In my first 1.24 game, Austria passed all the reforms and formed greyskin by 1760. First time i have seen this since, like, 2014. So i guess our experiances may vary greatly.
Now run at least ten more games to tell if that's your experience or just a freak accident. One time does not mean it's the norm.

Now read what the OP wrote in the opening post and discover that his judgement was also based on 1-game experience. You know, when in Rome...

The number of people agreeing with the first post (with zero disagreeing) reflects the fact that what the OP described happens much more often, to far more people.

I don't know how much people will agree with my 1-game judgement unless i actually post it :p
And how exactly is it different from the exclamation the OP did, except i make a different 1-game judgement? :D

So, what, I should write down all my previous experiences that just confirm this one interesting one I wrote about in the OP? If you have 50+ games under your belt in Europe, you know as well as I that what I write about is nothing new.

The HRE AI loves nothing more than to gobble up its neighbor.

In my view, it should be forbidden to HRE princes to fabricate claims on HRE land.

Mission, rivalry, diplomatic insult, trade conflict, enforce personal union, no CB wars would still be possible.
This would push the de-balkanization of HRE to its proper place - to the era of Religious wars (Deus Vult) and nationalism CB.

Those that want to expand within HRE would now be forced to go Protestant or Reformed, at the price of the possibility of simply being removed from the map. As was the case historically.

This would also mean that other European powers like France, Russia, GB, Ottomans or Sweden/Kalmar would need to work hard to support the heretic princes to bring instability to the HRE else they be facing a greyskin monster. The unification of Germany, HRE or otherwise, brought the biggest devastation Europe has ever seen.

Nay sir, no insult to you. Just defending my right to share my 1-game experiences from people disliking my posts for no other reason, but just because i posted them, and i don't really think my post was offtopic in any way :)
