That was an action packed update for certain.
Is it possible for Brunswick to remove France and reinstate themselves as an Elector now that Rudolf August is Emperor? I hadn't thought so, but I thought I'd ask.
Excellent additions to the Brunswick patrimony, and another core to boot. You expand slowly, but very steadily.
Beating Bohemia and becoming Emperor in the same update? Aside from losing the electorship, it's hard to see how things could have gone better for Brunswick in this update.
I think I'm right in saying that was the hardest to get of the cores you need for Germany. Bohemia had the potential to give you a rough ride, but seem to have backed down when they realised it would mean a two front war between you and Austria in addition to their war with Hungary.
Is Krakow an OPM in EU3?
I believe that a true gentleman would seek to provide maximum protection for your new subjects *cough* Imperial reforms *cough*...

It's not, that's why we see quite a lot of AARs with house rules like this one.
You're getting to the point where I think you pretty well owe it to yourself to form one of the major unified German powers, either the countrified HRE or Germany proper.
It's too bad this version of the game doesn't let you get more than one Imperial Reconquest per peace deal.
Same wars again five years from now?
And am I right in thinking that as long as you have a proper CB, there's no special consequences for the Emperor to wage war on an imperial state?
I really like the current strategical situation and your way of protecting the empire's subjects from invaders, however, I am appalled by the fact that some people from Brunswick may even consider abolishing the monarch they swore allegiance to, or his legal descendants. However, I can see the advantages of men skilled in the art of diplomacy to lead this country, so I guess it would be prudent to wait until another dynasty comes to an end, or a prolonged stroke of inept rulers will clearly demonstrate that dei gratia no longer applies to them.
This is madness!
Why would they? His country's got a completely spotless reputation for 200 years! What prince of the Empire could be better-trusted to oversee the others?I have a feeling that the other electors might look a bit askance at the Emperor owning pretty much all of northern Germany outright.

On the contrary. This ... is... Brunswick!
(I really don't want to see the monarchy go bye-bye, either. But on the other hand—Revolutionary Germany! So, uh, maybe?)

You took care of the British with much more ease than I'd have thought and added two more provinces to Brunswick. There's nothing much that can challenge you on borders right now.

Squeaky clean but big and powerful...
The Brunswick way
Nice move with Transylvania and by the look of things somebody in Blue has got a severe problem...
Bohemia is certainly weakened with the release of Transylvania. How many of the lands Bohemia holds are cores?
