Trivia

• In the game, Forlì is located West of Florence whereas in the real life, it is actually situated North-East).
• Caterina Sforza who will be in the game was Countess of Forlì (from 1480 until 1500), and her legendary episode will be as well in the game: in 1488, her husband and Lord of Forlì (and Imola), Girolamo Riario was assassinated in a conspiracy led by the Orsis, a noble family of the city. She and her children were made prisoners. Since the fortress of Ravaldino, a citadel of strategic importance to the defense of the city, refused to surrender, Caterina offered to go to convince the castellan, Tommaso Feo. The Orsinis believed the good intentions of Caterina because she left her children as hostages, but once inside she let loose a barrage of threats and promises of vengeance against her former captors and when they threatened to kill her children still in captivity she exposed her genitals from the fortress walls saying: "Ho con me lo stampo per farne degli altri!" (I have the instrument to bear more!). This last part is without historical veracity but it is said to be featured in the game.
