This Is The BEST Nation To Unite Italy With In EU4 [Guide]

Hope you liked the guide and have fun trying it out!

When you get radical reform, you can manually fire the advisors (while the pop up is still there) and re hire the advisors after getting the mana:))

I formed Italy in 1533.

best nation to form italy is obviously montferrato

Should have deleted the Fort in Milano. Saves you 12 ducats every year

if you feel like restarting with milan then waiting for the generic estate mission to conquer genoa allows you to declare war on it in december and that speeds up the whole process.... sure its random but its like the first button you can press so easy restart

Tip for when they ask you to kick out advisors for mana points: you can kick them out yourself, then click the evening and re-employ them again. Same thing if they ask you in any event to kick/kill advisor.

I woud argue that Salutzzo is better to form italy , cos of OP ideas, can have like 90% AE for 15 years

Tip for the Radical Reforms event, if you want to keep the advisors just sack them from their position but don't fire them from your court, and after clicking the mana option that fires them, you can put them back in their positions.

I played forming Italy as Venice. It is easier, faster and you can even get your hands on Ottoman lands and absolutely crush them if you vassalize Byzantium right at the start.

In English you don't pronounce the R in iron. Great video though!

Try 1v1 with Ottomans

I personally prefer doing Italy as Saluzzo. It's a rougher start (you can only expand into Savoy or Provence, which usually means waiting and begging for France and Austria to be busy) but once you get rolling, that +10 infantry combat ability and the -15% AE impact makes a BIG difference. Can even for Sardinia-Piedmont naturally, as Saluzzo is Piedmontese in 1444. Strongly recommend keeping Saluzzan ideas the whole time though, as they are on par with end tag Italy's.

Savoy is the only answer considering the buffs the mission tree gives

If you're trying to avoid the Ambrosia Republic as Milan, just introduce heir at the start of the game before you send out any alliances/RMs. Hopefully you'll get a high-quality heir that's about 10 or so. And you don't have to worry nearly so much about your ruler staying alive for so long.

Liked because of editing. Subscribed because of the commentary

it's florence, not milan. Deal with it boy.

You can do Alpine fortifications with Milan which is much easier than with Sardinia-Piedmont and you can get it much earlier. Also having lvl 4 mountain forts protecting your country in 1480 is really strong.

thanks for showing me how to be less awful at the game <3 and I'd love to see more of this campaign

Great to see that someone else is really enjoying innovation + quality ideas. The infantry combat ability is just great. Also, what's very overlooked, is stacking advisor cost reduction, starting with innovative ideas. If you do it right, you can just have +3 advisors in all slots all game long.

it took so long 2 you to unify Italy wtf? Man . next time take saluzzo , try influence idea event proc for -20% ae , and then espionage+adm idea. Roman empire before 1520 with 0 coalition bcz -70-90% AE. This video and what you do not even close to be good.

Part of the boot under Ottoman control? You need another video to fix that Florius. Also another video for a Marenostrom... and another after that for a Roman Empire revival.

I disagree that Milan the"BEST Nation To Unite Italy With" in my option that title goes to Saluzzo whilst small they pack a of a punch with 10% infantry combat ability as well as −15% Aggressive expansion impact! which new player will enjoy painting with and the good ideas do not stop coming with +10% Goods produced modifier, +10% Morale of armies and more. I also find often in this new patch find get France as early friend not to hard to get as they often unallying provinces allowing you to ally them and then use them to help you eat Savoy which give the strength need then kill Milan in there disaster and from there you just snowball and form Sardinia whilst keep Saluzzo god ideas with out wasting points switching cultures. you can get that OP modifier and pu Frances before forming Italy and than next to is the Rome Empire. my recommendation is to try and stack as much aggressive expiation reduction as you can get it to the point where can have like -65% allowing you to pain the map with little to no worries about AE. the only thing better about Milan is that they are a republic early and are big.

Great campaign... but need to see Ottomans beaten out of Italy :).

Austrians trying to dominate Italy...where have I seen that before?

Nicely done! What's the next goal? Booting (heh) the Ottomans from the south?

I heard somewhere that you can easily vassalize Savoy very early if the Pope excommunicates them near the beginning and you can take them as a vassal without generating a huge coalition. Not sure if it's true or not or if it's actually worth it since you’d still have to wait a bit before doing anything else for the still large amount of ae to go down, and again it's rng if the pope actually excommunicates them or not, I’ve never tested it myself.

Mama Mia!!! What a good guide!

Military dictatorship does not turn into a monarchy when the ruler dies. it randomly elects a general when the current ruler dies. You were thinking of the presidential dictatorship.

Yeah, the Milan guide !

mamamia Florius, it was a good video
