I’ve seen the joke so many times that now I wanted to clarify it. The shitty cavalry-tank division was not an actual tank division to begin with. Its name is “divisione celere” which literally means “fast division”. Italian tank divisions will come later, and will be much more similar (at least theoretically) to the other majors ones
I've done the democratic monarchy before once, just to try if I could get a communist Roman Empire. It worked, but the progress towards 70% communist support for the civil was very slow and painful without access to the default decisions. Also it was absolutely not worth it. Paradox does not want you to do it. Once the civil war triggers, you do become communist and keep the focus tree, but all your left advisors go to the other side which can go either democratic or also communist.
Napoleon being short is actually a myth. He's on the short side if you measure him by today's standards, but people in general used to be shorter, so he was in and around the average at the time
Paradox needs to add an event that, in case of enemies landing on the japanese home islands, triggers a spawning of a ton of green pure infantry divisions & some experienced mixed unit divisions to simulate the whole Operation Downfall problem. "" While the geography of Japan was known, the U.S. military planners had to estimate the defending forces that they would face. Based on intelligence available early in 1945, their assumptions included the following:[13] "That operations in this area will be opposed not only by the available organized military forces of the Empire, but also by a fanatically hostile population." "That approximately three (3) hostile divisions will be disposed in Southern Kyushu and an additional three (3) in Northern Kyushu at initiation of the Olympic operation." "That total hostile forces committed against Kyushu operations will not exceed eight (8) to ten (10) divisions and that this level will be speedily attained." "That approximately twenty-one (21) hostile divisions, including depot divisions, will be on Honshu at the initiation of [Coronet] and that fourteen (14) of these divisions may be employed in the Kanto Plain area."

One more tip for the motorization thing- afaik, if you add a new army to a field marshal, they will not update to the field marshal's motorization. You have to either change them beforehand or cycle the field marshal again once they're added.
6:05 Stalin is justifying on you as part of the "Demand Bessarabia" focus, which fires an event to cede eastern Romania to the Soviets, and gives them a Take Claim war goal if you refuse. The event just goes to whoever the current controller is (in this case, you and AI Ukraine).

I think the worst italian path is easily Italian Hegemony in the italo balbo/ dino grandi path. It locks you out of all of the formables for a national spirit which is ok at best.
Okay, so Italy became the Kingdom of Italy to become the United Italian States to become Res Publica Romana and after all that, it is the European Union. That's quite a lot of name changes made there.
