That probably is a plan, mostly because it'd be kind of weird to have a Germany that elects someone else as its Emperor

Isn't the Habsburg advantage removed in the betas? IIRC you are a Mac user. In any case, if Italy gets two votes, so should Germany. I wish Twoflower would give his opinion on this, but he's infrequent to say the least.Lord Abaia said:Then it might be necessary to give Germany more than two votes to overcome the Hapsburg advantage...
I'm playing a game as Germany right now, and despite my editing country.csv to give Germany two votes, the Imperial crown always goes to Spain unless I remember to bribe all the surviving electors to +200 before the election.

´A country can't vote for itself, so giving them more votes hurts them actually as they will use those votes on other countries. Try giving them 100 votes. It basically assures that whoever has the highest relations with them wins.
That's the point.It wouldn't be easy to program
Another option - what about the HRE is no more once Germany forms? That would at least prevent foreign troops from marching all over your territory because you ludicrously voted for them as Emperor of your nation. While far from a perfect fix, it would at least prevent the ridiculous results we have currently (to the point that I've abandoned my current game - I at least want to be able to pretend the game can represent an alternately possible reality, whereas the present system makes no sense at all).
Well, you couldn't before either. There was a change, when Italy was lost, but that was hardcoded. HRE is now static throughout the game.Ar-Pharazôn[GE] said:Also impossible due to fact that since the latest beta (wich is required for AGCEEP) the HRE territory can not be changed during the game.
Concerning the Elections we can not realy create a situation by force in which no more elector exists and the Emperor dies (example Swiss is Emperor) plus I don't realy know what happens if the Emperor dies and no more Elector exists perhaps the Habsburg Bonus of Spain would result in Spain beeing elected even without any Elector left.
In earlier versions French, and Dutch owned provinces ceased to be a part of the HRE (of course only as long as France or the Netherlands owned the province) the same effect was occuring if non-christian nations conquered provinces within the HRE.Well, you couldn't before either.
