Weird situation in IGC 1.07c

[Griffon]

Hi Hartmann and Doomdark,

great scenarios BTW. I trully enjoy and appreciate your work. One thing I notice though (and it is very very small). when you start the 'any country' scenario has Genoa (very cool BTW), if you pause it right at the begining, the number of merchants indicates 10. Now, I know you can only store six, but still, it says 10.

So I'm thinking woohoo!!! Trade galore!!! Ah, but wait, as soon as you assign 1 merchant, the total drops to 5 (6 minus the one you just assigned). This seem right. I was just pointing it out bacuase I thought it might influence other things in gameplay and wanted to make sure.

Cheers

P.S. Also, are there any countries that you just can't vassalize regardless of diplomatic ties? (i.e. Venice, the knights?)

U need a RM to vassalise and u can't get those with soem countries like the Papal states. I've seen Venice get vassalised though.

Thanks BiB,

I know that, but in the Board Game, apparently, some countries just couldn't get vassalized, even if you had all the 'conditions' I was just wondering if the same applied to the CG. I played has the Papal States and I could get into RMs, so I'm assuming that the inability of the Papal States to marry is now long gone and defunct.

Hi Griffon! Thanx for pointing that merchant thingy out, I will have a look at it soon (even if it does no harm). Teutons and Venice can be vassalized, Papal States not. But in case YOU play the Papal states, You can go for royal marriages - it´s just the AI, which doesn´t and will always decline.
