All of the venetian's efforts have been ruined by the sudden victory of that autocrat Antonius De'Ricci. The patrician knows clearly that there is now not a single possibility of him getting his hand on the city, but that certainly does not stop him from starting to adopt a hate towards that man seating inside the high castle of Thessaloniki Antonius De'Ricci. Everyone knows that the Venetians are almost invincible on the seas, but in fact the Venetians would prevail from using force for most of the times to achieve their political goals in the fear that it might injure their already overstretched fleet in every part of the Mediterranean, instead they often use another weapon.

Economical strangling.
