Some advice for my 2nd Ironman game (prussia)

[Korvash]

Current state:
Country: Prussia
Year: 1528
Ruler: Regency Council (4/0/2) with a 4 year old Caesar (6/5/6) waiting (most likely he'll get an accident).
Lands: From Mecklenburg & Altmark to Kurland (all Original, B'burg, Pommeranian, TO lands + a few)
Subjects: Vassalized Riga (it controls all of the Livonian Order), PU'ed Hamburg
Alliances: Bohemia (it has conquered 1/2 of Hungary), Brunswick and England
Rivals: Denmark (it lost Sweden, who also Rivalled me), Poland and Lithuania. (Poland lost Lithuania soon after I made it give back TO lands to my (now integrated) TO vassal)
My ideasgroups: Influence (completed), Offensive (completed), Humanist (half-way)
Techs: At military i'm at +160%, adm +30% and dip -10%

I wanted to go Reformed, but because I want to lead the Protestant League (aiming for Peace of Westphalia) I'm fully protestant now (it also helps with getting the ideas), maybe I'll do that later.

I broke my Alliance with Austria because I'll have to fight them in the League wars and want to set up my alliances in preparation. I couldn't ally England with Austria as an ally. Muscovy is open to allying with me. France is not (too many great power alliances -100).


I'd like some advice on:
- What can I do during my regency counil?
- What ideagroup should I pick next?
- I think the league wars get enabled at 1550, so I have 22 years to prepare

What do you get from the peace of Westphalia? I havent experienced it yet but im also playing Bburg.

Hi,

If the Catholics win: only catholics can become electors and emperor
If the Protestants win: only protestants can become electors and emperor

3rd outcome
Peace of Westphalia: All christian denominations can become elector and emperor (catholic, protestant, reformed even orthodox)

Any Christian faith can be emperor.
Otherwise it is just Catholics, or just Protestants (I feel Reformed should be part of this).

Peace of Westphalia is p bad and a let down imo. Got an event popup and thats it. If possible try to win since you can activate a triggered modifier for being the dominating religon.

 

[Korvash]

But if I win and convert to Reformed, I can't become emperor, yes?
