16 July – Our truce with the Venetians has ended…
I declare war on Venice

The siege begins

Mauritius is Sugar
6 Oct – Zeta falls
1 Dec – ADMIN TECH 10 – I can get another group of ideas
15 Dec – We take Dalmatia
I take their three Venetian holdings right by their former capital – Friuli, Verona, and Treviso
War Reparations and hundreds of cash.
And that’s it!
Here’s let’s take a look!
I zoomed in on my new three holdings so you can see them there all nice and pretty. You can also see that we are now a Great Power! We’ll come back to that laters.
All holdings are Venetian Catholic unless I tell you otherwise!
Friuli – 14 dev, hills, workshop, marketplace, church and farm estate here making wine. They have 0% unrest but 40% autonomy and make us 0.67 monthly
Treviso – To their west is Treviso, a strait connection to Venezia with a level 2 fort. Paper making in the hills here with marketplace, church, and workshop, 21 dev, and 0.89 cash.
Verona – To its west is Verona, farmlands, Grain, 24 development, natural harbor, farm estates, marketplace, courthouse, church, and workshop and makes us 0.99 monthly.
And there we are. They are already in a state with Venezia, so they were elevated and thus made perfect additions to my empire. I don’t care about any more Venice holdings and if I do war with them again it’s probably just to force-vassalize them.
