A Comnenian Restoration Poll: The Question of Venice

[OverKnight]

If Venice is taken, should the Empire occupy or exterminate the city?

This is your chance to influence the course of (fictional) history in the Comnenian Restoration AAR (https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showthread.php?t=88477)

Feel free to post with the reasoning behind your vote.

I didn't vote cause I think that you should do what ever is practical, and fits in game. If it has a high population and public order issues, then exterminate, If it was a tough battle with Venice really putting a hurting on your general or taking out a large part of your forces then exterminate. If not then don't.

BTW, it's a really awesome AAR so far, I'm hoping that you'll see it through all the way to a full Roman restoration.

Venice is a rich city, if you keep it intact and orderly you will rapidly earn far more reward from occupying it than exterminating it. It addition, it sits in a highly defensible position and makes a good border town.

[OverKnight]

Well the Venetians just sallied out unexpectedly (Their overconfidence is their weakness!) so we'll see what happens in the next report.

[Stuperman]

I wonder what is gonna happen to thier crusading army, rebel or disband?

[OverKnight]

Good question, I think rebel, but I'll look into it.

Venice is to good a city to harm, occupy it and garrison it.
