Instead of PU Naples you can follow the Provence mission tree to get Naples. They get cores on all of Naples ( so no AE if you take their lands) and then claims Aragon.

The problem with the mission tree is that you need to own or have subject own naples inorder to complete the mission that make pope your march.

@andrewsorenson4408 Жыл бұрын

Not 100% positive but I believe that it is due to the Milan resolving their Golden Ambrosian Republic crisis. I'm pretty sure the event that France and the HRE emperor get that gives them a PU CB on Milan "The Milanese Succession" fires if AI Milan takes a certain choice during their crisis event. Then once AI Milan resolves the crisis both France and the HRE emperor lose their CB. If anyone else has any information or can correct me I would like to know as well because like I said, I'm not certain.

Ok so France is actually an AE monster with those free Burdungy/Provance/Papal state missions. Sadly there is no information in "Which land your ally wants exactly and how much of them he wanna take during 1 war" I mean you can check their intrest but you don't know if someone will take whole Florence or just 3 provinces. 1. Feed Provance as much you can, so you don't get AE. In my case i gave him 3 provinces from Brittany, 1 from Pope, Saluzo and bunch of Savoyrian? Lands. Also 2 provinces for Lorraine. In exchange i got a lot of favours so if i wanted i could finish that quest faster. 2. Burgundy - Similar as above, each time i had war with someone close to his PU - Gave 1/2 provinces if i could Feeed Savoy 3. Papal - Had him since start, was slowly feeding him Whole Italy. + Once i knew i wanted to click missions i made few vassals for myself just to give Papal extra provinces. In my game i had before 1500 all England, close to whole Italy (just few Aragoneese lands left cause i was trying to get PU over Castille, didn't work and i didn't abuse restarts), Standard Vassals as Byzantine/Bulgaria/Styria, Burgundy etc, With close to no AE :D
