How do I deal with this? It's hard to form Germany as NGF when you have to deal with constant revolts from these guys
Perhaps, but there were multiple personal unions and Sweden incl. Finland was quite stable kingdom for more than half a millennium.The Scandoinavian example is even better. The unification ideal was only shared among academics, but I doubt the people would had liked it at all.
Um... no it's not. You need to know the trick, but the tricks aren't hard to do.It's hard to form Germany as NGF

Actually I did. The best way to deal with Prussian nationalism (assuming you can't keep your Prussian POPs' militancy down) is to make it mostly-harmless by having a big enough army to squash the rebels, which is best achieved by forming Germany quickly. Items to bear in mind:You didn't read the rest of what I was saying?
Absolutely not; it's not (in general) immoral, unethical, or impolite to be less knowledgeable about a game's mechanics than another person.Should I apologize for not being as good as you?

.
- The Austrian and French armies are squashy in the early game, because they only have one level of tactics tech and you have two. (Also, AI France is shockingly lax about building artillery; they have huge piles of infantry, but infantry not supported by artillery die like flies when facing infantry supported by artillery.)
- If you sphere Denmark peacefully instead of fighting them, you don't get locked out of influencing Holstein for five years.
- An army which is forced to retreat when all adjacent provinces contain enemy armies is automatically completely destroyed.

Even the Prussian King Wilhelm I. despised the title "German Emperor" in the beginning and only accepted it after being pressured into it from Bismarck. He had more regard for the title "Prussian King".
I tried a new game and I believe yhat my militancy was simply too high. Thanks for the help though everyone!
He held both titles, so why should he be pissed about that? He could have sacked Bismarck if he was so unhappy with his policy.Even the Prussian King Wilhelm I. despised the title "German Emperor" in the beginning and only accepted it after being pressured into it from Bismarck.

Thats because he had wanted to be "emperor of germany", not german emperor. That almost messed up german unification, it took bismarck a lot of time to handle that issue.
