Italy Unification

[unmerged(18992)]

Well, i now know how to unify Germany, but i also want to know how to Unite Italy. Any ideas?

Firstly, it depends on what choices AI France (or human in MP) makes in certain events. Depending on those choices, either Sardinia-Piedmont, The Two Siciles or Papal States can become Italy.
It's quite unhistorical though, because you need to own Rome, and Italy took Rome after it had formed.

The Birth of Italy event triggers if you own Torino, Rome, Naples and Firenze I think. (Depending on which of the three it is, the capital of the country isn't in the trigger, eg Papal States don't need to control Rome).

Well, then I did something wrong, because its 1902, I own all of Italy but Venice, and my country is still called the Two Sicilies.

If I remember correctly you have to control all Italian capitals. Including provinces that was a capital before, ie if Parma is occupied by let´s say Austria, you will have to grab it from them. Control is enough, you don`t have to own them

If you look in the VFAQ of the New Victoria Manual and Strategy Guide, it gives a brief overview of Italian Unification. I was never clear about the event chain involving France, but there's a good description there of the conquest unification.

Good luck,

I've never seen Two Sicilies do it.

I've done it as Two Sicilies. The unification event triggered during the last war with Sardinia-Piemont when I controlled Torino. Too bad Sardinia's ally france still was a war with me after the unification.

It's quite easy as both two sicilies and sardinia.a little harder for papal.
as two sicilies and sardinia just declear war against modena and you'll be at war with modena,parma,lucca and papal states. annex them all and reduce papal to 1-3 provinces. But don't sattalite them. then just simply wait and dow papal again and you'll be at war with the rest of italy.

piece of cake - shake 'n bake

First for Italian unification u have to control the capitals of practically all the italian nations. Having any of the austrian italian lands is unneccesary. The French intervention relies on a few things. First, for Sardinia you have to have Napoleon III unharmed in the assissination attempt for it to trigger for Sardinia. You have to have Louis Phillipe not fall from power to get it for the Two Sicilies i think and for the Papal States you need to have Napoleon III harmed in the assissination attempt. Once you're in the unification phase, try not to annex the countries so u can gain their inf units when you inherit them.

Awww, I was actually moving towards Italian Unification with Modena. I am kicking ass too. Sardinia-Piedmont is on the ropes, Lucca and Parma and Tuscany are annexed, I own Sardinia and half of Piedmont and I am staring down the Papal States. I am doing quite well for such a small minor.

 

[unmerged(18992)]

Ok Thanks.

Just a sugestion, i think there should be events for all the german and italian states for unification, EG, if one of the states controlles or own all of germany or italy, it would seem obvios to become Italy and Germany. A Italian Nation owning all of italy would logically become italy and same for Germany

Better than Austria at that point.

Modena, Tuscany...ANY ITALIAN NATION should be able to unify Italy. They all had almost equal claims to do so.

Of course, the Big Players (Sardy/Papal/Sicily) should always be the most likely.

How do you unify Italy if you are playing as France and want to "help"?
Everytime I try to control those 6 key regions (Parma, Firenze...) the Italian power I'm allied with cuts a deal with them sequentially before I can control all of them at the same time.

 

[OriginalRafiki]

It doesn't help if you control the key provinces as France;it's your Italian aaly himself that has to control them.

Well that makes it quite a bit more difficult then
Any ideas how to get them to do that effectively? :wacko:

Thanks.

 

[OriginalRafiki]

Not sure how feasable it is, but if you use your ally's provinces to attack from, into the enemies territories, they will get control over them, and if you manage to do this for all the crucial provinces, they might be able to trigger the unification event.

Haven't tested this myself, so I have no idea if it can work or not

[unmerged(5261)]

What do you guys mean by "control"?

Is it to merily occupy the provinces while the war still raging on, or to sign a peace treaty gaining ownership of the provinces in question?
