Lombard League Challange (Milan Challenge v2)
LordofAllIceCream had a great idea, a Milan challenge. Since it's May it's very timely.
At the end of May in Legnano Italy they hold a celebration of the victory of the Lombard League (Milan, Genoa, Venice & Bologne in our case) over the HRE. You can actually check out past celebrations on youtube
So the challenge is this - by the 31st of May conquering and holding ONLY those 4 territories get an alliance with the pope and get victory over the HRE (maybe donate their territories to the pope) Ok not super historical but close enough.
Rules:
Play on Very Hard difficulty
A Caroccio standard must travel with each army.
Post if you've accomplished it and how many turns it took and you will be declared Hero of Lombardy. Maybe the mods can make a badge if it's cool.
