Anno 1493, almost forty
years have passed since the Duchy of Milan and the Republic of Venice agreed on the shaky peace of Lodi.Now, with the invasion of the French king Charles VIII., This phase of prosperity seems to end with a hammer blow.
Doubtful claims on Naples and the Duchy of Milan led him and his many soldiers on the peninsula.
But he is not the only one who casts covetous eyes on the richness of Italy.
Although the Republic of Venice loses ground against the Ottomans in the Aegean Sea, they gain new possessions but at the expense of the emperor in the north.
He is just concerned about securing his Burgundian inheritance, must now also march to the south, if he wants to preserve the imperial authority.
At the other end of the boot, Sicily and large parts of southern Italy are under Spanish rule, which competes with the corrupt popes for power and land.
Located in the misery the Duke of Milan has actually lost the battle, it seems that his opponents are too strong. His only hope seems to be the dreaded Swiss mercenaries.
But they seem to have their own plans and won't miss their change to prove their power.
On the edge is the Hungarian Kingdom that arms itself against the onslaught of the Ottomans.

The Italian Wars mod team released a new version back in september 2020, but they never uploaded here at ModDB. Now it's time and enjoy this new version!
It's been quite a journey, after so many years I am so happy to present to you a more finished version of the The Italian Wars | Ultimate.
This version has included many of the planned scripts to increase gameplay and bring all the minor factions to life. Though it is not yet finished.. Nevertheless all missing events are fully written but I haven't found the time yet to implement them into the mod. Which means there is still hope to see this mod being finished in the future.
You will find a more than playable version below. Of course, it has not been tested as I did intent, but I'll stick around to lend you guys a hand if any major issue occur.

Unfortunately it always crashes around turn 10, i tried several times with different factions. It is a pity because it was such a nice mod.
Actually following this simple fix, I didn't have any crash, new game needed.

It runs fine, but in all of my campaigns, after a few turns, it just crashes with an unspecified error. When I load the mod again and try to play that campaign, it just keeps crashing. Is there any way I can fix this?
Also, I have the total war centre files because the ones here in Moddb do not work. I always had an error with the "Pope coronation" file or something like that.
Hi there! Any updates or news? This mod is amazing, great work (also is my favourite mod :p)
A few issues:
1) Units have too high defense stats;
2) Units have too high morale stats;
3) Ottoman missile units have too big range;
4) Scripted events lack proper warnings, as some of them will change the faction's unit roster, causing garrisoned units to lose free upkeep;
5) Field costs are not taken into account in the treasury screen, so you'll be losing money despite having a "positive" balance;
6) Some cities like Bologna have no free upkeep units at all
Please lengthen the time period. Pretty please.
Hey! I am playing with Florence in grand campaign and the game is crashing after end turn of 6 turns. I tried many times but its crashing. Pls help.
