The League of Italian States (or the minor nations becoming major powers thread)

Just so you know it is my understanding that as (Malta) an island nation trade ports outside of your island won't increase trade potential

I'm in the 1750's, about 200 something turns in with the Papal States. I have all of Italy, Venice, Corsica, New Mexico and Michigan territory. I bought Jerusualem from the Muguals but the Ottomans didn't like that move so they declared war on me and will probablly take back my 200,000 gold investment. I'm probably going to have to build up an army in Italy and launch a "crusade" to take it back

I used to have TX but sold it to Spain. I also briefly had another part of Iroquoi territory which name escapes me, I took that from the English when they declared an unprovoked war on me. I ended up giving it to Mexico for free since they had just emerged and I wanted a neutral nation between me and England. The US had emerged after the broke free from the French who captured PA less than two years ago. I plan to take VA from the English and give it to the US either for free or a price. I'm hoping the English make peace with me soon after they realize it was a mistake declaring war on me in the Americas!

Trade routes by sea are limited to how many ports your Capitol is linked to by land. So as the Knights of St. John, you have the one port...It annoyed me greatly as well.

perhaps i can coerce someone into taking my capital?.........probly not.....sigh.....stupid a.i...............



anyways, i'll just immediately start researching port techs and building trading ports i guess then.
