naples stinks, because once you are free (aragon/castille/portugal permalliance will hate you), you have to blast your way into the HRE to really do anything in Italy. or fight the ottomans (and lose). or kill the pope, aka no one will like you.
Yeah, my main objective is forming Italy and Naples seemed to be the go-to country to pull it off but now I'm skeptical. I'll burn through a few restarts and see if get lucky at all.
