Doges might rule for life, but when they die there is an election where the next Doge is selected from among the five great Patrician families the Lucchese, the Bonnanno, the Gambino. Republics are also subject to the new Embargo Casus Belli, which can be used against them by external powers in order to destroy their trade posts for an instant sum of money, representing seized assets.Ĭan your dynasty be "elected out" of power, like the Elective succession system in the existing game? How do you go about preventing this?

HF: There is no change to the religion mechanics for republics, but Patricians do have access to some additional Casus Bellis: they can seize trade posts from rivals, they can take coastal cities from anyone in order to support their trade posts, and they can take entire coastal provinces if they already have a city there.

How do religion and Casus Belli operate for republics?
