I've been anxious to finally put to rest the age-old quest for German unification events in EU2, keeping a proper mindset of what is plausible yet making it possible and interesting to accomplish. Working with Twoflower, we are developing the first in a series of 2-3 options for possible German unification.
These following events are the easiest and most brutal method. Essentially, a country conquers the capitals of the Electors plus one or two other key cities, and then vassalizes the Emperor. That will trigger an event which can give the country the HEI tag, German cores, and also a slew of horrible reaction events across Europe, badboy, casus belli, revoltrisk, etc.
Keep in mind these are just draft events. The two I'm posting are models of the "by force" method of becoming Germany and the typical reaction event for other countries. Every German country would have its own potential event. And also bear in mind that this isn't the only method being contemplated for German unification. Twoflower is contemplating methods involving Austria centralizing Germany through other means than merely warfare. So, take a look, and let us know what you think.
I'm just hoping that by putting a proposal on the table, we can deflate the usual round of arguments and work constructively to make a realistic and plausible addon for German unification.
