Trying to eventually form Papal states, so starting game off as normal (withdrawing from Africa, humiliation, etc.) Before going down monarch path, I am starting a ware with Albania/England and capitulating the British. After the peace conference, the balance of power (which was about 40& towards the Council) goes entirely towards Mussolini. Then, even after taking Monarchy path, the balance stays where it was (substitute Victor for Mussolini.) Needless to say, this severely slows down the ability to get another power for the Pope to take over and open hidden focus.
Is this working as intended? Does the victory over England automatically swing balance back to Mussolini? Do I need to wait until the Pope has taken over before working on taking out England/France?
TIA
