Teutonic Order Game. I was going for the Baltic Crusader, also got the Rising Sun in the end. Started off by getting into the HRE and used Austria to pound Poland.
Got them to low Prestige and their Union did break. Could then eat through most of what often becomes the Comenwealth. Also allied France which made me nearly invincible towards attacks because Austria as Emperor would always be a Co-Belligerent. Therefore I never cared about AE. After getting everything of Russia I began also turning on Austria which led to me becoming the Emperor. After adding all my conquered land I passed all reforms apart from the last one, making the HRE vassals of me. For the last 50 years or so I was just going after Japan (which got 400k troops from being freed by rebels at a time) and eating the asian lands I could get my hands on. Ended the game by turning on France and feeding some of my vassals.
At 1821, I could form both Prussia or the HRE and I am still duchy rank.
