I did that, forced a few conversions yadda yadda... Got to 58 imperial influence. I passed the decision and... nothing happened.

[inteuniso]

It's actually a vote, and they (other members) can vote it down.

[Zrk2]

Those bastards.

How do I force them to pass it?

[Digital Hellhound]

Bribe them. Bribe them all!

[Zrk2]

OH GAWD!

[Zrk2]

So, anyone interested in me continuing this? I have pushed myself into an interesting position, so with a suitably audacious plan we could have much FUN!

[Heron TSG]

I enjoyed this when it was running before.

[EuchreJack]

Certainly worth continuing.

[Zrk2]

Then I'll get on with it sometime tonight.

Now I have a couple plans to get us in better shape, then we'll get on with the expansion:

1. Standardize our armies. I like to go with inf/cav/art in a 3/1/1 ratio, personally.
2. Get rid of unnecessary unlawful territory.
3. Smack the electors around a bit (IE vassalize them).

Then we can have Fun.

Some Opening Moves

First off I sold off my unneeded unlawful territory and got my infamy under control. Next I began to consolidate my power in the Empire.

The war was actually a massive curbstomp as Switzerland chose me over Bohemia.

Sorry I forgot to take more pictures of that. England pulled a dick move and dragged me into a war that I got out of quickly and with no harm done.

Following these wars I tightened the discipline in my army so we could fight better.

The next order of business was to let the good times roll:

No one came to their aid and after one battle the war was decided.

I also forced those heretics to convert, for their own good, of course!

Following those two wars none of the Princes wanted to screw with me so I was able to pass a reform, and spit on France, purely as a bonus!

Diplomatically I bribed the Pope to make myself unexcommunicatable...

And I also noted that religion has all gone to hell in Europe. Notable is Reformed Algiers and a recent growth in Eastern Orthodoxy in Germany.

Finally I have observed that Europe has caught a case of World War One-itis; most of the major nations are either ruled by the de Valois, or by the de Metz. Obviously we will have to fix this French hegemony at some point in the future.

Finally the reforms have allowed us to select a new national idea. What shall it be?

Now you, my esteemed advisors, get to dictate foreign policy. Go nuts.
