My single player Italy campaign is faring quite well. It's nearing 1200 and I've managed to dominiate the seas for plenty of maritime trade income, which has allowed me to build huge armies and battle the Muslim factions quite successfully.
Italy's unique troops are quite effective. I've been mass building Italian Light Infantry and Genovese Archers and they seem very effective in leapfroging lines as they advance. With a tradititional "line of engagement" they can work well either in center (where they will be able to turn back a calvary charge) or to the flanks.
Although it hasn't happened yet, I'm pretty sure that Italian Light Infantry will get wrecked by other heavy infantry. What sort of things should I be watching out for?
