4:08 I believe Austria has been at least suggestively coded to rival Milan in this patch, especially if Milan is a player nation. I believe this may be to help simulate the conflicts that occurred in Northern Italy between Austria and France during the early stages of the game that basically set the stage for the historical rivalry between the two nations that would lead to France joining the Protestants during the Thirty Years War. 5:48 A big problem with the Milanese mission tree is that so many of the buffs are temporary, and they don't even really last that long, and some of them aren't even that good. Additionally, the Mission Tree doesn't flow well at all. It wants you to fight Genoa and Venice ASAP and that can be a real problem because both of those nations are reasonably difficult to deal with early game, especially Venice who WILL fucking merc up and hire Condottiere from your rivals, especially Austria and France. 6:56 The disaster can still fire if you get a regency council later. I think it can fire up until the Age of Reformation because you get a mission that lets you permanently stop it once you reach that I believe. Kinda like England's War of the Roses mission. 19:34 Yes you get tons of these. If they fire at the right times, you can basically guarantee a 6/6/6 ruler at all times as the Military Dictatorship if you have high military tradition and no other generals. For this reason, Offensive and Defensive (because they improve your generals' pips) are really strong as the Military Dictatorship. Defensive in general is actually pretty good because it stacks Defensiveness, Fort Maintenance and Attrition for your upgraded forts, tradition gain and maneuver pips for your generals, and stacks morale with your government passive. Despite the nerfs, Defensive Ideas are still pretty good situationally. Merc Ideas are also surprisingly strong for Milan as well, the only thing holding this idea group back from being one of the best in the game is that Mercs fucking suck right now. 27:50 You need high military tradition as well for them to be good rulers. Because you keep your forts mothballed, you're losing alot of military tradition. The formula for Mil dictatorship rulers is this: Monarch skill depends on Fire, Shock and Maneuver pips. (Siege pip is irrelevant!) For each monarch skill the formula is (RND(0-3) + RND(0-3)) * (9 + Fire + Shock + Maneuver) / 18 rounded down. In human language the quality of the general can push the average 3 3 3 monarch points either up or down. It is a "push", the numbers don't directly come from the pips!!!! A 6 6 6 x general can be a 1 1 1 monarch. This is the reason why early game you have such a horrible rulers. Because if a general doesn't have a minimum 9 pip (excluding siege) you get malus.

Idea for the Lucca situation (may or may not work): if Florence wants the province and hasn't built up AE yet, you might ally Florence, attack Genoa, and peace out Lucca by giving him to Florence. Afterwards you can conquer Florence. Of course, only works if Florence wants it, has the AE to spare, etc.

So you should pull the uno reverse on the Mughals/Timurids and annex the whole Persia Region and also annexing the whole of Norden India by 1526 if possible (When the Mughal invasion of India commenced in our timeline).
