The Italians on AOE2 are really tough to use on all land maps. Maybe there are some great players that can lead them to victory however I haven't been able too. Their lack of early advantages is what does me in. They should have stronger militia since the Venetians were known for theirs. In contrast, it's hard for the Italians to lose on a water map were they are secluded. Their navy can over power others because they can produce mass war ships better than any other civ. Once they establish a foothold on the water, they can build up their army and easily invade and conquer another island
