How can I form the Kingdom of Italy?
by Norrefeldt
Formation of Kingdom of Italy is possible only if corresponding option is chosen.
There are three roads to forming the Kingdom of Italy. Only available for Savoy, Tuscany, Milan, Modena, Parma and Mantua.
The Guelf option
This path imagines a situation where a considerable force forms in the KoI that is politically tied to the papacy (or a member, so to speak, of the guelf faction). The pope, seeing a way to reduce the emperor's influence in Italy and therefore upon himself, decides that he will simply proclaim that this candidate is the rightful king of Italy.
Prerequisites:
principality, i.e. savoy, tuscany, milan, modena, mantua or parma as duchy
owns 5 provinces in the KoI (KoI is defined as piemonte, lombardia, firenze, siena, mantua, romagna and emilia), must include Lombardia. Piemonte is a mandatory for Savoy.
pope's relationship w/ candidate state + 190
max badboy 3
stability 3
alliance b/tw candidate state and Papal States
not a vassal of Austria or the Papal States
Papal States not a vassal of the candidate
religion catholic or counterreform
not at war
before Edict of Tolerance (1658-1660)
The Ghibelline option
This path imagines a situation where an large force in KoI emerges that is part of the ghibelline, or pro-imperial, faction. The emperor (Austria is always considered emperor here), seeing a way to vicariously increase his influence in Italy and strengthen his position vis-a-vis the Pope, decides to hand the crown to the candidate state (as had happened in medieval times).
Prerequisites:
principality, i.e. savoy, tuscany, milan, modena, mantua or parma as duchy
owns 5 provinces in the KoI (KoI is defined as piemonte, lombardia, firenze, siena, mantua, romagna and emilia), must include Lombardia. Piemonte is a mandatory for Savoy.

Prerequisites:

Important: For those who forgot to select Kingdom of Italy option before starting a game...
(and don't understand why the kingdom doesn't form when all conditions are fulfilled...)
Open your savefile with a text editor and add:
event = "AGCEEP\Events\AGCEEP_Alt_Italy.eue"
on the same line where all other 'event =' directives are located.
Don't forget to make a backup of your savefile first, just in case.
What you get
You get cores on Piemonte, Lombardia, Firenze, Siena, Mantua, Emilia and Romagna. You get the leaders from the original state and Milan, but retain the original monarchs.
Finally, you get plausible events of the country that formed Italy and some province specific events.
