    Why ask for an Italy civ when you can reasonably ask for two Italian based civs?

    Once again, as I previously said I can do nothing but cede and accept what you are saying, as - judging from your name and profile description (I’m not sure what alphabet is it, almost sure it’s from Indian subcontinent, I’d think Sanscrit but I’m almost sure I’m wrong) - you are Indian or from...

    Why ask for an Italy civ when you can reasonably ask for two Italian based civs?

    Well, first of all thank you for reading all my looong post and replying point to point to all my sentences and of course I can't but agree with you on almost all you said. Regarding Germany, well that was a very poor choice imho and I remember it being heavily criticized already in 2016. They...

    Why ask for an Italy civ when you can reasonably ask for two Italian based civs?

    Well, sukritact, first of all thank you for all the awesome mods you gave us in these 4.5 years. I know it isn't really in topic, but it's the least I can do! I remember downloading several of your mods, but unluckily my computer is not very fast, so if I want to actually finish the game before...

    I looked at your 3 Italian civ ideas and they were cool, nothing to say. I mean, I would not call them "Italy", but the implementation was for sure nice!

    Imho no. He did not play such a big role, like for example Gandhi, as after 1861 he was kind of set apart, as politicians feared he might use his volunteers to do a coup and he, disgusted by politics, retired/was forced to retire. It could be possible to use him as a Great General, with a retire...

    Why ask for an Italy civ when you can reasonably ask for two Italian based civs?

    Well, definitely not. At least not as Italy itself. Cavour, whom I proposed for Sardinia, served as PM during his reign, but VE II is quite disliked because when he was crowned King of Italy he assumed the name of Vittorio Emanuele II instead of Vittorio Emanuele I, hence suggesting that the...

    Why ask for an Italy civ when you can reasonably ask for two Italian based civs?

    It is painful to be able to only like this reply once. Because I agree with 99% of what you said. I'm happy you enjoyed your time here, I'm happy to see other people say that, if France has 2.5 civs (because Gauls and France + Rome, which has many French cities in its list), then we (the...

    Why ask for an Italy civ when you can reasonably ask for two Italian based civs?

    Well, the I have to say "ubi maior, minor cessat". I didn't know you were a scholar on such subject and therefore I, an engineer, have to admit you are right, and what we studied in history at the Liceo was not as deep as your courses, so please forgive me for acknowledging them as just...

    Why ask for an Italy civ when you can reasonably ask for two Italian based civs?

    Well, this could be part of his second leader ability, you know for what? Exactly! His version as a leader of Germany, as his action in this diplomatic transfer was performed while he was HREmperor. And for how to implement it, I've got an idea: it would work in a way similar to Commodore...

    Why ask for an Italy civ when you can reasonably ask for two Italian based civs?

    Ok cool! I was tricked by my Latin heritage into thinking that the milite could be an “infantry” unit (of course being a medieval era, it would have been a men at arms replacement). However, I checked out and I can not find any mention of a Norman milite, where did you find it, just to know?

    Why ask for an Italy civ when you can reasonably ask for two Italian based civs?

    For the unique building, your suggestion of Vineyard led me to think of Ars Venatoria, id est Hunting, as I recall Federico II to be a great enthusiast of haunting with the aid of hawks and this was a common practice in middle ages, especially in the Norman Kingdom. So maybe, the UB could be a...

    Other dual-civ leaders you think would be interesting

    If they bring, as I hope, Norman Sicily into the game, Federico II could lead Norman Sicily AND Germany, just like his grandad Barbarossa

    Medieval and Renaissance buildings elimination thread

    Grand Master's Chapel (12)(15-3) Shipyard (19)(18+1) University (24) Once upon a time, I used not to build shipyards. Then I noticed that they also gave production bonus equal to their adjacency (which is almost always granted to be at least 2, but if you found cities accurately it becomes...

    Why ask for an Italy civ when you can reasonably ask for two Italian based civs?

    Well... this is a tough question and I need to reply in a longer way than you probably expected. As I said, I am actually fine with no Italy being in the game and I am a bit tired to read about people asking for Italy to be inserted in the game with Garibaldi or Lorenzo de' Medici as a leader...
