I was quite stunned when I saw this.

Constitutional Republic of Danzig. Never had that appear in of any of my games before.

Also, Denmark just inherited Norway. The first thing that went through the AI's mind was: omglol let's create a CoT in Iceland.

WTF? Even the other Iceland province didn't trade it's stuff there >.>

[Boksi]

In my experience, CoTs in Iceland are abnormally common. Perhaps it's because of distance or something?

[Dutchling]

It was gone in seven years as nobody wanted to go there.

Spoiler: The Empire is Manifest (click to show/hide)

All those lands gained in 78 years with only 14 infamy? I'm not buying it. Royal Marriages can only get you so far, and forming the Empire is hard as it is!

Actually, if you just play someone like Austria or Bohemia or any other country strong enough to have a sphere of influence, you can maintain a high enough diplomatic skill that electors who hate you will vote for you over fuckers who vassalized them.

And having that high of skill also makes every single reform pass instantly. Since you inherit all HRE lands upon formation, if anyone conquered any of that, you get it.

Not to mention being Emperor gives you quite a few ways to conquer things without getting infamy.

Austria has moved into France. And Denmark. And everywhere. It makes the poor Bohemian emperor sad.

Side note, dont befriend the emperor if you intend to take the crown yourself. Insta-hate. Had Austria with for a hundred years until I crowned myself emperor.

The first thing that went through the AI's mind was: omglol let's create a CoT in Iceland.

Yeah. In my experience, they tend to do that. A lot. No, seriously, the AI went far enough once to put CoTs on both of Icelands Provinces. I'm not sure how they pulled it off, But I think it was pure determination.
^{(Or they used their AI hax. Trust me they exist.)}

I don't even see the strategic point in it, either. The Center of Trade there ALMOST ALWAYS dies within 50 or so years.

[Tarran]

I was quite stunned when I saw this.

GO DANZIG! You should ally with them or at least guarantee them because I don't remember ever seeing Danzig get that big.

Austria has moved into France. And Denmark. And everywhere. It makes the poor Bohemian emperor sad.

Oh god France. I almost feel somewhat sorry, if it were not due to them being overpowered anyway.

Also, look at that Serbia nomming on parts of Hungry.

[Rex_Nex]

Serbia used to be even larger; they annexed Hungary. I had to go to war and make them release it, though. Giant Serbia + Austria allied = nonono.

[Tarran]

Wait, what. They annexed Hungary?

What kind of screwup happened on Hungary's part that weakened them so much?

[Rex_Nex]

Austria!

[Tarran]

Oh... Hungary sure got screwed over.

Next you'll tell me Wales being free was Austria's doing.

[Azthor]

Forcing Austria to release all of its western and northern holdings should still be doable... But I take it you'd rather have it keep them so that they get integrated when you form the HRE?

[Rex_Nex]

Wales starts off under a PU in death and taxes, so thats always been there.

Yep, thats the plan Azthor.

I hate it when you look at the map and suddenly the Mameluke have decided to land in Norway.

Everyone loses holy war at that point, but I  think some ideas will still allow it.
