Final Retrospective:
The following nations were our vassals: The Mamluks, Hungary, Poland, Saxony, Crimea, Serbia, Lan Xang, Lan Na, Sulu, Maldive, Wallachia, Transylvania, Shan, Golden Horde, Pattani, Moldavia and Shan. That’s 17 vassals.
We had 155/115/16 in our army
17/14/3/37 in our navy
Our ending techs were 51 gvnment, 52 in trade and production, and 53 in naval and land.
Our form of governmeant was a Feudal Monarchy for the entire game, and we never changed.
As the Papal Controller, we currently naturally control six of the seven cardinals because they came from my territory.
6 of the 8 Holy Roman Emperor electors currently support us. The eight electors are:
Italy
Lithuania
Armagnac
Auvernne
Bourbonnais
France
Provence
Austria
Four of those are French vassals, so you might expect them to lean for France. In fact, we get the vote from everybody except Lithuania, whi leans France, and Austria, who leans Denmark.
One of my basic strategies in this game was to never get bogged down in any major European Wars. We were never at major war with France, Austria, Saxony, England and so forth. We never took land from Portugal or Castille. Our wars were fought in Italy and the Meditteranean.
We finished the game with the top prestige at 49%, which was not that high, having diminished since we were last at war from 99%.
We have 0% inflation. The highest inflated nation was Poland with 38%.
Except in government, where the highest tech was 53, we finished with the top tech in each area. We weren’t even tied with any othe countries – always being at the top.
We had a lot more provinces than the next highest country.
Provinces.
The Top Twenty-Five Tax Provinces
Venezia * 33.8
Liguria *
Thrace *
Alexandria *
Lombardia
Astrakhan *
Firenze
Roma
Napoli
Malacca *
Savoie
Barcelona
Mantua
Cape #
Siena
Mataram #
Zanzibar *
Bithynia
Palermo
Valencia
Bern
Salonica
Korales
Messina
Pisa 12.2
There’s still a ton of Italian provinces dominating the list. Asterisks are COTs and number signs are colonies. I think this is an interesting list, because it often demonstrates where the people are (more people = more taxes, no matter how low the taxbase is). I put the number of tax ducats after the top and bottom to show you how varied this list is. The 26th province? Thang Long.
Now let’s look at production
Okinawa 97.5
Makassar
Malacca
Korales
Taiwan
Tripolitania
Kilwa G
Angora
Bali-Lombok
Kartli
Erserum
Alania G
Bursa
Bithynia
Aleppo
Antalya
Brescia
Lombardia
Anatolia
Rio de Janeiro
Sofala G
Mombasa
Siena
Abbruzzi
Napoli 52.5
Again you see non-European doiminace on this chart with G standing for gold mines. One of the interesting things you see here is that as I build manufactories, new provinces emerge onto this list, like Rio de Janeiro.
The variance here is not nearly as strong from top to bottom as it is for the tax tops. The number may be bigger, but places that are lower, like Smyrna and Palermo at 26 and 27 are still making over 50 ducats each in production alone. In fact, you have to go down to number 35 at Jamaica before you drop below 50 ducats annually in production, and Jamaica still has 49.9.
Religion - I have Sunnis, Catholics and Orthodoxes in my nation and that’s it. Catholics are around 90% or so.
Culture
Lombard will always be our greatest culture. T looks to be around 60%. Next highest are:
Turkish
Catalan
Greek
al Misr Arabic
Sicilian
Almost every province we own is a core.
Ming finished the game with 8 COTs which foils our 7.
We made the most money annually of any nation, which you would only expect.
And that’s Italy (Naxos) in retrospective. I’ll hook you folks up with some maps later on. Is there any informationt hat you want about the nation that I didn’t give?
