Italy 1400 A.D. (C3C)

[Metacomet]

Sardinia was a part of Aragon too:

"In 1297, Pope Boniface VIII in order to settle diplomatically ghee War of the Vespers, which broke out in 1282 between the Angevins and Aragon's over the possession of Sicily, established mote propriety a hypothetical "regnum Sarduniae et Corsicae". The Pope enfeoffed it to the Catalan Jaume II the Just, king of the Crown of Aragon (a confederation made up of the kingdoms of Aragon and Valencia, plus the peasants of Catalonia), promising him support should he wish to conquer Pisan Sardinia in exchange for Sicily.

In 1323 Jaume II of Aragon formed an alliance with the kings of Arborea and, following a military campaign which lasted a year or so, occupied the Pisa territories of Cagliari and Gallura along with the city of Sassari, naming them "kingdom of Sardinia and Corsica"

The aragonese conquest of sardinia finished in 1409:

"In 1409 Marti the younger, king of Sicily ad heir to Aragon, defeated the judicable Sardinians at Sanluri and conquered once and for all the entire land"

I konw that Aragon is not in the map, but you need to meke them one kingdom. If you want you can name it The Kingdom of Sicily and Sardinia.

And they must have a different kind of goverment that the absolute kings, because the Kings of Aragon had a powerful parlament, and they responded to that parlament if they wanted more money. Some kind of a constitucional monarqy.

Corsica must be a part of Genoa:


From 1284 to 1768ce: Five centuries of Genoese Time


Genoa torn itself by a succession of plots and of foreign occupations, will interest itself a little in Corsica before having to face the Aragonais, to whom the papacy had confided Corsica. Genoa really established itself there only in the middle of the 14th century, while the isle was under the threat of plague. The Genoese time ended with the Independence war (1729-1769ce). The first three centuries of the genoese time were a time of unrest and anarchy during which Genoa delegated the government of Corsica to the Maona - an association of genoese tradespeople- then, to the financiers of the Saint Georges Bank. It is also a time disturbed by the spanish designs on this torn land.The corsican lords, leading an anarchic policy of successive and conflicting alliances with Genoa and the Aragon, ruined the country. Their castles were destroyed during the revolt (1358ce) of an exasperated people, led by Sambucuccio of Alando.

It is the turn of the France of Henri II, in war against the Spain of Charles Quint, to land on the isle in 1553ce. Nevertheless France, whose army, become fuller of the isle employed Corsican troops led by Sampiero Corso, had very fast to return it to Genoa. Sampiero, refusing this situation, started in vain the war again against Genoa, which finally established its authority. Peace and amnesty set up in 1569 in a Corsica which is ruined, depopulated, ravaged by epidemics. "Civil and Criminal Statutes" and also institutions were given to it. It is on this depopulated isle that Greeks fleeing from Turks settled and created Paomia then Cargese.

Throughout the 16th century the coasts are surrounded with towers in order to offer a better protection against the raids of the Barbary Coasts people. From this genoese occupation are dated the towns and citadels of Calvi and Bonifacio.The Church known a real revival, Ajaccio was endowed with a new cathedral. The development of farming in the eastern plain is thwarted, despite numerous efforts, by malaria. The farm economy remains for the main part pastoral whereas the economic development asserts itself in the region of the Corsican Cape. Authoritarian, the genoese domination proved to be a yoke thwarting the development of a real democraty and led to the appearance of the first insurrectionary movements.

Also Naples must be in locked alliance with france, the kingdom dinasty was a CAPET-ANJOU, and in locked war with Aragon.

And Genoa must have a lock alliance with France Because between 1396-1406 was under french ocupation, it was some kind of puppet state.

The Venetian Musketeer unit appears to be missing from the 2 downloads provided! Pitty.

This is an great scenario and I hope I can get this fixed.

 

[Johann MacLeod]

oh, your right, i forgot about that unit. just go into the editor and delete it. i knew there had to ba a problem i overlooked, as i dont think i added it into the pediacons file

 

[iirving]

Thanks. I remove it and made sure the Venetians got the regular Musketeer unit.. Seems to be a few other missing Units. Looking forward to the next release. Good work.

 

[Metacomet]

Johann MacLeod do you care about my sugestions or better I stop to send it?

 

[Johann MacLeod]

well you could make them slightly shorter, i have read them and considered them, thankyou

Sorry but I always want to explain everything in the clearest way, with no doubt about. And, if you don't mean, what do you think about that modifications?

Thankyou to you

 

[Rhye]

I wonder who gave the three bad marks...
It was time that someone made this scenario! I was going to do it myself with the help of a friend of mine with a degree in Medieval History, but when I saw you were doing it, we stopped working

 

[Rhye]

But now, something wrong...

- Pontrempoli is Pontremoli
- Firenza is Firenze
- Split should be Spalato, as a venetian city
- Rijeka once was Fiume under Italy; now it's called Rijeka, but I'm not sure how it was called in 1400
- Please correct Bologna location
- Why don't you set the map flat (no x-wrapping)? Those western mountains are useless
- I think Ferrara and Ravenna weren't together

 

[Johann MacLeod]

Do you think Ravenna should be a part of the papal states? i wasnt too sure, i knew it was a fairly important city though

 

[Procifica]

Ravenna traditionally was a part of the papal territory of the Romagna, at the northeastern end.

Metacomet is right about Corsica...it was under Genoa nominally until France took it for good in 1768.

 

[Johann MacLeod]

i fixed the venetain musketeer problem and corsica is now a part of genoa

 

[Procifica]

Oh forgot to add, Ravenna is a very important city during this time period, definitely put it with the Papal States.

 

[clabauterman]

Thank's for the scenario. Very interesting period. I'll give my comments (and any historical input ;-)) when I've played it.

But it crashes when configuring the scenario. I get this message:
and others too.

Is this a problem that can be corrected in the Editor? Or have I simply not installed into the correct folders? Or what is the problem?
