I'm currently Pommernia (sp?) and I'm trying to form Prussia. I have all the cores, the reformation has started and all that other stuff, and was at war with Burgundy, who only recently became the Emperor.
At the same time as trying to become Prussia, I am trying to dismantle the HRE, as I've never done it before. While I was at war with Burgundy, the decision to form Kingdom of Prussia was seen, and then I defeated the Emperor, dismantled the HRE (I had most electors as vassals, except one, whose capital I also captured), and then ended the war. Once all the previous requirements to form Prussia was completed, I could no longer see the decision.
So does the HRE need to be around for me to become Prussia? basically my question.
I'm also playing D&T, which I know changes some of the requirements but I didn't realise to such an extent.
Thanks.
