Mission: Get Austria to support us for HRE

[ryak2002]

Is this mission completely impossible? I thought that the AI couldn't vote for themself unless they had at least one other elector supporting them, but the HRE interface says Austria has a "strategic interest" in becoming emperor so theyre voting for themselves regardless. The other emperors are split 4 for me 2 for bohemia. I pretty much intend to abandon this mission since so far as i can tell its impossible.

The only way to really secure the vote of large Elector monarchies is to utterly break them, or vassalize/union them.

vassalize austria. I was bohemia and I beat Austria in two wars and each war freed up one country, tirol and styria

war seems to be the only way to accomplish this mission. multiple wars, force release and eventually vassalize.

i think it's a bad mission that pops up way to often for smaller nations. there should be additional checks in the mission potential, such as comparing military might, and if that elector is backing themselves or not

Just abort, it doesn't even give you Cbs to do that, and you will need to beat Austria to a pulp for them to even consider voting for someone who is not them. Probably at least 2-3 wars with lots of infamy and released territories (unless you can get a claim on their throne somehow)
