So, I am playing Ottoman Empire. 1749. For last 30 - 40 years I literally wasn't observing anything happening in the world as I was busy fighting super epic alliance wars with: Russia, Mughals, Scandinavia, Great Britain, Spain, Portugal -> literally half of the world. I won all these wars with lesser or bigger gain. Suddenly I get an info about Austria making renovatio imperii and my jaw drops.
Fun fact: for the entire game Austria was complete failure and in the beginning of 18th century they barely had any allies + there were 4/8 reforms passed (all by Saxony) so I was sure they pose no threat.
Anyway, here comes something so INCREDIBLY BROKEN I am pretty sure to report it as bug:
- Literally like 2 weeks after formation HRE emperor dies leaving a regent, thus I calm down, I have time to prepare. This is OK.
- ...Wait for it. There was a super weak coalition leftover from 30 - 40 years ago, which consisted of Naples, Tuscany, few countries like Wurzburg and weak Austria. WHEN AUSTRIA FORMED HRE IT 'INHERITED' COALITION. NOW GUESS WHAT HAPPENED. COME ON, GUESS. ONE MONTH AFTER HRE APPEARING 5 - PROIVNCE NAPLES DECLARE WAR ON ME AND OF COURSE HOLY ROMAN EMPIRE IS AGAINST ME.
Now, why this is terrifying?
Because HRE has 600 000 soldiers.
To compare, second biggest military power in the world is me, with 150 000 of them, but I still only regenerated 1/2 of my (huge) manpower from previous war.
I am allied with France (100 000), Commonwealth (60 000) and few insignificant marches/countries in Asia.
What the hell I am supposed to do?
Also, HRE has 600 000 soldiers but force limit of only 200 - are they going to completely break economically/have to delete them soon or AI receives some terrifying bonus here?
