Excellent mod! Here's one reason why: Playing as the Genovese (on Viceroy, first time) I was able to take part in a chapter of history that is quite dear to me: the defense of Constantinople against the Ottomans. Having completed the first 2 UHV conditions, and with the 3rd being a foregone conclusion, I thought I'd give this foray a shot with limited expectations. That is, until I started to actually succeed in keeping back the Turks (and preserving my link to the Crimea).
Therefore, since having 10 OBs is, at this point, a joke, let me propose an idea for a 3rd UHV: ensure the survival of Byzantium until a certain year. On viceroy, I kept up until about 1600 without the aid of Hungary or Arabia, two of the Ottomans' main foes early on (of course the Hapsburgs came later). This isn't merely a distraction; the Genovese did, indeed, take part in the 1453 defense of the city in order to ensure their trade with the Crimea and other Black Sea interests remained open.
I'll admit my ignorance regarding what this would involve in the actually modding process, but it seems like the 3rd Genovese UHV is just a placeholder at this point. Cheers!
