Naw, they've got 0 manpower and a bunch of mercs, so they're getting crushed in a war. AI will go into debt and bankrupt itself to win a war.

It is fairly easy to accomplish this as Austria if done right. So it doesn't really fit in the strange category here.

Here is my early Hessen game and it is going very well and I have two subjects and most of HRE is either protestant or reformist. Nothing special other than I am going for the Hessen Merc achievement.
I took a look around and spot a strange map reveal. I can understand why I know of Nogai/Persia/Delhi etc..., Austria asked for map and it got shared across culture group, but Irkutsk?

They might be allied with someone you fought a war with, or in some relationship with them. That unveils capitals. Still REALLY weird.
I suppose it depends on which country has PU on which. In this case I don't find it particularly strange.
Nope Austria asked for map for Maghreb region. There was a pop up for that. Since most of HRE are virtually all german culture group. So map knowledge of that area is revealed rather quickly. Not that strange and I never fought any war outside of Europe especially since I am a very small Hessen.
I would have noticed if I was at war with Persia or Delhi for example.
If I ever get into a war somehow with a county covered by TI I would go out of my way to walk solder around TI to expose the map if the war isn't going that very bad.
WTF with these GH alliances? Only catholic states, 4 of them being in the HRE, and 3 of them being OPM inside the HRE. What is going through Bek Bulat Genghisid's mind?

Sound like they have lot of common enemies somewhere and they just happen to like each other? Not that strange really. Especially French-Ottoman in real life history did that.

Though the Ottomans wasn't an unstable horde and France wasn't a tiny German state surrounded by other German states.

Common ennemies? None of them have any common ennemies.
Maybe Brandenburg is threatened by Poland in GH mind, even if clearly, not at all, considering Poland is in a pretty bad shape and the Empire is strong. But none of the others make any sense from an EU4 perspective. Bosnia is probably only threatened by Hungary and the Ottomans, and the HRE OPM are threatened by noone the Golden Horde even knows about, tbh. I have no idea which modifiers allowed the AI to get these alliances.

Is the HRE gearing up for the League War? The AI gets very friendly with all other league members, so my guess would be that those nations and the Great Horde all joined the same league.
Considering it looks like the Great Horde just got done losing a war, they probably have similar military strength to the OPMs, and were probably forced to annul alliances with past allies, so they are looking for any friends they can get to help against the impending Ottoman or Russian invasion.
A couple of pics from my ongoing Kazan run:
The League War just started: this has got to be the fewest nations getting involved I've ever seen. The leagues only started forming a year or so previous to this point; I guess Denmark saw Bohemia as weak and decided to strike fast (Protestants won easily, even after an Enforce Peace attempt brought France in on the Catholic side).
Not often you see a break-away horde with random ideas survive long enough to fill them out. That finisher though

By common enemies I meant threatened by. Or mutually hostile toward. Either way all I am saying there are modifier that may help strange alliance form especially while religious league is enabled.
Why did anyone downvote what I said earlier I will never know.
I guess the prots won because they didn't have to deal with Bohemia's stupidityIs the HRE gearing up for the League War? The AI gets very friendly with all other league members, so my guess would be that those nations and the Great Horde all joined the same league.

I've noticed nations will do that when they think crippling their enemy is worth more than getting gold for condoterri.
Still weird though, as I don't think Apache even knows of that area?
