Can someone clarify all the requirements to become Protestant league leader?

[Van der Gent]

History is a bad reference because Peace of Westphalia happened, not one side winning...

The protestant side together with Catholic France are usually regarded as the winning side. Protestantism becoming equal to Catholicism must surely be regarded as a victory, it's not as if the Protestants set out to rid the HRE of Catholicism, unlike how the Catholics set out to take down Protestantism.

Peace of Westphalia does not mean there was no winning side. But the Habsburgers remained emperors which is certainly not what would have happened if the Protestants had won a clear victory.

I feel it's quite odd that we are at the second page plus a dev response but nobody still came up with what the exact requirement for being the Protestant league leader is.

that is exactly point of this thread; it is even MORE opaque then PU mechanic, as there is NO way of knowing what works for/against it ingame

Yep. Ok. Let's try guessing...
Dev*autonomy: would probably explain why OP did not get it from Bohemia.
Modifiers:
Being elector: medium strong modifier
Being protestant: extremely strong modifier (like more than factor 4 I guess)

can't it just be the most powerful protestant military rating nation? would explain why military strong outside powerful nations like sweden can become it.

Don't think so. While outside powers as sweden can become it, it is a lot harder than when you are a protestant elector. Being part of the empire could in theory be another factor... And OPs prussia probably has a higher military rating than bohemia.

League leader gets a score based on development, with modifiers based on being an elector, correct religion, and requires to be a certain amount higher than the current League leader.

Pretty opaque, so we'll look towards making it clearer on the league war screen.

Thanks for your suggestion.

But... Peace of Westphalia is so good! It halves the penalty from heretic princes on the empire!!

It also disables religious CBs within the HRE.

But at least you won't have to worry about converting people quite as much

"The Protestant League is created and headed by the first newly converted Elector"
From the Wiki, dunno how accurate it is.

It's not. Not only "not accurate" but plainly completely wrong in every sense.

It is from the Wiki, but then again the Wiki isnt always up-to-date.
