The Italian Empire; I conquered Europe (TIPS!)

Heey, today I played NTW and my idea was to conquer Europe. This was really easy:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

I played as the kingdom of Italy, I started first to conquer the italian states (papal states, napels etc). After that I was part of the coalition, that pretty suprised me, because I was first an ally of France
I started a war against France, first; the Southern French provinces (provence etc): No French armies! WTF! All their armies were in Germany, lol After taking the Southern provinces, I buyed Belgium from Prussia. I maked many armies in Belgium and conquered the last parts of France. Yeah, Napoleon was gone.
----
Suddenly Austria started a war with Russia, Prussia, GB and Me! Dmn traitors
So I conquered Austria xD. At that moment I didn't knew what to do, there were only allies... So I builded trade-stuff, sended ships to Africa and maked a lot of money! Spain wasn't very happy about this, so they started a war against me. *Sigh* Another one...
In a few turns, Spain was gone > I conquered them Portugal didn't liked that I conquered there little friend, so Portugal was going to be also part of the great Italian Empire!
----
After a few turns of peace, I started a war against Prussia. I didn't know what to do so I betrayed my friend It was pretty easy, first I conquered a few regions without a Prussian army. Then I buyed the other regions in return for peace (ahem, the next turn I attacked Berlin ). Ok that was the fall of Prussia, next: Russia. OMG how easy. With a full army I attacked Moscow directly, BAM the fall of Moscow. Russia feld in two parts: North and South with as capital Saint Petersburg. I did the same with the Russians as I did with the Prussians. I buyed the regions in return for peace and attacked Saint Petersburg, the fall of Russia.
----
Next, the fall of scandinavia. Send a few armies and that's it, really easy! At that moment there were three factions; me, the Ottomans (ally) and GB (ally). Yeah, two allies. I had to betray the ottomans first because they were master of the trading ports in the Egypt/Turkey area. And I wanted to collect every port So, I did the same as what I did with Prussia and Russia. At that moment I had to begin a war against England. First I conquered London and buyed Schotland and Ireland. All armies were in Wales, OMG four full English armies No problem for me, just send a few armies to the North of Wales to lead away the brittish armies. With a other army I conquered Wales and Europe was MINE!

Tips:

• Lead armies away when many armies are round their capital

• Keep sending trade ships to the trading ports in the South and North

• Use the buy-and-betray-method; the thing I did with the major nations

A couple of questions:
1) What difficulty level was it played at?
2) How many turns did it take to grab all of Europe?

I played H/H and it took about 200 turns...

It looks like it plays out like a lot of other TW titles (and real life). Build a huge economic base and you can buy your way to domination through lots of resources, diplomatic bribes, and the ability to be "firstest with the mostest".

yes indeed...

How did you play as Italy?..

Go to the NTW released mods.

There is a mod that unlocks all factions.
