- At the turn of the millenium,
the maritime city-states of Amalfi and Pisa monopolize trade
with the Far East. Their superiority however is being declined
due to the increasing competition of two new extremely aggressive
rivals: Venice and Genoa. Yet still naval domination of the Sea
Republics is unquestioned and each one of them tries to monopolize
the East Route. The gate to the East is Byzantium.
