Italy and BB

[swilhelm73]

Just united Italy and I got something like 24 BB. Now this is less then what Germany would get, of course, but then again Italy was never the threat to the European balance of power Germany was either.

Is this a realistic BB amount? Or should the Italian Unification event have a BB reduction much like the conservative empire event?

Most likely, perhaps you can get Darkrenown or one of his disciples to take a stab at it?

Disciples? I wish! I have to do all my modding my myself

Anyway, looking at Italy in a recent VIP game they form with ~18 BB, so you could play VIP (Yeah, the VIP team have me working on comission) or you could add a line like "command = { type = badboy value = -10 }" to the Birth of Italy event, like so:

#########################################################################
#  The Birth of Italy
#########################################################################
event = {
	id = 5804
	random = no
	country = SAR

	trigger = {
#		event = 5801
		control = { province = 737 data = SAR } # Naples
		control = { province = 840 data = SAR } # Parma
		control = { province = 841 data = SAR } # Modena
		control = { province = 843 data = SAR } # Massa/Lucca
		control = { province = 846 data = SAR } # Firenze
		control = { province = 855 data = SAR } # Roma
	}

	name = "EVT_5703_NAME"
	desc = "EVT_5703_DESC"
	style = 0

	date = { day = 1 month = january year = 1836 }
	offset = 30
	deathdate = { day = 30 month = december year = 1920 }

	action_a = {
		name = "ACTIONNAME5703A" # Viva Italia!
		command = { type = inherit which = SIC }
		command = { type = inherit which = PAP }
		command = { type = inherit which = LOM }
		command = { type = inherit which = LUC }
		command = { type = inherit which = VEN }
		command = { type = inherit which = MOD }
		command = { type = inherit which = TUS }
		command = { type = inherit which = PAR }
		command = { type = country which = ITA }
               [b] command = { type = badboy value = -10 } [/b]
	}
}

er, if you play totally Historical Germany then you get BB 48+. Which is way higher than that measly BB rating quoted early for Italy in this thread.

Even a Prussia that takes a few minors, like Hannover, will have BB 38-42 after the Three Hurrahs.

So, I'd say BB 24 is vewy woh

Well that's why I made my unification mod (yes, I know you don't like mods). And remember, Italy is likely to have less of a military than Germany, so lower BB can plunge them into BB wars, although 24ish should be safe.

Well, I'd already taken a few Italian provinces. Probably would have been 30 BB if I didn't.
