You mean you lost the odd army from failed sea-borne invasions? (gulp!)
Well done for trying though.

The trouble is that, once stuck there, they are totally crippled from doing anything. No fleet to get them off the island and insufficient strength - in spite of katankness - to guarantee invasion success in the first place. Furthermore, no prospect of developing their way out of the financial hole caused by the maintainance costs of half a dozen kat units being bout 4 times what the island can produce, even at +40% farms, or better.

A mod giving Rhodes a tradable might help some but what's it to be - holiday timeshares are not exactly of the period.

Anything historically accurate they could sell? Saltfish? Wine maybe?
