Do my Vassals join the HRE (playing as Austria)

[RaMMbAdeDu]

Hi Guys!

What happens if i release , lets say Krakow when im playing Austria.
Would be my Vassal bordering the HRE.
Would he join the Club?

If you add the province to the HRE before releasing the vassal, then yes they'd be in the HRE. Otherwise, no, they won't join it.

pitty.

thought i could save the Coring costs

BTW

To save Admin points i could only core the Capital.
Lets say i release Galizien-Wolonien wich has like 6 provinces, is there a way i can be sure what will be the new Capital???

You can hover over the cores in the province window. For one of the provinces it might say that this is the potential capital or something similar.

THX!
but.... leads me to next Question xD
If I only Core the Capital, so the released Nation gets into the HRE, does it add the rest of the Provinces?
If it doesnt as my Vassal, maybe it does as a released Nation afterwards?
Is there any Guideline or is this somehow Random==??

I'm not sure about vassals, they may be different. But for regular nations they'll usually only add provinces to the HRE if they like the emperor (or are scared of a large neighbour). So assuming they're a loyal vassal I'd expect them to add their other provinces, but I can't say for sure.

I have heard that vassals don't add provinces to the HRE, but I never tried it personally.

[Tulduil Iphukiir]

From my observations subjects (vasals/marches/PU juniors/client states) never add provinces to the HRE (this includes their capital, meaning a subject will never join the HRE).
However I have not tried whether this is a case of "AI just does not do it" or "all subjects are not allowed to add provinces" or "AI subjects are not allowed to add provinces". (Another example of the AI not doing something even if it would be allowed to do is the Emperor demanding to return a province: An AI Emperor will never ask while he is at war while a player can do that)

Independent members add new provinces to the Empire when they have good relations to the Emperor (and an alliance???).

[The Concept of Burgundy]

Subjects are never allowed to add provinces to the HRE.

For anyone finding this old topic like me when searching: As of 1.34, all vassals join HRE if they can when you're the emperor. (You can invite them as well but they join by themselves in a few months anyway.)
