Austria - 1670

[unmerged(11499)]

After a long pause, just started again playing a bit of EUIII - picked Austria for warming up.

Now it's 1670, looking nice, have almost all german provinces, being the controller and ruler of HRE, suddenly prestige started to drop at 5% forthnightly or something.
Any idea?

Surely I can live with it, but can see no reason and it's disturbing a bit ruining my beauty GWB.
Maybe there's a coded historical cause, but having not much time even to play, would ask someone more experienced here rather than check every file - thanks

3 words: Unlawful Imperial Territory

-1% per owned province you don't have core in. Taking into consideration you're the Emperor you should get enough to balance out the yearly decay so I'd say you just took 5-7 provinces within the Empire.

It's really a bad idea to have that much Unlawful Territory... you should have max 3 provinces you don't have cores on in the empire and use the rest of your infamy for cheaper things => provinces outside of the territory.

You lose prestige when countries/provinces leave the empire, which I believe they start doing around the time you're playing. Have you checked the imperial mapmode?

Thanks for all for the feedbacks!

Ranger Blue is the Winner - and I am the loser, as it seems so
Just started to run the game in Imperial Mapmode, and the lights went out one by one.
Now, at least I have a new target to reach.
