Ideas for germany:
-missions to expand to eastern europe as historicaly germans started moving there
- event for the germanisation of these regions
- colonial missions
- germany should have the orders as vassals or marches
- austria annex

Possibly make all the the Western bank of the Rhine part of HRE?

It would create conflict between France and Germany, and it would possibly allow for some more princess to be released....

Maybe missions for france to conquer territory for the hre

Good day, after having played this mod a handful of times, both watching and playing as them, I have noticed the chances of them doing well are incredibly slim. As the Emperor, 'France' is incredibly weak compared to how Austria was while it was Emperor during the non-modded 1444 start. Perhaps you would be willing to split up Aragon into smaller states and add them into the Empire, and (if you have the time, I'm not trying to make demands lol) make the 'iberian wedding' event between Castile and Portugal, that would be awesome! Just a suggestion though.

I already thought France would have some troubles being emeperor. Adding Barcelona to the HRE immediately at the start date is definetely worth considering.
Also adding some more provinces from Germany to the HRE (while they're still german claim) is also interesting.
The Iberian Wedding would also make sense if Aragon is weakened, soo maybe I will add it too.

Hey, look at that. My input actually did something, well there is a first time for everything. I'll continue trying this mod more, and if I notice anything else, I'll let you know.

That would defeat the point as France would not release all the nations as independent princes, having it be part of the HRE would

a) create potential for more princes to be create
b) add more conflict to Germany and France, without weakening either of them
c) It would worsen the French situation if they wait for too long though.

yea good point

Just played as Germany and unholy hell, is Germany OP in this one. Sure, it's not that bad at the start, but you can easily beat the crap out of Denmark and have INFINITE MONEYS which you can then use to beat poland, IF they aren't already battered by the Ottomans at that point (which may even be able to ally to makes things even more laughable). Getting to be HREmperor is also pretty easy, even more so if you go Protestant HRE. And then you just snowball ad infininum. Add your provinces to HRE and make the vassel swarm work for you, grab Union with Britian.

Only thing I can think of would be to delay Germany. So can't have already conquered half of the Baltics, Scandinavia and Poland by the 1550s. As taking even more development from it would make the point of calling it GERMANY kind of useless the only thing I can think of would be a "War of the Roses" style event disaster at the beginning of the game, which you could make lead into a debuff that gives massively incread hostile core creation cost on germany while SEVERLY nerving it's military until you finish a mission chain. Stuff that might work for that would be having all provinces prosperous to remove one part of the debuff, and having a certain development in other to remove another part of the debuff. Start the game with maybe only one fort and forces you to build some.

Also,.. maybe give Hungary and Austria a bigger one with the buff stick, without HRE the ottomans have it WAY too easy in that direction. OR buff the Mamluks to offset that.

please, create a custom "County of Zaragoza"

put the reforms names in french as the empire is french not german

You should probably change the monarch names and other names in the Common/HRE.txt file to French names rather than German names so that if you form the Holy Roman Empire as France you don't have German names.

Can you change the bonus of reformes or at least make their name more frenchy.

Arguably a minor thing, but I'd suggest making Germany just a Kingdom rather than an Empire. They weren't an Empire until they were crowned Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire by the pope. But that's just me being a nerd. That mission tree is unholy powerful.
