Check your morale modifiers, then tag-switch to France and check their modifiers. If they're similar, check on Englands while you're France and see if it's an AI bonus or what.

So I started the game as the Teutonic order. Every war i've been in I have taken land and vassals. Now as Prussia in the year 1632 I am the emperor of the Holy Roman empire with 8 vassal. I can't seem to pass any reforms. Should I continue to vassalize people until I can?

How many vassals do you need to pass a reform?

[Urist McScoopbeard]

I believe you just need to have high authority

[Tarran]

I believe the HRE members need to approve it too, don't they?

Put everyone in your sphere of influence. Hiring a diplomacy advisor will help too but there are way better advisers imo.

Edit: to clarify: your diplomacy rating greatly effects things like voting. Your SoI and your ruler's diplomacy rating is thus quite important.

So in my latest D&T game, I just forced Castille into a PU. Castille has Aragon in a PU. Aragon has Trinicria in a PU.

imho all the pu's should go to the top of the chain and i should get allllllllllllllll of them.

[Rex_Nex]

All I did was send gifts to all the HRE members.

Edit:

So apparently, for D&T 8.0...

So I finally figured out who was voting for who, and it seems that i'm about 5 short. The majority of my votes come from my vassals (I have about 14 right now) If all goes right, in about 20 years I will have conquered a few more and hopefully will be able to pass the reforms and make myself GERMANMEISTER.

Is there a way to convince my vassals to join the holy roman empire? (Such as lithuania and some russian ones)

[Dutchling]

I think the AI only joins provinces to the empire if they are the kaiser. If you have conquered and cored territory outside of the empire you can add them to the empire yourself and release some vassals.

You could probably mod the decision so the AI will do it if their overlord is the emperor but I'm not very good at modding such conditions.

[Andrew425]

So I managed to get some more vassals, and pass some reforms to get more vassals.

I fought a incredibly brutal war with France, (Nearly 220 of my regiments were destroyed) and I got them to give up Burgandy, Switzerland and Savoy.

I then made them my vassals. Bringing my total number of vassals and allies to 53.

I'm not sure I want to form the Holy Roman Empire now, as I can immediately call on my vassals to fight and win the wars for me. Burgandy, Bohemia and Bavaria are large enough to take on a full stack of French or Austrian enemies. I then can swoop in and fight a few decisive battles and then the rest of my vassals lay seige to every single province my enemy owns. If I form the Holy Roman Empire I will lose most of my vassals and I won't be able to rely solely upon them anymore.

Should I form the Holy Roman Empire? Or should I just continue to beat up France and Austria and have them release nations and then continue the great vassalization train?

Enslave the world!

Indeed, the HRE is actually strongest if you enact the vassalize-every-member decision and not unify it. Vassals are OP, but it just doesn't feel as good unless your name is spread across the entire map.

[Catastrophic lolcats]

Yup, Vassals are crazy OP. They give you almost as much money as your would if you had a cored province, there's no revolts to worry about, they send units to fight for you, they don't lower your tech advance and they seem to almost never declare independence unless your empire is really collapsing. It's almost always better to vassilise rather to conquer.

That's not nearly as much fun, however. There's the one downside of them converting to a different religion to your's and being unable to force convert them back.

[Dutchling]

So I decided to give MEUIO another go. The game is no longer slower than vanilla and the popup screens are of normal size now as well.
Goodbye D&T:D

[Andrew425]

So I finished that game.

I had over 75 vassals and allies before I turned into the HRE.

I was pretty much rocking it.
