Helpless emperor

[corgi911]

I need some advice. After the successful westphalian peace the humanistic Prussia is suddenly the emperor of the HRE: . Prussia has 2 PUs (Denmark and Boehemia), I dont know why but in both cases Prussia has rescued both nations before eating by neighbours.
Now my situation is as you can see quite good :
The only thing disturbing me is that Austria has incorporate all swiss provinces.
Any tip wait and see or attack but against whom?

You are Prussia. Attack everyone.

More seriously, I'd invade Poland or Russia if Russia is close enough to you.

Well since you have 24 Million manpower, I'd guess you're using console cheats. So just attack until the enemy runs out of manpower and money?

 

[corgi911]

Well since you have 24 Million manpower

Yes but only the first years for a little bit of cash but never to increase manpower or other things. And yes I dont like the fow. Perhaps the actuell manpower is high because Prussia is the emperor of the HRE, I dont know!

I'd invade Poland

You are right some polish provinces in the western part of Prussia would be the best and next target. But honestly I am not a friend of blobbing. I thought eg liberating the occupied swiss provinces would a good idea?

I have to add that Prussia has founded some colonies in Canada and astonishingly they are selfexpanding/growing. Now nearly the eastern part is prussian Canada. And there are some colonies in Africa.

I rembember that after victory with protestant league as protestant prussia I didnt claim title of emperor(because didnt want it). after that ottomans dowed austria they were little close to each other so first I ignored it. then ottomans started swinging battle I was like "ok I dont want stronger ottoman than me and also I want empire to progress if any possible for member bonuses) so I sent conditteri to austria
20k stack full prof army with %130 dis! just needed some men of austria to fill my ranks and we started stack wipe ottoman's 40 k armies

what am I saying is if you got a good army with full ranks you can win battle as long as you have man power

Thank you for your reply, yes certainly because of the choosen military ideas I got a strong army and I am wondering too but Prussia produces alway 2 or 3 stars generals.

invade Poland

Historically accurate.

Once again no cheats for manpower etc. I looked in older screenshots (time of Brandenburg) the number of manpower was slightly lower. So perhaps you misinterpreted one of the pictures

 

[The_Seraph]

I'm not sure how to interpret 23807k.

 

[Ulfing]

I'm not sure how to interpret 23807k.

Clearly every other province not seen in the screenshot has been taken by Prussia. 23807k is the sort of number you'd expect to see late on in a WC.

Lol are you being serious? you have 23807k man power and you're trying to convince people its because you're the emperor of the HRE? so much xD

23 million manpower is easy breh, just become emperor

 

[Bebou]

I know right...I wish I'd known this when i started the game with austria...

Yep I dont know why my manpower is high. Here an older screenshot before being the emperor: sorry its in german what I prefer.
And here is a new screenshot as you can see the baltic provinices are also a part of Prussia: . Comparing with the beginning: the poor BRA/PRU has been growing very much. All the big cities like Hamburg, Lubeck etc are now part of Prussia. I dont know if that is explanation enough for you, but I confess I never use the console for increasing my manpower.

I am the emperor! But I am not sure if that is the reason for my high manpower?
But anyway my main problem is wether I should expand inside HRE or better outside the HRE

 

[The_Seraph]

I can't help myself really. The only picture that doesn't have 24 Million manpower is the one from 1444 (aka the start date).

Yep that is the beginning date; but I dont make every century a screenshot. Perhaps that actuell screenshots helps I dont know: and that and that and finally that or would you like to see my savegames? Again I never manipulate my manpower, why should I do that. Prussia is always really strong, so what? But I notice too that the prussian manpower is really much higher than all of the other nations although the populations is medium. I am not sure if that belongs to the choosen military ideas or its a bug. I must confess I dont know how to increase the manpower in such a high level.

It's one thing to play with console, I do it sometimes just to right some wrongs, and I don't mind people playing with it if it's fun for them.

But it's another thing to play with it and deny you do.

 

[Bebou]

I don't think it is necessary for me to comment much, since the gents above me have said enough. If you're using console commands its fine nobody really cares, but when you flagrantly do it and deny it, its kind of sad. You also contradict yourself saying you don't know how to give yourself man power but you do know how to give yourself money...Also why are you even asking for advice. keep rebuilding armies and suiciding them into any enemy, its not like your "Imperial" manpower is ever going to be an issue.
