A diplomat has been sent to Poland to improve relations.

July 1478
Event: Italian Engineer Available
During the period 1450-1600, Italian siege engineers were highly sought after to teach the ways of trace Italienne to the militaries of Europe. In most cases, these engineers had no national identity and simply worked for whoever could afford to pay them.

July 1480
Event: Bourgeoisie Request Privileges
The Bourgeoisie class has grown increasingly resentful of the power of the noble failies and particularly their lack of opportunities in the higher ranks of government. Their only route into power is to marry into poor but well titled noble families or pry open positions in government circles.

King Vakhtang IV decides to grant them privileges. -50 diplomatic power.

November 1480
We can no longer claim that Mantrega is one of our provinces. We may need to get a diplomat back to Genoa to rework the claim. If France's relationship with Genoa would break, we could easily work in and take Azov, Mantrega and Cafa.

A Temple is under construction in Guria.

January 1481
Event: Skilled Diplomat
One of our ambassadors has a preternatural ability for understanding the entangling alliances that surround us, and the implications of taking one wrong step or saying just the right words. How shall we use this great statesman?
