Problem with HRE is that its troops are far inferior to the low-cost ones from Venice and Milan, it happened in all my modded games to see the HRE become vassal of Milan with the latter become the middle-europe superpower.


Ur right m8 : had similar problem just now; at turn 85 ( 1Y/t ) HRE was left with just two castles !!!!!

as i wrote before, Mil & Den have just 500 fl kings purse ! whereas HRE 4000 !!! & 10k start . Im at vh/vh & because this I just got that soft feeling for HRE.....
thus ....

I smashed Mil = peace got Dijon - gave it to HRE ; went to Den, smashed in open field got that fortress up north & frankfurt - which i gave it to HRE + additional 10000 fl from my total of 12000 ,
ofcource HRE is in love with me; i can pas with troops where ever i want in their regions np at all.
But as this forum is supposed to be a mod one :

common guys lets do something about HRE when we play as some buddy else. hello ! HRE was a power !! I want , lets say as UK to be able to fight'em in their coolest being some 50 turns latter ....
