[edit] Italian Unification Strategies

[edit] Requirements for the unification trigger:

• Primary culture: Lombard.
  
• Have provinces: Firenze, Siena, Ancona, Roma.
  
• Be at peace.
  
• Average fire time: 80 years.
  
• Positive factors:
  
  • Own provinces: Pisa, Modena, Romagna, Ferrara, Mantua, Verona, Abruzzi, Parma, Lombardia, Liguria.
    
  • Have a high centralization.
    
  • Have the Bureaucracy Idea enabled.
    

[edit] Obstacles:

About two months after Roma is captured the Papal State is annexed, an event will trigger that demands the reformation of the independent Papal State. Refusing will reduce your prestige. It will also affect your reputation, although due to a bug, as of 1.1 it actually improves your reputation (i.e., reduces badboy). This event will trigger every two months for the rest of the game until the player agrees to recreate the Papal State. If you want to keep Rome after having refused to the Pope once, quit your game, either remove or modify the papalstate event so you only have to say no once. It's in \events. Have fun playing with Rome.

[edit] Possible countries:

• Savoy
• Milan
• Mantua
• Genoa
• Venice
• Modena
• Tuscany
• Siena

Neither Sicily nor the Papal States can unify Italy due to the culture requirement; Sicily's primary culture is Sicilian and the Papal State's is Umbrian.
