While I find it funny being called a chump for half the games moves, theres actually a reason I made the moves I made, haha.
As Italy, I like to stall for time. I hate the lepanto and would rather go for France or Austria. The thing with going for Austria is that it doesn't work in the early. Austria 90% will kick you our of their centers, no matter how many units it takes.
Also in order for it to work, Turkey needs to be in a semi-decent condition for that to happen, which means I cant help Austria take them out, because Austria usually gets their share first, which is bad for me. So I "played like a chump" for the first few years in order to stall for time. Eventually I went into Aegean and took Bulgaria in order have a more units for the west. After Iberia was taken I would have gone for Austria most likely, but they stabbed me a turn before I anticipated it (Which wouldn't have mattered anyway because I misordered my fleet to Naples instead of Apulia)
And then there's the unit in piedmont. It sat there forever because if I had attacked France with it, they would have attacked me. I thought I'd keep my options open. Yes Piedmont was support holding Marseilles, which looks like friendly move to France, but it's also in Piedmont. If there was any sort of indication that Germany was going to attack France, I would have attacked it long before I did. In fact the only reason I did was because France had moved into West Med and there were only 2 french armies on the continent.
As for the turn where I only moved one unit: simple negligence.
I had 2 different browser tabs open to the game for some reason and didn't realize it. I saved my actual orders (which included Piedmont to Marseilles) and then after a while of doing other things in other tabs, I went to the second tab and hit ready without thinking about it.
So yeah, I was kind of a mess in that early game. I think if I didn't make those technical errors, I would have attacked Austria before they attacked me.
