Is it worth to unite HRE? I just have to click "unite HRE button" and its done but is it not better to stay with 35 vassals? If i understand right after i unite HRE i lose every emperor and reform benefits so that s why im thinkink not to do that. :D

Uniting the HRE will indeed remove all emperor bonuses. I wouldn't unite it myself. Uniting will make you much less powerful overall.

Depends. You can't control what is built in those provinces. You don't get the trade power. You only get half the tax income. You can't directly control armies.

Less powerful = the most powerful nation in the world that can rotflstomp everyone without any effort anyway.
It also has a side effect: the game can quickly become boring...

No matter how many times you beat the crap out of France, it never gets old.

At the point in the game you're at, you're probably already the most powerful nation in the world by far. Uniting or not uniting won't change that.

Well i just United HRE. My land forcelimit is 280k, my manpower is 320k, and income more than 130gold/month. I started this game as Brandenburg so my army is invincible. Ok what now? I probably wait for expansion pack to next month cuz whole my motivation to continue HRE is gone.

It's really up to you. Do you want to own all of Europe? Or colonize the Americas? At the stage in the game that you're at, you're pretty much unstoppable, and were unstoppable before you united the HRE anyway.

You can always load up a different nation and try to defeat the HRE (though you can't if you're using Ironman, and it would be a pain to do). Or start a new game.
