I love Minsc, but I don't think it's fair to say that only Sarevok surpasses him- Korgan is just as good a fighter, possibly better, and only gets the short shaft from fans because he's tempermentally unsuited to most parties. [[User:Stilgar135|Stilgar135]] 22:17, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

"Minsc is the strongest joinable warrior in both games"

Udine was the historical starting point for a route over the Saifnitz or Pontebba Pass to [[Villach]] by way of Pontebba and Tarvisio. It lay on the Roman road the Via Julia Augusta, but there is no sign of Roman occupation. Founded in 983, after the decadence of [[Aquileia]] (one of the most important cities of the [[Roman Empire]]) and [[Forum Julii]], Udine became important for commerce, and was for 4 centuries capital of [[Patriarcato di Aquileia]]. In the 1230s the seat of the patriarchate of [[Aquileia]] was transferred to Udine, giving its [[Romanesque]] cathedral new prominence. In [[1420]] Udine became part of Venetian territory until 1897, when Napoleone yielded the [[Serenissima]] to Austria. The old residence of the patriarchs of Aquileia was erected by [[Giovanni Fontana]] in [[1517]] in place of the older one destroyed by an earthquake in [[1511]]. Under the Austrians it was used as a prison. In the cathedral archives was formerly preserved a recast of the [[Visigoth]]ic code of laws in a manuscript known as the ''Codex Utinensis'', which was fortunately printed before it was lost. (See [[Breviary of Alaric]]). Udine was annexed from the [[Reign of Italy]] in 1866.

Isn't Minsc a Ranger?

Udine has a university. The archbishop's [[palace]] and the Museo Civico have quite important paintings.

The city has also a theather, the Teatro Giovanni da Udine.

With a hamster yes. But with the way he acts, its a mix between Warrion/Fighter, paladin(doing hid own good, a good rebel)and ranger, with abilities.

A Ranger is a type of warrior. [[User:Pyromaniac589|Pyromaniac589]] 20:30, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

In the 1550s [[Andrea Palladio]] erected some buildings in Udine. The church of S.Maria della Purita has 18th-century frescoes by [[Giovanni Battista Tiepolo]] and his son Domenico. In the principal square (Piazza della Libertà) stands the town hall (Loggia di Lionello) built in 1448-1457 in the Venetian-Gothic style opposite a clock tower (Torre dell’Orologio) resembling that of the [[Piazza San Marco]] at [[Venice]].

== PC vs NPC ==

Minsc is '''not''' a non-playable character since not only can he join the group but he is also fully under the control of the player. This should be changed in the article. See [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Player_character wikipedia's article] [[User:Bragador|Bragador]] 15:52, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

The center of Udine is dominated by the Castello di Udine, built by the Venetians. In the castle there is one of the most ancient hall of parliament of Europe. Traditionally, the hill where the castle is located was built on the ruins caused by [[Hun]]s invasions.

== Sarevok spoiler? ==

The [[Treaty of Campo Formio]] ([[1796]]) was signed in [[Campoformido]], a village that lies about 4 miles west of Udine.

It might be a borderline-case, but shouldn't Sarevoks appearence in Baldur's Gate 2 (and especially that he can join your party) be marked as a spoiler? It's in the "Powers"-section. <blockquote>''Minsc is the strongest joinable warrior in both games (Strength 18/93) until the Baldurs Gate II addon Throne of Bhaal that introduced Sarevok (Strength 18/00) (...)''</blockquote> -- [[User:Anissen|Anissen]] 12:22, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

Udine is important for commerce, the are several comerciale centers in the hinterland. There are also industries of iron and mechanical industries.

== SportVin Moosk and Boo ==

The local [[football (soccer)|football]] club is called [[Udinese Calcio]], founded in 1896, and plays in the highest Italian league (''[[Serie A]]'').

You don't suppose that when there is another episodes of [[Kids Next Door]] featuring Moosk, that Boo may make a Cameo/homage role? After all there Are hamsters in the show and Moosk is very much like Minsc. Even the name is a slight anagram.

See also [[Giovanni Martini da Udine]], the High Renaissance architect who worked in Rome and was a pupil of [[Raffaello Santi|Raphael]].
