I intended to write this guide for beginners, but really it’s going to be for beginner-to-intermediate level players. I will divide this guide into Phase I, II and III, with each phase subdivided into conquest and diplomacy and a separate Milan or Italy specific game mechanics section in the end. Main Impediment early game- Aggressive Expansion And you are looking at a world super power from fairly early years. Combine that with the monarch point generation of the Ambrosian republic. Along with that you have two end trade nodes next to you, Venice and Genoa, which means you aren’t really going to have economic problems at any point. Your capital of Milan is also one of the most developed provinces at start and after a few events it becomes a province with the most development.
Milan starts in one of the highest developed area of Northern Italy in game.
