Playing as the Holy Roman Empire on Hard every time I try to play defensively I manage to go to war with most of the world by trying to be peaceful. All my allies side with the first invader who attacks me then one by one they join in for the fun. Why don't my allies side with me. Why do I get warnings from the pope when I try to take back my provinces while they get in no trouble for taking mine. Why do they all hate me so much?
So then I decide to be daring. I rush the Italians on the first turn. But I can't knock them of the continent before I am excommunicated and whalla everyone hates me again and all of the HRE wants to revolt. Is there a way to beat the Italina from the continent before excommunication? I can get so close by never quite make it.
