The final score of Luciano the First
Luciano the First of Italy, Luciano the Liberator, Luciano the Engineer. The Unifier of Italy, THe Wunderkind, Friend to the Germans, Friend to the English. The Reforger of the World.
Legacy Points: 6,604,042 (You are among the most important men in all of Human History, and certainly one of the most important secular figures of the last thousand years, for your impact on society, science, engineering, commerce, and social progress. A Genius without peers, some consider him the foremost engineer of all of human history, and until the modern invention of Flight, the greatest proponent of human movement in History. Politically, you are considered, though falsely, the First constitutional Monarch. Your rule, and trust of the governed, made you a popular sovereign, and introduced and spread, the idea of popular sovereignty in Europe.)
When Luciano Grazini was born in 1500, no one knew just what that boy would accomplish in his 70 years of life. That much many of you have read in his stories. But it is his later reign, where he did not accomplish nearly as much, save for two crucial aspects.
The invention of the Cartridge, which would revolutionize industrial warfare for the horrific, and the State-sponsored decree of ending the Global slave trade, and the abolition of the former slaves. Now many of the targets of the Italian slave trade were in Africa, where the Slave Kingdoms and Ottomans gathered their chattel.
And it would be where the Italian Navy would earn the Name, the Sourge of Africa. For there was nothing that was so deadly, as a ship that flew an Italian Flag… because that meant, all that saw, all they knew would die.
Many African kingdoms, from West Africa To Kongo… were destroyed, and razed to the ground without hesitation for their practice of human chattel as the only pretext for it. Against orders one must be aware, that each expedition was not allowed to conduct diplomacy, or make moves that would be considered as such.
But to the captains, commodores, and admirals that saw the great slave markets of Africa… all they saw, would push them further into Christian fury, the fury of the Old Testament God, to proselytize those they rescued, and to rip apart civilizations that existed for thousands of years by the roots.
They succeeded beyond their wildest dreams and imaginations… all while creating a new world behind them.
Hundreds of thousands would die, and the newly Christian kingdoms, free of the slavery systems that had been there for centuries, were forced to change.
Some fell into anarchy, and could not survive, they would soon become easy conquests to the Portuguese, Dutch, and French Empires.
Many more, most notably in Congo, would become one of the richest and most powerful nations in Africa, and would gain an incredibly close friendship with the Italians going into the 20th century.
Luciano's rebuilding of Italy and Rome itself would mark the beginning of the Italian Golden Age, which lasted for almost two hundred years before much of the rest of the world finally caught up to his genius and his good relations with the Papacy, would see them sponsor many works of art, architecture and public works. In fact, by the modern day, the church's footprint on Rome, would be indescribable. And much of the city would owe its water supply to Luciano.
Lucaino's most notable Legal contribution, was his submission to the Senate's authority to Tax his lands, and his personal holdings, setting the precedent for the King to be subject to the Senate's authority for Taxation.
Later monarchs would try to weasel out of it, mostly to supplement lavish and decadent lifestyles that were unbecoming of Italian kings who were known by reputation to be modest, honorable, and even ascetic to the ideal of luxury, as their forebearer Luciano would set precedent for. But it would later finally come to a crisis in the 1880s when it was finally proclaimed that the Royal Family would no longer collect incomes from their personal property, instead getting a set stipend from the Italian Senate.
His greatest technological contribution would be the Steam Turbine, which, until the invention of the internal combustion engine, would be the sole source of power for many nations.
Many consider his most prized ideas, called the Book of Engineers by modern scholars, would be studied for centuries, and many of his inventions would never be produced. Many consider what he created, so far beyond his time, that no one knew if anything in it could be created.
AN: Luciano is considered the finest monarch, and most important human being on the secular side, in Human history.
only Ghengis Khan, Jesus, The Prophet Muhammad and Qin Shi Huang have higher legacy scores then him.
THe End. and thanks for reading.
