Thats already concldued (as said I had already planned an Italian War, I merely turned it into a succession war to fit with the theme). As one consequence, Genoa and Venice will fight against Austria, and Piedmont will always fight on the other side than Sicily (hence when Sicily switches, so does Piedmont).Reading your last posts, I don't see anything to add...although the different Italy will presumably alter alliance structures in the upcoming Wars of Many Places' Successions, it's hard to predict exactly how before you lay out those situations...
We need a chart. Something like:
------------ Allied Candidate ----- French Candidiate
England Frederick Hohenstaufen[1] James Stuart
[1] Also king of Prussia
Right. Thats easily done. Oh, btw, no Prussian Kingdom (so far ITTL), because there was no War of the Spanish Succession.
To the left the candidate of the Spanish-British camp, to the right the canddiate of the Saxon-French camp.
Austria: (Son of)Joseph Ferdinand of Spain and Bavaria --- August II of Saxony and Poland
France: Philip IV of Sicily and Naples (Philip X as King of France) --- Duke Philip II of France (obviously, also Philip X as King of France
Poland: Peter Romanov (IOTL Tsar Peter II of Russia), nephew of (ITTL) Tsar Peter II of Russia --- August II of Saxony and Poland (also the Franco-Saxon claimant in Austria)
Sweden: Frederick of Holstein-Gottorp --- Frederick of Mecklenburg-Schwerin (no OTL equivalent, name may yet vary to avoid name confusions)
Mecklenburg-Schwerin: Adolph Frederick III of Mecklenburg-Strelitz --- Frederick of Mecklenburg-Schwerin (same as the Swedish claimant)
Great Britain (if it can be called a succession war): Frederick of Brandenburg and Prussia --- James Stuart
Netherlands (Civil War): William IV of Orange --- the Estates-General (without Stadholder)
But, really, that war will come later. We cant have that war if we dont have the build up
