Court of the Medici
Welcome to the court of Cosimo I de' Medici where House Gonzaga and House Della Rovere compete for the friendship of the Grand Duke of Tuscany. As leader of your house you must dispatch nobles to the Court of the Medici to curry favor with the Grand Duke if you hope to win his support. By directing the nobles from your house to form alliances and execute conspiracies you can build up your influence at court and eliminate those nobles who are loyal to your rival. Once you gain control of the whole court you can then strike down the Grand Duke's Inner Circle and force Cosimo to listen to you alone.
