Austria

Hey, I do not have much knowledge of Austria, but is there a thread somewhere where you discussed the size of Austria, or any documents or maps etc.? I was wondering why Austria is so small in EEP, I just downloaded it.

Because "Austria" was pretty small in 1419. Only after it was united with Tirol and Styria later on in the 15th century did it finally begin to roughly attain its modern-day borders. The Hapsburgs' power was based on diplomacy and marriages at first. It wasn't until the rise of Karl V in the early 16th century that Austria finally grew to take over western Hungary and Bohemia, and really become a land power.

Just sit back and try to keep your allies from being annexed, you'll grow just fine. Concentrate on building your tech early.

Yeah, thanks, I was just reading about it myself. They should put that into the next beta patch.

Some Austrian/HAB events I've been testing, FWIW. The first sequence is designed to give a HAB player a chance to avoid vassalization to PRM (Styria) the first two modify already-existing EEP events:

[color=white]#Friedrich the Austrian regent #
event = {
	id = 261008
	trigger = {
	exists = HAB
	}
	random = NO
	country = PRM
	name = "Family obligations"
	desc = "In 1439 Friedrich V, brother to Duke Albrecht of Austria, became regent of Austria in due to the infancy of Ladislaus. Friedrich's rule was a period of struggle and disorder owing partly to the feebleness of his own character, partly to the wishes of his brother Albrecht, as it was a strain on Friedrich to rule over Styria, Carniola, Carinthia, as well as administer Tirol and Austria. "
	style = 1
	date = { day = 12 month = january year = 1439 }

	action_a = {
		name = "Yes, brother!"
		command = { type = trigger   which = 179100 }#HAB reaction#
		}
}
#Friedrich the Austrian regent #
event = {
	id = 179100
	random = NO
	country = HAB
	name = "Family obligations"
	desc = "In 1439 Friedrich V, brother of Duke Albrecht of Styria, became regent of Austria in due to the infancy of Ladislaus. Friedrich's rule was a period of struggle and disorder owing partly to the feebleness of his own character, partly to the wishes of his brother Albrecht, as it was a strain on Friedrich to rule over Styria, Carniola, Carinthia, as well as administer Tirol and Austria. "
	style = 1
	
	action_a = {
		name = "Accept Friedrich's regency"
		command = { type = trigger which = 261011 }#Vassalized#
		}
	action_b = {
		name = "Appoint a local regent"
		command = { type = relation   which = PRM value = -50 }#Styria#
		command = { type = stability   value = -3 }
		}
}

#Friedrich the Austrian regent #
event = {
	id = 261011	
	random = NO
	country = PRM
	name = "Family obligations"
	desc = "In 1439 Friedrich V, brother to Duke Albrecht of Austria, became regent of Austria in due to the infancy of Ladislaus. Friedrich's rule was a period of struggle and disorder owing partly to the feebleness of his own character, partly to the wishes of his brother Albrecht, as it was a strain on Friedrich to rule over Styria, Carniola, Carinthia, as well as administer Tirol and Austria. "
	style = 1
	
	action_a = {
		name = "Yes brother!"
		command = { type = vassal which = HAB }
		command = { type = ADM which = -2 value = 200 }
		}
}

And then a short series to bind Tyrol to Austria in case Tyrol refuses to be annexed in the 1490s:

I'll use this thread instead of creating a new one, and forgive me if my question is stupid, but with the search function down this is my only option.

How does the Austria-Hungary unification work in EEP? In the early 1500s I had an event that gave me lots of shields in Hungarian provinces, but not Magyar culture. Then another event made Hungary vassals of the Ottomans, who immediately declared war on me. This really messed up my strategy, but it was fun

Will there be a later event giving me Magyar culture and/or the rest of Hungary, or should I conquer the rest of their lands by force? Thanks in advance.

edit: Jesus. Hungary just fell apart and was divided between the Ottomans and Transylvania. Then I had to DOW the Turks again. Oh well. EEP is weird, but it's good So, do I get Magyar culture?
