because everybody identifies with incas

but seriously though, nobody I know who is italian and plays AoE cared about the italian civ, because few really care about stuff like playing with their own nationality. They should of added something modern italians would really care about, e.g. some remnant of the late WRE.

Actually most patriotic italians who play aoe have always favoured the Byzantines in this and many other strategy games and will never play a mediocre faction with units so obviously potrayed like Northern Comuni's (the cross on a white field of the Condottiero is a symbol present in almost all the northern cities in some form, mostly in red or black, or blue at times; whilst the genoese Xbowman needs no explanation). The campaign itself says it all, the Sforza were a prominent Milanese family. The architecture in the game is various but mostly picks elements of mixed romanic and gothic arch. styles. (common in n. italy's comuni at that time).
