When the Expedition of the Thousand event does happen, all of the other Italian states will experience a large rebel uprising, with the rebels labled 'Garibaldi's redshirts'. Austria is always a option, but I would'nt suggest taking Lombardia from them yet, Doing so will result in having you cecced 2 regions, Savory and the providence of Nice to France, in return for some prestige, you gain cores on Lombardia and a increase of 100 relations with France.Įven before the Expedition of the Thousand event happens, you can still go ahead in reaching GP status. And don't limit yourself to just un-civs. Like the Two Siclies, Tunis is always a option, but you also have Egypt as well as the other North African States to take a bite out of. You could go with the same direction as the Two Sicilies, but you'll have France on your side, with can be a big plus for you. This event can happen at any time around the game. Forming Italy as Piedmont-Sardinia is much easier than forming Italy as the Two Sicilies, thanks to Giuseppe Garibaldi and the event that lets lose the 'Expedition of the Thousand' unto all of the Italian States.
