Add a "Request Electorate"-Action

[Marlys]

As the titel says.

I think it would be cool with a "Request Electorate"-action .
It should ofc only be usable by members of the HRE and require not only good a relationship with the emperor, but also a high degree of trust.

It seems only fair that a 100+ years of Alliance with the Emperor and being a stout defender of the empire shoud be rewarded with a position of power.

The smaller you are should also highly effect the emperor's chance to accept.

And government type should be a factor. Emperor probably wouldn't grant electorships to duchies. But republics abs bishiporics ya.

Why wouldn't the Emperor grant electorships to duchies? Historically it did happen, vide the case of the Duchy of Bavaria...

Oh I was just thinking game wise it would be wierd.

But I vote for historic over gameyness anytime.

I have a hard time imagining a decent implementation of this. Times where you have too few electors are usually extremely short, since the emperor appoints a new one ASAP.
Also Bavaria wasn't really granted electorate status. It was transfered from the Palatinate Wittelsbachers to the Bavarian ones, since the one in the palatinate took the protestant side and the emperor wanted the bavarians to support him. (which wasn't too hard since the wittelsbacher branches didn't exactly like each other.)
