[color="#40E0D0"]I'll begin by one I'll not change - the Italian - Prussian 1866 alliance - perfect to me
it shouldn't change a lot from an Italian point of view as it is an interesting case of heads you win, tails you still win
- by their alliance Prussia got Italy Venetia - which is a condition I added in german unification scripts
- the interesting part is that had Austria won, Franz-Josef had a (secret but now public to historians) agreement with Napoleon III where Austria was supposed to get Silesia but give in compensation Venetia - to France who would retrocede it immediately to Italy (not directly to Italy for presige grounds)
the remaining clauses were supposed to depend on French/Austrian (+remaining Prussian) ratio of strength, as France (who expected an Austrian victory, but slower and costly) favoured bigger compensations (likely Saarland, Rhenania, possibly but hardly obtainable Palatinate) and keeping German balance by giving Hannover to Prussia (Franco-Prussian war had not happened, remember), while of course Austria did not share such revisionist schemes and kept her traditional views of Emperor protecting German States - BUT transfer of Venetia was the minimum minimorum - so, except perhaps in case Italy would NOT have sided with Prussia AND Prussia won, PERHAPS Italy would NOT have got Venetia, perhaps
we could perhaps increase dramatically the possibility of a German Italian alliance - theoretically the AI.DiploBias takes care of it, and 1860-1890 likeliness of such an alliance has been made very strong : here it is (the war, CB and military are the values we are interested in):
here are the 1850 values :[/color]

[color="#40E0D0"]as you can check, at beginning of game, Prussia is allied with Austria, Italy quickly aligns with France (and Britain), and Prussia will even send an ultimatum to tell France not to go too far - chances of a Prussian-Italian allaince are nil
now 1860-1870[/color]

[color="#40E0D0"]
with Bismarck chancellor, and ambition to oust Austria from Germany, things change dramatically - plus there is some distanciation (with Rome) in French Italian relations
- something you may not see in game, as present effect of (permanent) alliance is such that, IF French-Italian alliance happens at all and is not broken for any reason (separate peace), their relation should soar to 100, making extremely difficult for Italuy to accept Prussian alliance.
still, this one happens automatically, and design of bias already took care of historical trends, so I don't see HERE NEED TO INCREASE THAT BIAS so ....
Here's the present event, as designed by Pocus and Philthib, just as remainder, we'll still examine further events, both 1870-1890 ones, driving Italy towards Triplice, conditionally, and post 1890 ones, driving to a closer relation with France (and Britain, but Britain never was too far) -[color="#FF0000"]Italian unification events will be examined in a separate thread, initiated by Loki[/color]
this one is just for reminder, taken from Italian events :

[color="#40E0D0"]couldn't find the triggering event into Italian unification events, nor in German events[/color]
[color="#40E0D0"]so I just propose to make it active and , unique but tested as long as does not happen, give it a way bigger probability to happen quickly, let's say 80% so it can take effect before the big clash happens between Prussia and Austria - IF it ever does, as in my game, NGF happened peacefully and I proceeded with Austria aknowledging my Prussian supremacy of good grace - why making an enemy - I still saved game and will be able to test an Austro prussian war, which is a bigger challenge than the French (ounumbered one to two) -Prussian one )[/color]
