HRE Question

[bman1234]

This is sort of a follow up to my "Marching Austrians" question. In that thread we established that once the HRE gains entry to a country by sending troops into a province that is part of the HRE that belongs to that country, the HRE can then march anywhere within said country, regardless of treaty or war/peace status.

Okay, but what is wrong with this? As a rich Venice, I finally managed to get elected Holy Roman Emperor. Accomplished this largely by yearly subsidies to all the Elector States. Problem is, although I am now the Emperor, I cannot send Venetian troops into other countries that are part of the Empire, e.g., Austria, Baden, etc. I thought that as Emperor, my troops can march anywhere within the Empire, like the Austrians discussed above when they held the Imperial throne.

Anyone care to explain why I can't? Thanks in advance.

Not a clue. What are you're relations like with other nations? Im not an EU2 expert so relations might not actually make any difference.

You will have to be a bit more specific. Into what province are you trying to move, from what province? What is your diplomatic status with the target nation? Are you at war with anyone? If not, you can't have MA with the member countries, IIRC.

You have to be at war with someone to get the right of passage. One war, anywhere, should give you passage through the entire HRE like you expect. If you were at war and are still having trouble, I don't know what's going on--I've certainly gotten access myself as HRE with various countries.

Note this does mean you can't "blitz" by dumping armies on someone's borders in preparation for an attack, if that's what you were hoping for. And be warned, in some (all?) patches, this can mean you get armies stuck in the middle of the empire when you make peace and they can't march home again.

Which really does suck royally so watch out.

Thanks for the suggested reasons for the problem. I will go back to the game and get more specific information.
