschi's Dome: Florence, doubles the effect of Cathedrals, puts one in every city of that civilization.
Code of The Knights Templar: Sun Tzu's art of war
Galileo's Observatory: Copernicus's Observatory
Cure for The Black Death: city growth causes 2 citizens instead of one
The Great University: (If theres a better name for this one please tell me) Newton's university
Titians "Venus Of Urbino": Makes 3 citizens Happy
The Great Mint: Adam smith's trade co.
Dante's "Divine Comedy": makes 1 happy citizen in every city
Machiavelli's "The Prince": Reduces war weariness in all cities, increases the chances of a leader rising
*Mini Wonders*
College of Surgeons: requires 4 universities, battlefield medicine
Virgil's Anead: Heroic Epic
The Inquisition: requires 2 Cathedrals, makes one citizen "happy" in each city
The House of The Nobility: Forbidden Palace, also adds trade
The Council of 10: the pentagon
The Ghetto: Iron works, adds one trade too
A few notes from Italy...
It's "Monteverdi", not Montaverdi.
"Siena", not Sienna
"Code of The Knights Templar": they never were a significant force in Italy and anyway they were more a religious/political force than a military one. But you can use the "Dell'arte della guerra" by Machiavelli which is the exact equivalent (actually, better) of Sun Tzu's.
"Cure for The Black Death": alternatively, you can use the "Ca' Granda" hospital in Milano, 1st public (i.e. non religious) hospital in the world.
"The Prince" is a politics (not military) manual, aimed at teaching the princes and governors how to behave in domestic and foreign activities.
"The Great University": there's an embarassing choice. I think Bologna's maybe the oldest (founded in AD 800), but not sure...
"The Great Mint": can use the "Zecca" (Venezia's mint, named after it being on the Giudecca island name, pronounced by Venetian dialect), which is today's Italian word for "mint".
Alternatively, you can simply use the Banca (bank) from Firenze or Milano (from which today's Lombard st. in London).
Aenead = Eneide.
The Council of 10 was actually a govern from Siena, not a military summit (you can use it instead of The House of The Nobility). Actually, it was very typical of that age that everything military was completely in the hands of single mercenary leaders (no Pentagon, sorry).
By the way, that was the Age of mercenary wars and you can use the names of great mercenary commanders for the leaders:
Giovanni dalle Bande Nere
Francesco Sforza
Federico da Montefeltro
Fortebraccio
Micheletto Attendolo
Muzio Attendolo
Braccio da Montone
Bartolomeo Colleoni
Gianfrancesco Gonzaga
Hope this helps.
Very interesting scenario!
