How to appoint electors?

[Flooper X]

I thought there was a "How to..." thread somewhere, but I can't find it, so I'll just start a new thread.

ok, I'm playing as Austria, I'm the HRE, and one elector is lost, so there are 7 left. So I'm thinking "in some AAR it was mentioned that the HRE could appoint new electors, and since I want to assure that I keep the throne, I want to appoint my vassal. So I start looking for a place where you would be able to do this, but I just Can't. So now I ask you wise forumites, how do I appoint electors? can I even appoint electors? and are there any restrictions as to who you can choose?

I think it's beyond our control. IIRC there's an event that handles this, and the probability of acceptance is related to the nation being offered's relations to the emperor.

Yes, IIRC MrT mentioned in his Saxony AAR that there are random events that occur to HRE members offering them to be electors. If they refuse they get some sort of penalty, so most likely they accept. So try and wait it out and see what happens.

In the Demo IIRC you only got -2.00 prestige if you turned down the offer and +2.00 if you accepted it. But I don't know why there is any reason to decline to not accept the offer, does anyone know?

There are several factors. The country most likely to be offered an electorate would be
- In good relations with the Emperor
- A neighbour of the Emperor's realm
- Catholic
- a good boy (low BB)
- have good stability

- A neighbour of the Emperor's realm

I was offered to be an elector by event, playing as Milan and Austria (being the Emperor) , and he was not a neighbour

I think he means modifiers. I guess you've got other modifiers that helped.

Thanks for the info!

Now all I need is the game
