I don't know much Italian history, but I suspect that it was generally wise to be a good friend of Cesare Borgia.
Indeed. But even to be his ally is simply to be a tool, perhaps. I read just today about how Borgia had hired a certain man to administrate a city for him. This man was very cruel, but the city was quickly set from chaos to order by his swift elimination of criminals and rebels.Ivan the Awesome said:
However, the people soon hated him for how he cruelly treated them. Messer Borgia foresaw that the populace was likely to revolt soon. He thus had this cruel administrator which he had hired, executed in brutal fashion, and his body displayed in the town square for all to see. The populace's anger was replaced by shock, and the town remained loyal.

Thats really quite devious and brilliant. I like it. Docm, any chance we can do that in the game? 
Seriously though, you get the best of both worlds. All the benefits of brutal repression, but the population still likes you!

Having the crowd like you or fear you are entirely different things, nonetheless essential to running a government/empire. I forgot who said this, but it builds on what I said, "I do not care if they like me, so long as they fear me."

Right, it's Caligula. I was drawing a blank.
I've long wanted to ask this, who's the bloody chap on your avatar Bluehawk?
It's Prince Bolkonsky from War and Peace.
Speaking of War and Peace, what did u guys think of the 2007 miniseries, I thought it sucked to be honest but what do u guys think.
Yes it did.TheOrest007 said:

To be honest I liked it. But maybe that just goes to show what an uncultured swine I am. I havent seen the soviet one yet, though I plan to, so maybe thats why.TheOrest007 said:
