Re: anyone experience with Venice??
i haven't played any italian states yet. but this sounds spot on SSHIP, your fortunes change wildly each year. you could be on the brink of death, in 3 years you could be on top of the world. don't be too comfortable when things are going good, play like you're about to die. only advice i have is try to get more spies? sucks that agents are tied to number of cities. full serbian army showing up on your doorstep means there was a lack of spy intel.
you need to focus on either beating Pisa or fending off the ERE. how are your papal relations? i'm sure the ERE attacking christians puts them at odds with the pope. maybe you can focus on Pisa, give up on Ancona for now, and get a crusade on Ancona. even if Ancona isn't the target city, you can still set up a crusade army and hit Ancona to take it back

Re: anyone experience with Venice??
yes, it was going all well untill serbia and ERE decided to expand into my republic. yes indideed I didn't have spies there at the border in the east with serbia .I just didn't expect it from them because I just got trade rights with them. What do you mean ERE at odds with the pope? the ERE is orthodox so the pope doesn't care about them, they can do what they want right? and my papal relations are too bad to call a crusade.. but yes ancona is not my priority right now.

Re: anyone experience with Venice??
louigi, i figured if ERE is attacking christians, it would bother the pope. have you noticed when crusades get called, sometimes it'll be an orthodox city, most of the time it'll be islam? but i don't think the papal states is directly at war with the crusade target before calling it. so i think the pope can target ERE for a crusade, even if they're not at war with each other, because the pope doesn't like them. i'm GUESSING
