Statements
Andy York (Byzantines): Not much to say as I wasn't specifically following the game and just took over for a final set of moves. Congrats to the winner who definitely was in the driver's seat when I came onboard.
Pasquale Giovine (Pisa): Final comments of the Queen of Italy, Kinzica de’ Sismondi.
I wish to thank Chris for the GMing.
Well, also this game is gone. I took advantage of the unknown identities, because, when my name is clear, I always have problems to find allies. Instead here Papacy was initially a good ally, but his no-playing made me to suspect of him and then I was always ready to punish him when he decided to betray me, as I did!
About Normans, his wavering behavior followed us for all the game; at the end I was constrained to conquer him because he did not support me against Byzantines in any manner and so he became an obstacle for my winning.
The first player of HRE was for me an unknown one: he had the possibility to eliminate Venice from the game, attacked also from the south by Byzantines, but he did not do: why? By eliminating Venice and having the force, he could make a strong pact with Byzantines and give me serious problems. Instead he continue with two war on the two side and perished poorly.
The only declared enemy from the beginning was Byzantines, but he did a big mistake until the end: too many fleets and no armies to land in Italy; how he thought to win? I don’t know.
My game was very utilitarian, after the elimination of the Muslim danger in the Tyrrhenian sea, I went where I could take cities with few effort and proceeded by accumulating ducats. The betrayal of the Pope gave me the occasion to go for the solo win.
Thanks to all again for the fun!
