If Italy is allowed to form in will gain core on Austria and can be used by the UK to provide a land enemy to Austria and give Austria something to worry about on their western border. Especially in a multiplayer game assisting the formation of Italy and Germany by using the UK's influence points to discredit or ban France or Austria from the minors in these regions can benefit the UK. This is half the infamy cost of a colonial concession war that could be used to gain a huge state in Japan, for example.ДЄnother option the UK player can use is to exploit the development of Germany and Italy for the benefit of the UK. The London Treaty for example, will give Greece the small unimportant Ionian Isles in return for four less points of infamy. The UK can make several unique decisions, such as the ' Treaty of London (1864)', which enables the UK to reduce its infamy. Another way to secure a low Infamy, other than slow expansion or sphere use, is to exploit the UK's unique decisions. By placing influence points into key nations, like Japan, the UK can intervene and aid these nations should another power attack them.Д¬ontrolling other nations in this manner also reserves the ability for the UK to seize them at a later date when it feels secure in doing so. Thus the UK should utilize its Spheres of influence to secure land for future conquests and avoid provoking European intervention. These wars will be provoked if the UK fights too many wars too quickly. The empire is slowed by one major diplomatic concern, that of foreign wars of containment. The UK has an enormous capability to fight military conflicts with both its large starting army and navy.
