Signoria v 0.5

I thought I amuse myself a little and I produce a new game a bit more interesting that what’s out there at the moment.

The basic idea is that I want to be in florence at the time of Macchiavelli and deal with the problems and the challenges of a multi polar world. We have internal enemies and external enemies - and allies - and we need to make decisions for our own good to keep the city afloat … even if sometimes are not always palatable for everyone .. This is a very early version of the game still needs improving both in graphics and in strategy. Lets see where this brings us - for now can only be played online :

We have Three levels (for now) :

Florence - where one thinks just about the city and to fulfill a number of KPIs through decrees (make sure there is enough grain, etc)
Tuscany - where we need to think about NOT ONLY Florence but the whole region - make alliances , treaties etc
Italy where in addition to the local politics we need to move in the more global world with the other nations - let them pass by with their armies, lend them money, influence their policy

Lets see how this will develop
