Need tips: Probably impossible religious league war

[Convictuss]

I'm playing reformed Branderburg. I was doing perfectly fine. Until Evangelical Union. Sides are not balanced in my game unfortunately. Burgundy which was not inherited is a problem. Austria is allied to France, Commonwealth and GB. All of them on catholic side. What's more check screenshoots. Reformation got completely wrong. No big countries, exception for Sweden and me, converted.








What to do to at least get back to whose realm his religion?
They at number me approximately about 5 to 1
PS. How to become a religious league leader?

 

[Pellucid]

You become the leader by fulfilling the game's criteria for being the "most powerful" member of the league. I'd imagine this isn't hopeless as Brandenburg, but you'll have to do a lot of work to divide the enemy forces or try to get them to attack you in unfavorable terrain.

 

[Pellucid]

Oh, and if you do become the leader, try to suck up to Commonwealth. If you can get them on your side it should, needless to say, help immensely.

The problem with commonwealth is that they're allied with both me and austria. As austria is catholic they are more like to stay on catholic side :/. What is more they joined league on catholic side as hungary joined on protestant(they're their rival)

Maybe try allying Russia, Ottomans or Spain?

 

[Convictuss]

Will try but it is hard. I was just wondering if I could dow on commonwealth(still allied to them but break and then dow for some provinces) and try to break them and austria(both would be in war). But I heard that there is problem that league is called in some other wars even if they're not war of the league.
