If the emperor is also an elector of the HRE and is the only independent elector left, do you need to vassalize him too in order to dismantle the hre? Or do you just need to control his capital?

What does "historical_friend = ARA" in history files (Portugal in this case) do?
Sit now there, and look out upon the lands where evil and despair shall come to those whom thou allied. Thou hast dared to mock me, and to question the power of France, master of the fates of Europe. Therefore with my explorers thou shalt see, and with my spies thou shalt hear; and never shall thou be released from vassalage until all is fulfilled unto its bitter end.
"The trouble with fighting for human freedom is that one spends most of one's time defending scoundrels. For it is against scoundrels that oppressive laws are first aimed, and oppression must be stopped at the beginning if it is to be stopped at all." --H. L. Mencken

And does Religion play a major part in Reforming the HRE?
"If Humanity does not end war, War shall end humanity."
Well, it does, if you manage to force HRE member that is other religion, to your own religion, you gain imperial authority.
No I mean will they refuse to reform when you attempt to pass a reform?
It doesn't help that most of the states hate me but even those that like me (and aren't my vassal) they won't pass the reform.

I know tax income vassals doesn't give added tax, but what about manpower? If my vassal builds army buildings do I get half of that extra manpower?

Was wondering if someone could PM me what changes the next patch will make (info about beta patch anyhow). I'm on probation so can't access that and I'm curious
Vassals don't give manpower.

Only forcelimit. Thou being emperor give manpower, then being HRE and having all HRE vassalized = massive forcelimit. Not like it is quite possible to make it to your forcelimit easily, if you don't have great yearly income.
Why does being at war with a horde count as peace in the monthly war exhaustion?
Why when Golden Horde occupied a province it became their own soon after (within THEIR borders)? In my previous game they simply occupy it and then demand tribute - they never annexed. This time they capture them without any peace deal - occupy and after few months - it's theirs. Is this normal?
I'm new to this game, so I don't know![]()

I'm sorry, but I don't understand what you mean :P
Ok, according EU3 wiki:
"Hordes - Cannot win or lose provinces normally. Instead, civilized neighbors may colonize provinces that they control. If a settlement reaches 1000 people it defects. In 5.1 and onward, if a horde controls a civilized province for a long enough period, it will defect to the horde."
But I haven't seen such behaviour in my previous games... In previous game they somethimes occupied enemy province for years and nothing happened. Right now they took two already...
