I've Figured it out!

[draco]

A while back I was reading a thread that had to do about relation to ones own nation. The reason for this is that if everybody had perfect relations to themselves the would only vote for themselves in the HRE elections. So by having relations for oneself it discourages conquers n that way I've not found any other reason for having one. If someone else has an idea please post it here. And I apologize if someone else has already posted this.

That's pretty much all we can think of. But we alter them to +200 anyway because it's plain stupid that you can't support yourself in an election. If you own every single HRE province, then you ARE the Emperor, or something is very wrong.

Who cares beeing voted for the emperor if you just control all of the HRE, oh, well expept for the 50 VPs.

 

[Vulture]

It IS a fancy title for sure

 

[Licou]

Arrrggg..... When at least 300,000,000,000,000 soldiers have died for you to take that damn HRE, you don't care to be fancy i think

 

[Vulture]

Do you REALLY need that much soldiers to take over the HRE? You aren't that good at this game, are you?

 

[Licou]

I'm talking about the soldiers of the other nations

 

[Vulture]

Aye sure you were

 

[Licou]

Hey, it's because i never annexed the whole world (china and nippon survived at my french tyrany) that I ain't a good player .

 

[Vulture]

Of course not... i did not say that you know

 

[Licou]

lol, what were you saying then?

What does HRE mean?Can you really have elections for Emperor?

 

[Licou]

Holy Roman Empire.

Yes, there is an election each time the old emperor dies, the first emperor is Austrian

 

[Vulture]

HRE is Holy Roman Empire, when speaking about the leader we say Holy Roman Empire. The empire can be seen by picking the religious map in EU. The area within the red borders is the HRE.
No real elections are present. The PC will appoint an Emperor every now and then.

I assume you know the plusses of being Emperor?

 

[BiB]

U can strut around like u own the HRE place

 

[Licou]

Yeah, but it's a pain to become an emperor.

Hey something strange, with my game with france, I won like 3/4 of the world, and i got elected holy roman emperor, I mean, you would figure that they choose someone with better relation with catholics.

 

[BiB]

Still it seems u got the best relations with the electors

 

[Licou]

Hey, I am the only elector, and it seems that the 2 left catholic nation (Me and the knigth) prefers.... ME!

And i know, i am to lazy to get does pesky homosexual knigths.

Right after I posted my question I figured out what HRE meant.I guess I looked kindda stupid asking what HRE meant while I carry the flag of Papal States .Why is it such a pain to become emperor?And I guess they dont elect monarchs of the far east countries unless you change the religion from pagan to catholic in the scenario file?I have a IGC game with Papal States but I havent played long enough yet to have the Austrian emperor die.Do they ever elect the Papal State monarch as emperor?I've had EU for a while but I just got really into it.

 

[BiB]

Any catholic/CRC country can get elected.
