I'd suggest watching a letsplay on youtube if you are on the fence about it.

Afaik you can play pretty ahistorical in HoI 4, so you could easily be portugese, become communist, and fight fascist spain. Or something along those lines.

HoI has a focus that lies much more on actual war strategy and even tactics rather than big picture alliance and economics dealings like EU4. Of course you still mostly deal with big picture stuff, but very focused on the war. You decide how your troops should look like, what type of gear they get, if you want to build and/or research more tanks, more planes, more guns, or whatever else. Then you decide where to deploy them, and you can do some nifty micro if you want to, otherwise you can let the AI handle that stuff.

While in EU 4, you decide questions like "Who should i ally with? Which minor has not protection and can be crushed? Is it worth making people around me angry to do that? How can i grab as much stuff as possible in an inconspicuous way? Should i try to turn all of europe reformed? How do i deal with all of these muslims in the countries i have conquered?"

In HoI 4 you deal with questions like "Do i need these new troops in africa or in france? Do i rather build a bunch of infantry guns and build new infantry troops, or a few tanks and one smaller tank army, which doesn't need as many people to handle it? Should i research fast light tanks or strong big slow tanks? How do i get the supplies i need to britain when everything is full of german submarines? Can russia defend against the germans on its own, or does it need help? Do i need more fighters or more close air supports? Or even more strategic bombers? Can i afford not building guns to build those, or will my troops run out?"

So I've been trying out Milan, hoping to form Italy and maybe even try to go for reforming the Roman Empire, but the political situation in the peninsula is a total clusterfuck. I can't get any reasonable alliances at the start because Austria usually allies my rivals and France thinks I'm too weak (and few years later allies some of my rivals/possible conquest victims). Any tips on how to get a reasonably good start a Milan? I always reform to Ambrosian republic to eventually get those sweet 6/6/6 rulers, but there's so little wiggle room I constantly feel trapped between rock and a hard place (France and Austria).

What about Aragon in the early game? Until you get big enough to ally France, and also Aragon will eventually become Spain, and you will want their southern Italy holdings, but a temporary alliance with Aragon might give you a quick start.

Thanks for the tip Silvanel - this time I managed to ally Austria and Hungary almost right off the bat. ~1465, I already conquered 2 provinces from venice, plus Mantua and Ferrara (opm at the time of conquest). Ferrara was taken after a coalition of minor Italian states fired against me, Austria and Hungary made sure they never had a chance
