    Sadly, I agree which is quite ironic considering that the Medici family, the banker family of its time, esssentially controlled the city and that the Renaissance started there

    Florence?

    Why, it's only the most important province in the whole wide world for the Milanese/Venetians/HRE. Ah well I suppose you can live without it. But I do think it needs to be a larger city with upgrades.

    Read my signature line and consider my subtle proposal.

    its absolutely not though. why would any of them want to use up forces and stretch their defence in taking florence when instead they can directly damage a deadly rival? in my current campaign as hre i finally took florence but only after every other italian city (except rome) even palermo for crying out loud! your right though it would help if it was larger and easier to upgrade quickly especially when you consider its prominent role in history.

    Anywhere to the east. Most of Russia and the Arab world (particularly around Egypt) are horrible. This is true of all campaigns where they're included (grand campaign, crusades, teutonic). It takes ages and ages to get to any action, and I quickly tire of having to use a force of troops to sweep through them all if they're rebel (or even if they belong to a foreigner, since they gain very little from owning them).

    In the Americas campaign, don't even get me started on the North. Especially with that horrible bug that means you can only set one turn's movement at a time rather than clicking on the final destination and letting the agent/general make his way there unaided...bloody infuriating.

    But yes. Essentially, anywhere east of Byzantium is horrible in terms of distance to the nearest other settlement. And I hate it. :p

    It is one of the "big 5" moneymakers in northern Italy. If you're going to hold 4, might as well hold all of them.

    Actually it doesn't seem like a bug to me. You have to do that to take Timbuktu and the coastal city (Arguin?). Think of it as you are the first person to explore there from the civilized world, and nobody has even MAPPED it yet! Its not like normal fog of war where there are at least maps to show you the way, its a region on the map that no one from Europe or the Middle East has ever been to yet.
