Either Economic or Quality

Espionage

I misread it; we can't take an idea group yet.

We need to figure out if we want to lower army maintenance or go to war right away. Or if we should build something

You want to protect your empire, don't you OP?

>>1165080

>>1165045

We going >H>R>E route?

>>1165084
We've allied with Poland, Saxony,Bavaria, and Lucca

Also, should of married Bohemia and Hungary, but not allied them (at least not Bohemia) so you can claim their thrones.

Our economy is -$7/month, who do we war on? 40k Troops are ready to go.

Venice get all that trade gold, just worry about the italian states we don't need the Greek or Balkan holdings

Marry Bohemia and Hungary, hope for good luck in the events for free unions. Or else wait for them to get same dynasty with weak or no heir then claim their throne and war them for it. Continue to monitor the banner that shows countries with weak/no heirs and marry them into submission like a good Von Habsburg.

Then move to annex all the shitlings in Northern Italy, but vassalize the pope. Rein in the Shadow Kingdom then release him, its agony trying to keep rome as non-popeman.

I fucked up on ironman.
