Italian or Neapolitan Ideas?

[New Caesar]

Which one should I choose?

100% Itallian ideas.

+15% Inf combat ability, combine with Quality idea group for the extra 10% and maybe even the Modern Firearm Techniques policy from a Quality/Inovative combo giving an extra 20% and you have troops that can stomp most things.

-25% Core creation cost speaks for itself, combine with Admin for 50% savings on those precious admin points.

+20% Global trade power, very useful for if you have cornered the market in Genoa or Venice.

+50% Improved relations is very nice for turning outraged countries opinions of you around so they dont join coalitions.

+20% Fort defence has become a good idea of late where siege racing appears to be more prevalant in this rendition of the game.

The only really weak idea Italy has is probably the +1 yearly prestige as prestige is pretty easy to come by these days.

As for Nepolitian ideas they are widely regarded as some of the worst in the game....

+10% morale of armies and the -5% tech cost are the stand out ideas that would be nice in any countries idea groups, the rest are poo.

Depends on what you're trying to do in the run. Italy for WC or anything that involves large scale blobbing. Naples for build tall, or an economy focused strategy. Average gamer probably wants to swap around tech 18.
