Now we get on the specifics, Niccolò does a lot of pros and cons of how a prince should act towards his soldiers, people and other nobles but he also warns a lot that a prince should always fear to be hated from any of these parts because any of them can betray him and take him out of the picture.
Niccolò also uses a good analogy that a prince should be astute as a Fox and fearful as a Lion both at the same time

Niccolò has an hard relationship with the Church it seems, he’s able to praise the tactics used by the Church to conquer and maintain Italian territory but on the other hand he’s really critic towards the Church.
Niccolò criticizes the way Italy was being ruled by calling them mercenaries that were to afraid to lose every little that they had and fought by the “book”

Strategy lots of strategy winning by any means, how can a man rise to prince being a commoner versus a man rising to prince with a royalty background, Niccolò, even tho he has some really extreme ideias of how to conquer things, has this whole subject of rising to prince and conquering/maintaining his kingdom really well documented trough his view

Getting into specifics and differences between conquering a kingdom depending on the upcoming of the conquerer and the way he does it and if it is a successful or right way on the eyes of Machiavelli

Niccoló’s ways to conquer and govern are unothordox.
The key words are possess and maintain
He shows that both can be done by any means necessary being those completely destroy a state, extinguish a bloodline or creating “friendships” that will only stronger the conquerer power over the state
