At first I just kind of did whatever but now I am trying to plan out where to expand, who to ally, and what idea build I am going to use. Switch Army/Navy Maintenance down to get more money. Unless the nation in question is at war or I want to start an instant war. Other than that just plan your goals beforehand. | ||

At that point it's probably easier to just dissolve the HRE. Only the Emperor can grant electorates, so if you are not in good standings with him (and not a member of the HRE), you won't get it. Besides, a HRE with less than 10 members is not worth the effort to get into. | ||

But hey, you was the one who posted it, of course people will ask why the fuck you have 64k and max monarch power and half of Europe at 1549. What, you think that people should only answer your question and not ask back or something? | ||

+ Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/kTtXg8C.jpg) I got a personal union with Hungary about 10-15 years in because their leader died and the Burgundy inheritance fired about 25-30 years in- long enough France was slowed down pretty substantially, and Burgundy was actually making inroads into the HRE at their Netherland holdings. Managed to successfully integrate Hungary after about 60 years, right in time for the Protestants. I also figured out a cute way to game the truce system- Denmark keeps declaring on northern HRE states, and France is allied with them, so I just have to join the war, peace out (after paying Denmark a crap ton of gold... and breaking a vassal usually, but hey, I can go get a new one), and then I get 15 years to do whatever the hell I want. I wasn't this big until like 1700 last run. I've only got one reform pushed through though (about halfway to the second one). I think gaining imperial authority by expanding the empire's borders will be fairly easy though. I can hardly believe how lucky I was though. First time I tested Austria, I didn't get the Burgundian inheritance or a personal union with Hungary, and I missed the boat to force the personal unions on Hungary and Bohemia. | ||

Will be hopefully utilizing Jake's army tradition + protectorate exploit, then drastawi's holy war + release vassal everything strat. In practice this means no coalitions, and very little over-extension problems. The idea is to truce-break, say, France repeatedly, until you can full annex them, then release them as a vassal. You'll have to eat 400% overextension at -2 stab for a bit, but accept demands is pretty nice button. One of the big issues I'm seeing is the American natives. By the point I am invading them I will be at -100 diplo power with no hope of escaping (in all likelihood I'll have something like 20+ vassals at that point). Without Holy War CB I don't believe I'll be able to annex them for free though. Colonial conquest CB doesn't offer free full annex either. Conquest is unreliable as CN formation will preclude me from being able to forge claim on everything. Are there any other good CBs I'm missing? (needs to have zero dip cost for full annex) | ||

That last change is going to be quite a relief, in one of my games I needed to constantly rival milan. What does it mean that national focus is saved? Does it continue the one you selected even though you can choose again? Is that not how it worked before? Does anyone know if I should be able to load up units by clicking them unto the water tile from one of my provinces that I was taking back? It was attacked by rebels and I couldn't seem to be able to put the extra troops back unto the ship until I broke the siege. | ||

National focus is currently bugged, it wipes if you reload a save and you are unable to set a new one. | ||

![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/kEpZN88.jpg) I've got a personal union with Great Britain and I can integrate them fully in about 20 years. + Show Spoiler + Prussia formed and I was a bit worried that they'd be my doom because they were Protestant very early. I managed to get Saxony to convert back to Catholicism successfully, and then... my emperor died in his early 30's when I was doing some super aggressive stuff to try to deal with the Protestant Reformation. Saxony ended up taking over the emperor title. Fortunately it was short lived, and it was actually a remarkably peaceful time where I got my economy and military in good order. They also continued my reconversion of Brandenburg and Prussia that I had started, so when I regained the throne they were both largely Catholic. So I got to ally Prussia and they were my bulldog for a few hundred years. Saxony tried to defend a part of the empire and they were expecting me to join them as an ally, but I stabbed them in the back, and they got reduced to a single province. So I declared war on them, took their capital, and reclaimed the throne. Ended up getting a personal union with Great Britain too- because Russia was given one, and I got a war to stop it and take it for myself. I had to fight Great Britain, Prussia, and Russia- the Prussian officers coupled with the masses of Russian troops were a huge headache, along with the British landing troops landing in the Netherlands and Italy. I had to get 60% war score, and against Russia that was a slog fest that took 20 years. I booted Prussia out of the war pretty early, thankfully, or I probably would have lost. I completely wiped out all of Russia's manpower several times, but they just kept coming- only started to turn because they got like 16% inflation and started to run out of money for their troops. | ||
