Tips for Forming the Holy Roman Empire?

Take the Bill of Rights idea, then you get an eternal Liberation CB (less Infamy and more Prestige than Imperial Liberation) on any country anywhere that owns provinces that can be released.

The only things the "Liberation" CB from Bill of Rights reduces infamy on don't give you any in the first place.

I'm having quite a bit of trouble with my games in the HRE. I have the basic stuff down, like making a German minor Emperor and such and grabbing land when I get free cores. However, the nations outside the empire will always become scary blobs with a penchant for guaranteeing everyone around me. If it's not France, it's Austria or Bohemia. Hell, even England messes with mainland Europe sometimes. I still get the first few reforms done but at some point said blob will DOW me and that's pretty much it. I can't keep them from killing off minors and I, likewise, can't consolidate my holdings when they ally/guarantee them.


I'm playing with Death&Taxes but I assume it'd be the same with vanilla EU.

Make sure you border a couple of horde nations. In my last game I bordered three, and every five years I'd rush in, assault a province and demand concede concessions. That would give 30 Imperial Authority every five years.

Still have to figure out a better way to increase relations across the empire though. Sending out dozens of gifts is terribly boring micromanagement.

OK, as Burgandy I went to a lot of trouble to get a province next to the Golden Horde. So every 5 years, they "appear at the doorstep", and I go and beat them, demanding tribute. I demand that they concede defeat and they accept, and.... that's it. I don't get any imperial authority for it. How do you get imperial authority for winning horde wars???

I may be wrong but I suspect this was probably seen as an exploit and then modded out?

IIRC it's been closed in 5.2 (not sure which one thou), because I remember how I get IA that way in 5.1
