Lost Prussian ideas when formed HRE

[Lord Kenny]

Was just wondering if this is working as intended.

I thought that when you form the HRE with a Major Power like Austria or Prussia you keep your original ideas.

In my case i would have preferred to keep my prussian ideas over the german ones.

Thanks alot in advance for a reply

That's odd. I just formed the HRE in my Austria game and I kept my national ideas.

HRE formation does not change your national ideas, are you playing with some kind of mod?

never heard of this before but perhaps it reverts to the ideas of original tag ie did you go to prussia as an opm with german ideas like pommerania?

in my Austria iron man game i formed the hre. One day i was about to start the game and at the screen before starting the game it said i had the German ideas instead of Austria. I was about to foam at the mouth in outrage. I decided before getting to upset i would start the game and see if i still had those ideas. To my relief i had my Austrian ideas.

Did that happen to you?

It's possible that in the nation selection screen it doesn't check which ideas a nation actually has (only relevant for formations, really) and just shows the default.

First off thanks for replies.

I reloaded my last Prussia save game before I formed hre and now I kept the Prussian ideas. So I guess it was a bug.

Only thing I did different was not releasing Teutonic order as vassal to gain authority. Maybe that messed it up last time.

It is just a visual bug, your ideas should still be prussian when you start the game.

That is not only possible, but true! When I formed Germany with Brandenburg once I freaked out a little when I saw German Ideas when I wanted to load it, but fortunately I did still have Prussian ideas, they just show the normal national ideas for a country on the loading screen. Same thing then happened with the HRE as well for me.

That also explains how when we went from 1.1 to 1.2, my Ryukyu game pretended I had the Ryukyu ideas when in truth I kept the generic ones I started the game with.
