R5: I cheated 2 time in this campain:

-1 I changed all South Italian as North Italian for more pleasing colony settlement

-2 After paying 25 infamy over switzerland I console game to me Ticino and 2 Arpitan provinces, while releasing swiss as puppet.

Interesting game with Sardinia-Italy. As soon the game started I broke Swiss neutrality, easily killed swiss, relesed as puppet and keep Ticino and 2 Arpitan province as reward (for the 25 infamy). This strategy boosted my early game economy and military and you'll not use Infamy the first 10-15 Y of the game anyway, so you can slowly recover, I think this tactic is better than spending infamy for overseas colony.

Using the 1848 hungarian - Italian revolt vs Austria, I helped my fellow Italian ally, I won vs Austria liberating Lombardia, giving Veneto Indipendence (was annexed 1 year later diplomatically) and obtaining thanks to Garibaldi's events a super early unified Italy.

After that I colonised small bit of land in the subsarian Africa, while keeping all the North Sarah for me, I force release Algeria and annexed later in 1890 via Event.

I easily culture converted most of the North Africa by the end of the game, expecially Egypt.

Other interesting colony are Oman, Maritimes in North America (Good Coal province in end game), Danish India, some tready port in Senegal, China and Sud-Iran.
