Holy Roman Empire

[unmerged(4029)]

Are the makers of EU II aware that the HRE in 1419 still had more sovereign power then for example in 1492?
I think this should be simulated by a greater bonus and power for the Emperor and perhaps a closer conenction between the member states.
Maybe this greater sovereign power could decline by events when the game advances further.

I'd say that the HRE should play a bigger role. Remember this is the time period when the Pope is challenged by Kings and who should have more power, the pope or kings. So I definitely think this should e taken into account, or at least a scenario about it made.

Good point! Please join our disussion in the thread "Role of the Holy Roman Empire (HRE)" within this forum (EU II General Discussions). There is already a lot of stuff about the HRE and a lot of gamers interested in discussing any ideas...

Far as I'm concerned the Emperor should have the electors and states of the HRE as vassals.. as technically they were. Of course they'd be un-annexable, but still the money bonus would make the HRE more valuable than a free road to the east...

The HRE had power, but I think what you're suggesting is too much, Constantine. Maybe some kind of alliance or defense pact?

I know, PaKo, I should be posting in the other thread but I'm just lazy...

Holy Roman Empire

my history professor once said:

It wasn't Holy

It wasn't Roman

it wasn't even a real Empire

Nope, the fight between the pope and the HR Emperor about who had the right to appoint bishops was more than 200 years earlier.

..But EU is a game of alternative history...Maybe the fight comes up anew... So I ´m looking forward how the HRE is being implemented in EU II...
