義大利,在1936年開局時是一個主要國家,擁有亞平寧半島以及西面的西西里島和撒丁島,還占領著 [163]和 [164]的領土,在非洲的利比亞,厄利垂亞和索馬利亞擁有殖民地。義大利本土的地形主要由丘陵組成,在崎嶇的中央山脈的東西兩側有一些沿海平原,形成了亞平寧半島的重要防禦地形。位於地中海中央的位置使義大利成為該地區的主導力量。在遊戲中,該國的陸軍規模較小,但海軍力量強大。其陸海軍都將直面西方法國人的持續威脅,以及英國人對地中海的控制權的爭奪,且兩個大國都在地中海沿岸維持著其龐大的殖民地。
地理
義大利位於歐洲南部,由亞平寧半島和西面的西西里島和撒丁島組成。它還占領著 [163]和 [164]的領土,在非洲的利比亞,厄利垂亞和索馬利亞擁有殖民地。義大利本土的地形主要是由丘陵組成,在崎嶇的中央山脈的東西兩側有一些沿海平原。其地理模塊可分為北部的阿爾卑斯山區,組成主要陸地面積的亞平寧山脈以及南部和西西里島的平原。義大利與西北方的 法國,北方的 瑞士和 奧地利和東方的 南斯拉夫接壤,其東部被亞得里亞海所環繞,南部和西部被地中海所環繞。義大利在地中海中心的地理位置使義大利成為該地區的主導力量。
歷史背景
在1918年第一次世界大戰結束時,義大利是勝利的協約國中的成員。為了換取領土擴張的要求,義大利選擇支持法國和英國。隨著戰爭的結束,義大利曾預計,其承諾的回報將與義大利在阿爾卑斯山的損失相稱。但是在1919年的巴黎和會上,三個主要大國(美國,英國和法國)大都放棄了對較少盟國的承諾:義大利僅獲得了南蒂羅爾和的里雅斯特省,而英國和法國則將殖民地劃分了。他們將達爾馬提亞的領土移交給了新成立的 南斯拉夫。長期以來,義大利一直認為是義大利的地區,例如科西嘉(Corsica),薩沃伊(Savoy),尼斯(Nice)和突尼西亞等(Tunisia),仍受 法國控制,而在那裡的原德國殖民地大部分分配給了 聯合王國。這種看似背叛的行為激怒了整個義大利,今天被視為促成義大利法西斯主義崛起的因素之一。
在此後, 義大利征服了 衣索比亞和 阿爾巴尼亞,在隨後參加第二次世界大戰。儘管與 德意志國簽訂了《鋼鐵條約》,但義大利直到1940年6月才加入戰爭,並計劃通過擊敗 法國(科西嘉,薩沃伊和尼斯)來獲得盟國所應有的地位與份額。在隨後的1941年,義大利同德國和匈牙利一起入侵了 南斯拉夫,並成功征服併吞並了達爾馬提亞沿海的大部分地區以及南斯拉夫的其他一些內陸地區。
除了這些成功之外,義大利的戰爭貢獻便不盡如人意。在法國投降之前,義大利無法在法國取得重大收穫,然後在1940年晚些時候,在 希臘王國戰役中遭受慘敗。後來,義大利為入侵英國控制的埃及投入了15萬士兵,面對英國僅有3500士兵的防禦,在占領了50英里的領土之後,由於後勤問題被迫放棄計劃。不久之後,他們在羅盤行動(Operation Compass)中遭到理察·奧康納的追擊,義大利軍隊被迫返回利比亞,並最終被同盟國驅逐出非洲。其物資被破壞或收繳,大量士兵和人員被俘虜,遭受了巨大損失。隨後,同盟國於1943年夏天對義大利發動了登陸戰,墨索里尼的政府隨之瓦解。
被新任命的彼得羅·巴多格里奧元帥與同盟國簽署了停戰協定,但大部分地區很快被德國人占領,德國人在墨索里尼的領導下(義大利社會共和國,Italian Social Republic)在義大利北部建立了偽政府,首都設在位於米蘭和威尼斯之間的小鎮薩洛。巴多格里奧和國王在沒有下達任何命令的情況下逃到了義大利南部的布林迪西。1945年春季戰爭結束前不久,王室政府繼續控制南部,對德國宣戰,並宣布自己是合法的義大利政府。這引發了短暫但具有破壞性的內戰。但義大利最終將從戰爭中恢復過來,並且與法國,西德和低地國家一起成為 歐洲聯盟的創始成員之一。但是,除所有非洲殖民地外,義大利將伊斯特拉地區(Istria)和達爾馬提亞的扎達爾市(Zadar)割讓給了南斯拉夫。
事件
國策樹
Italy's national focus tree.
義大利作為七個主要國家之一,擁有獨特的國策樹。
義大利國策樹可分為8條主線和15個分支:
- 衣索比亞戰爭後勤線
- 這條線會提升殖民地的基礎設施與工業,並在殖民地創建單位。
- 義大利高速公路線
- 這條線提升義大利本土的工業實力,以及一個科研槽,並發展亞平寧半島的南/北部。
- 陸軍為主線
- 這條線強化義大利的陸軍,並為義大利的民族精神皇家陸軍/義大利陸軍提供加成。
- 空軍改革線
- 這條線注重提升義大利的空軍實力,並為義大利的民族精神皇家空軍/義大利空軍提供加成。
- 海軍力量投射線
- 這條線注重提升義大利的海軍實力,並為義大利的民族精神皇家海軍/義大利海軍提供加成。
- 在阿比西尼亞的慘敗/穩步推進/在衣索比亞的苦戰線
- 政治主線的走向取決於意軍在第二次意埃戰爭中的表現。它將給予一個免費的情報機構,並使維克托·埃馬努埃萊三世加冕為 衣索比亞皇帝。
- If the 2nd Italo-Ethiopian War has gone terribly, this allows Italy to follow the path of 共產主義 or 民主主義 via civil war. It allows the choice of the north or the south as the base of operations in the civil war.
- The 共產主義 sub-branch allows the joining of the Soviet faction or creating an independent faction with other Communist countries not in any factions and the formation of the Italian National Union. It also gives an extra research slot.
- This sub-branch is shared with the 共產主義 and 民主主義 sub-branch. It handles the Military and the Mafia and may give advisors from other political factions
- The 民主主義 sub-branch allows Italy to join the Allies or create a new faction with close European Democracies. It also gives an extra research slot.
- This sub-branch reevaluates Italy's colonial holdings, either giving them independence or making them puppets. It annexes 阿爾巴尼亞 and may give Italy units from each of its African puppets.
- 法西斯主義歷史分支將使墨索里尼在政府中集中權力,啟用更多角色加成。
- 法西斯主義通用分支將升級情報機構和黑衫軍。
- 這一分支將允許成立 大義大利並給予地中海和非洲地區的宣稱。
- This starts the alternate 法西斯主義 and Monarchist sub-branches and overthrows Mussolini.
- This allows either Italo Balbo or Dino Grandi to become the leader of the 法西斯主義 party and gives bonuses depending on who's in power.
- This is the shared sub-branch between the alternate 法西斯主義 and Monarchist sub-branches. It allows the cooperation with 聯合王國 and 法國 and proclaims the Italian Empire
- The Monarchist sub-branch makes Vittorio Emmanuele III or Umberto II as the head of the nation and either forms Italy into a Constitutional Monarchy with either the King or the Prime Minister in power or gives the King absolute power. It also requests support from the Pope and gives bonuses from that.
- The sub-branch allows the creation of the File:Imperium Romanum.png 羅馬, cores on former Roman Imperial territory and gives military bonuses as well as alliances with Iberian or South American Nations.
- This sub-branch gives power to Pope Pius XI or Pope Pius XII and creates the 教宗國. It demands the state of Palestine from its owner and launches a crusade against non-Catholic European nations. It also allows the Pope to create the File:Imperium Romanum.png 羅馬
- This sub-branch is only available if Italy followed the 法西斯主義 or Monarchist sub-branches. It gives Italy various ways to handle foreign nations, whether or not to ally with the other European Majors, 希臘王國, 土耳其, 日本 and the Iberian nations. It may demand 阿爾巴尼亞 annexation or give 奧地利 a guarantee against 德意志國 Anschluss. It may also demand territory from 瑞士.
- The Italian Social Republic Branch
- If Italy enters in a civil war via the National Balance of Power Mechanic, it may chose the 法西斯主義 side. This will make Italy into a puppet of a major.
- The Italian Liberation War Branch
- If Italy enters in a civil war via the National Balance of Power Mechanic, it may chose the opposing side. It has the decision of becoming 共產主義 or Monarchist. This will make Italy into a puppet of a major. It is only available if the DLC 唯有浴血 is enabled.

當 炮手就位擴展包啟用時,義大利開局時擁有如下民族精神:
Diplomacy
Italy starts off at war with 衣索比亞, which is something they will be focusing on for the first months of the game. The Italian technological and numerical superiority more or less guarantees that they will win the war, barring player intervention. The new transportation mechanics makes it less of a hassle to strengthen this theater and less of a hassle to move back troops afterward. At the 1936 start date, Italy has no alliances, but is guaranteeing 阿爾巴尼亞 and can choose to either join 德意志國 and the Axis, form a faction of its own with 西班牙國, or ally 法國 if they become fascist.
政黨
italy is one of the primary Fascist nations and is thus ruled by fascism. The political parties in Italy and their popularity remain the same in both the 1936 and 1939 scenario with Benito Mussolini's Partito Nazionale Fascista ruling with overwhelming support, at 76% support, followed by the democratic Partito Popolare Italiano with a significant 22% popularity and the communist Parito Comunista Italiano with a minuscule 2% support.

工業
Italy's industry is quite modest compared to other major powers, at just 50 factories, which is a bit below that of the other European major powers. The country's limited production and construction power will seriously undermine its war effort if not dealt with swiftly.

Military
Army
Italy has 39 divisions in 1936. Of these:
- Two are Reggimento di Cavalleria with 4x cavalry and no support.
- Five are Divisione Alpina with 6x mountaineers, engineers, support artillery, and high reinforcement priority.
- Five are Divisione Coloniale with 6x infantry, no support, and low reinforcement priority.
- Three are Divisione Celere with 4x cavalry, 2x motorized infantry, 1x light tank, and high reinforcement priority.
- The remaining 24 are Divisione di Fanteria with 6x infantry and engineers.
The land borders of Italy's core territory (France, Switzerland, Austria - later German Reich - and Yugoslavia) are all mountains or hills (except for the city of Nice), and naval invasions will be necessary to control the Mediterranean, so a mix of mountaineers and marines is recommended for special forces expansion.
In terms of technology, Italy's support weapons, armor and artillery are rather outdated, the only special forces available are mountain infantry, and the only support companies available are engineers. Extensive modernization and research will be needed.

The Regia Marina is sizeable, with access to significant amounts of modern naval technology - Italy possesses all of the 1936 hulls, batteries and armor setups. The one exception is the complete lack of carriers, but given the time necessary to spin up such a project, it may well not seem worth investing in. Most of the existing ships are older models, but there are four battleships anticipating 1940-1941 completion dates, a nearly-completed Montecuccoli Class cruiser and two almost half-complete Duca degli Abruzzi Class cruisers, two half-complete Maestrale Class destroyers, and a half-complete Calvi Class submarine in production. Completing these any time soon will require a bigger investment in Italian dockyard capacity.

Without Man the Guns
The Regia Marina is rather sizable, it is however not very modern. The only 1936 naval tech that Italy possesses is the Caio Duilio battleship, though it does possess upgraded versions of the 1922 heavy cruiser, light cruiser, destroyer, and submarine. Italy also has several ships under construction. 2 Caio Duilio Class battleships that are about 20% finished. A Montecuccoli class light cruiser that is almost finished along with two Maestrale Class destroyers and a Sirena Class submarine.

Upgrading the interwar fighters and bombers to at least 1936 level is a priority for the air force, as is simply expanding the country's contingent of fighters to a size that can achieve air superiority over the home land and sea regions to fend off strategic bombing and port strike missions.(The Allies (AI) can easily send over 1000 bombers and fighters respectively to Italy.) If carriers are to be built, naval variants of fighters, naval bombers, and perhaps close air support will also be needed as a priority, otherwise the carriers are useless.

Military staff
Italy's high command picks are an underwhelming lot, only the air force attracts any candidates above "Specialist" level with one exception for a Naval Expert in Military High Command. Army command tends towards the defensive, Navy command trends in the direction of capital ships, only the Air Force command picks exhibit a degree of intense specialization.

Strategies and guides
Basic strategy
Italy is an interesting country to play despite being the weakest of every starting Majors. It is unique in that it is the only nation that starts off at war with another nation in 1936, that being 衣索比亞. Taking Ethiopia isn't a problem, but the war provides an easy early-game source of military experience for reformatting the Italian army divisions. Timing the end of the war is also important. End it too early and you likely will not be able to earn much experience for your generals and field marshals. End it too late and the war might just drain a large chunk of your manpower and/or equipment and the Spanish civil war might just start and end before you can finish the "Support Nationalist Spain" national focus. While the Ethiopian war and Spanish civil war is ongoing, build up your military and industry, you will need them later.
After Ethiopia, Italy can decide not only the fate of the Allies, but also the Axis. In order for Italy to disrupt 德意志國 (If Italy is going the "Italy first" route), all Italy has to do in the beginning is to invade 奧地利 before Anschluss and then attack 南斯拉夫 (causing 捷克斯洛伐克 to join as well) and then take Czechoslovakia after war with Yugoslavia. This can be difficult to pull off if Czechoslovakia fortifies, but successfully pulling it off will allow you to steal a lot of the low-hanging fruit that is normally meant for Germany, weakening them. Ironically, despite declaring war and making puppets from Austria, Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia, this will still generate less world tension than what Germany can produce historically from taking aggressive action against said nations.
From here, Italy can choose to expand its alliance by creating further puppets from 匈牙利王國, 羅馬尼亞王國 and 土耳其. One has to watch the world tension, however, as if it rises to 25% or higher, the allies (France and the UK) will start guaranteeing nations you target, which can easily lead to nasty war with both nations. A war with both the French and British at this stage is likely going to be too much for Italy to handle, even with skilled play, so be careful.
That being said, sometimes Italy can take refuge in audacity. If world tension is below 80% and 法國 hasn't joined the Allies yet through a focus, Italy could complete the national focus "Go After France" (or justify a wargoal on a nation when world tension is over 25%, causing France to guarantee them) and strike them directly. France has a respectable military but Italy can relatively easily build up its own military to match them through superior units, though this might require stretching Italy's manpower pool somewhat. Be mindful, however, of the fact that France's military industry is horribly sloppy, at just 6 Military factories although, France's national focus tree can expand this quite a bit. If Italy builds up its military and industry (the faster the better), attacks France and manages to encircle and destroy enough units to cripple the French military, Italy could conceivably defeat France before 1940, allowing them to more than double their industrial potential if they annex France, or acquire a nice source of manpower if they puppet them.
From here, the path to supremacy lies open; Italy can either choose to strike at Germany or the United Kingdom and once those two are gone, the rest of Europe is within your reach. Only the 蘇維埃聯盟 could theoretically present a threat to you anymore and that will most likely only become a factor towards the late game. Conquer enough land and you might just find yourself surpassing even Mussolini's wildest dreams and be able to restore the File:Imperium Romanum.png 羅馬.
If playing the more historical Axis alignment its worth noting that Italy is unique among the Axis of being within striking distance of the Middle East with its valuable and abundant Oil supplies. Using its North African holdings as a launching point and its ability to protect supply convoys through the Central and Eastern Mediterranean Italy is able to quickly seize not just the Suez but the entirety of the Allies Middle eastern territory. Just be sure to grab it all or else Vichy France will spawn and cut you off from further eastern expansion.
Once this is done you are at your leisure to fabricate and push eastwards grabbing more Oil than you could possibly use from the weak Iraq and Iran. At this point you are then free to advance further into the British Raj and/or open up more fronts with the Soviet menace.
Some suggestions regarding units
A solid, relatively simple strategy is to switch your military doctrine to "Superior Firepower" and place Support and Line Artillery (both Normal, Anti-Tank, and Anti-Air versions) in all of your divisions. Coupled with Fighters (for air supremacy), Close-Air-Support planes (to assist your ground divisions) and Field Hospitals (to conserve manpower, if resources permit) you should be able to both attack and defend against most enemy units without too much of a hassle. Once you can obtain a reliable source of fuel and enough factories to support it, you can also start fielding various kinds of Tanks (supported by Motorized/Mechanized Infantry) to further augment your breakthrough capabilities, allowing you to break stalemates and attempt to encircle enemy units for destruction.
Guard Italy's coast closely! Italy is a peninsular nation and has a very long coastline which, when dealing with a naval enemy like Britain, is a disaster waiting to happen if not properly addressed. To prevent any enemies from pulling a D-Day of their own on italy, it pays off to construct Coastal forts on all naval bases and station units there to man them to repulse invasions. Keep a set of reserve units stationed close by as well, so that if any enemies try to land next to the coastal forts and then assault them overland (to avoid the "amphibious assault" penalty), the reserve units can be brought in to encircle the invading units and contain the enemy incursion away from any naval bases and either destroy them or starve them into defeat.
As for your naval units, Italy is a peninsular nation so maintaining naval supremacy in the Mediterranean will go a long way to protecting against possible naval invasions (something an AI-controlled Italy often falls victim to). In the early game, when naval dockyards are in limited supply, a decent early-game fleet would be a mixture of torpedo-equipped destroyers and gun-carrying light cruisers (both with added armor), with some heavy cruisers added here and there as resources permit. These ships are decently powerful while also being decently expendable and replaceable. In theory, the light and heavy cruisers should engage and destroy enemy screening ships, allowing the destroyers to attack and destroy enemy capital ships once the screen ships are down. Once you acquire more naval dockyards, this combo can be further augmented with the addition of more heavy cruisers and even battleships for heavier ordnance. The Mediterranean sea is small enough that Naval Bombers operating from airfields in coastal states should have enough range to cover most sea zones, allowing you to support your navy. This also makes Aircraft Carrier battleships somewhat redundant early on.
When it comes to dealing with enemy submarines, one could set up specialized "scout fleets" consisting of destroyers optimized for detecting submarines and ordered to "Do not engage". These scout fleets can scour the Mediterranean for submarines and if they find any, they will alert the actual attack fleets, allowing them to make their way over and attack the enemy submarines, damaging and hopefully destroying them. If Italy wants to further assist their navy, they could build ships (destroyers and cruisers) outfitted with minelayers and extensively mine the Mediterranean sea. Mines will cause enemy ships to suffer a speed penalty, making them move slower, which hampers everything from responding to and engaging your fleets, disengaging, and retreating from battles and fleeing from bad situations. Having enough friendly minefields around can allow the Italian navy to do a lot more risky/audacious maneuvers and get away with it, allowing them to punch above their weight against bigger enemies like the British Royal Navy and the French navy.
To avoid issues with fuel, Italy could invest in building fuel silos in peacetime and importing Oil to fill them up. If you manage to puppet 羅馬尼亞王國 or any other nation that has a decent Oil reserve, you can import Oil at a discount. Once war does break out and fuel becomes harder to import, this can be remedied by occupying and/or annexing states that produce Oil. Alternatively, if conquering and/or importing Oil is not an available option, constructing synthetic fuel refineries can help address this. Just make sure to also protect these installations from enemy aggression as both fuel silos and oil refineries can be bombed by hostile planes and captured by enemy troops, so be careful.
A change of heart
Italy is uniquely versatile for a major power in that it can relatively freely decide what ideology to follow. None of the national focuses in Italy's focus tree explicitly require Italy to be of a given ideology and Italy has free access to all three political advisers (Democratic, Fascist and Communist), making it perfectly possible to switch ideology, join the appropriate faction and profit off of it.
Examples of this include: turning Communist, allying the 蘇維埃聯盟 through the Comintern and then backstabbing Germany if they decide to carry out Operation Barbarossa and invade the Soviets. For extra effectiveness, Italy can also (once communist) boost communist party popularity in France until they flip to communism (since they start out with a significant communist minority and will likely gain more through events). This will cause France to not join the Allies and if Germany, attacks them, they will likely instead join the Comintern, granting you an additional ally to work with, at the expense of Germany.
Alternatively, turning Democratic, joining the Allies, guaranteeing nations like 波蘭, 捷克斯洛伐克 etc, to hamstring Germany's expansion or trick them into a defensive war, defeat the Germans (for bonus points, let the Germans beat up the French and British a fair bit before you finish them off), puppet Germany or annex their territory to gain access to their industry and resources, then build up your military, leave the Allies and use your national focus tree to generate a war goal against France or Britain at your leisure, and attack and conquer them as well. Once you no longer need it, you can again switch ideologies to either fascism or communism and continue expanding from there.
For maximum switcheroo value, Italy could theoretically drift to democracy, undermine and conquer 德意志國, then prepare for and conquer 法國 and 聯合王國 through its national focus tree, then drift back to facism to conquer the Low Countries ( 荷蘭, 比利時 and 盧森堡).
From there, Italy could either;
- A. Stay fascist and continue its rampage throughout Europe and North Africa until they are in a position to form the File:Imperium Romanum.png 羅馬, or.
- B. Drift back to democracy once again and form the 歐洲聯盟, granting them cores on all of the aforementioned countries sans Britain.
