The defensiveness bonus is very appropriate. Traditionally, fortresses on the western side of the Alps have always been massive, and French always had to struggle a lot to siege them.
The problem is that sieges of strong fortresses in the EU series are way too easy.

I bet we may still see appear a highly mastered piece of rhetoric, something like that:
Then three more pages of posts, only to determine if that would be a response to this facepalm, the demo of even the simple thought he could answer this post. :rofl:
Several Italian nations (Venice, Genoa, Milan, Naples & Savoy) have their own ideagroups, and forming Italy gives a unique ideagroup as well.
Savoy
They start with +2 more diplomatic relations, and 25% quicker decay of bad relations.
- Repel the French: +25% Defensiveness
- The Shroud of Turin: Papal Influence +1, Prestige +0.5
- Mercenary Tradition: 25% Cheaper Mercenaries
- Crush the Vaudois: +3 Missionary Strength.
- Savoyard Flexibility: 10% cheaper ideas.
- Alpine Tolls: 10% Stronger Mercantilism
- Savoyard Legitimacy: +1 Yearly Legitimacy
When fully powered up, they get +10% Tax Income.
You read in my mind!
I hope also an interesting restyle of the "Sardinia-Piedmont" decision
Wow, specific NIs for italian minors? Great! Like the defensiveness bonus, will make them more interesting to conquer as France...
Now I'm hoping for Wallachia. I suppose Vlad Tepes will be in, but a NI related to impaling would be funny

No, those are specific to Savoya, not Italian minors: Savoy

It's kinda obvious when you read the ideas.
edit: My half-romanian blood can't wait to know too if Wallachia and Moldavia will have any particular NI
At least a common group for romanian culture I hope
That's what I meant, sorry if it was unclear.
I hope that at least part of the Balkans and Romania have been more fleshed out since Quill's version, given their importance in Europe conflicts against the Ottomans. And who wouldn't want to rule a Transylvanian Empire? Well, I guess you could export a CKII save with Carpathia... but then probably won't have the all-mighty Ottomans to face.
Savoyards started out as essentially bandits who collected tolls on the Alpine passes. Its an important part of Savoy's history but its really an early medieval part that should not be 5th out of 7 in a renaissance set game. It should be their starting or first idea.
Savoy didn't have many of its own merchants, but it was a crossroads that depended on foreign merchants and pilgrims for its income. I don't know what a 'mercantalism bonus' does but hopefully its something that will help Savoy make money from trade between Italy and Germany.

Yeah, I thought that too, I think Wallacchia is a good candidate for that.
In the east there is also Serbia that could be interesting.
