Fall 1058
Deadline/End of Game Statements 12/5 Tuesday
Careless financial management leaves Pisa at the Mercy of the Pope, the Muslims, and Venice. Byzantium cannot break out of its cage, and Venice's more careful financial management earns him the victory!
Summer 1058 Retreats
Pisa retreats A Perugia OTB (NRR)
Expenditures
Venice pays 18 ducats to the moneylenders, then takes out a loan of 12 ducats for 2 years (18 ducats due Fall 1060). Spends 12 ducats to disband Pisa A Milan.
Pisa fails to repay his loan and is assassinated. All units must hold, and no more loans may be taken out from the moneylenders. Rebellions in Turin, Como, Fornova, Parma, Cremona, Bergamo, Trent, Pistoia, Piombino, and Arezzo.
