After trying my first IN game as Bohemia I have noticed 3 strange things.
1 stability.
Seems that even if I dont invest in stability I go very quickly from -2 to + 3 and thats excluding missions. Seems a little easy to me though I must say its an improvement on the whole -3 stab for centurys that occured before in some states.
2 prestige
After vassalising about 8 states and annexing 6 provinces my prestige is in the negative quite deep I must add even though it started quite high. Only negative things I can see is I used spys to fabricate claims(always succesful was quite lucky) and failed to come to the aid of a member of the HRE twice and failed to honour an alliance once. I guess there were a few rejected alliances and marriages also but on the whole I should be high in prestige. No idea why this is and whether or not its a bug?
3 HRE
Over 50% of electors are my vassals on top of that I have good relations with them. Yet some still dont vote for me(I lost one election because of this). I kind of think this is silly. A state that has no foreign policy of its own and must follow me into war when ever I desire shouldnt be able to vote against me in elections. A vassal is more than an ally its just an extension of my realm with a bit of autonomy. I know that there were various types of vassal states with something like moldova having quite a lot of autonomy, while whether Silesia really should be an independent vassal is a bit strange, but either way when I am a candidate for the empire then my vassals should really vote for me and not someone else.
