Alt. Post Unification Germany

[SorelusImperion]

I found it surprising that there is no threat for events wich should happen to a United Germany/HRE Thus I opened this one to start some discussions.

So far I have converted some of the most obvious events wich SHOULD happen to a Germany if united by reform:

#-#The revolt begun in Prague after the royal letter of Bohemia had been recalled. Two royal officers were hurled from a window by Protestant members of the Bohemian diet out the window into a pile of dung, in deliberate imitation of the incident which had kicked off the Hussite rebellion two hundred years before, the first defenstration of Prague (July, 1419). Ferdinand was declared deposed and the Bohemian throne was offered to Frederick V, the elector palatine. With this Bohemian Revolt the massacres of the so-called Thirty Years War officially started in the Holy Roman Empire.

#-#With the creation of a Legislative Assembly to limit the monarchic power, several reasons pushed France towards war in 1792. Internally, the republican party of the Girondins were calling for a war to rid Europe of monarchy and despotism but also to rid France of any internal reactions. Externally, the nobility, the socalled emigrés, fleeing to Austria and Prussia requested that those powers intervene to restore the French monarchy. Louis XVI, king of the French, saw in a war failure the possibility to restore absolutism. But the dissolution of the Ancien Régime in France alarmed all the European royal courts fearing that the French Jacobinism would have spread in the whole continent and provoked deep destabilization inside their own absolutist government systems.

#-#The first phase of the Thirty Years War saw the defeat of the rebellious protestant nobles of Bohemia who were punished severely and their lands expropriated because of their decision to to depose Ferdinand of Austria in favor of the Protestant Palatine elector as Bohemian king. Consequently religious persecutions began in Bohemia to eradicate Protestantism from that land. To penalize Friedrich V of the Palatinate and to reward Maximilian of Bavaria, Ferdinand deprived Friedrich of his electorate and of the Upper Palatinate and granted both to Bavaria. That was an obvious violation of imperial law, but since no German prince was really in a position to defy Ferdinand and Maximilian, it was done and Maximilian had achieved a recognition proportionate to his power. An unsuccessful attempt to help the Lutheran rulers of neighboring Lower Saxony made by King Christian IV of Denmark who, himself a Lutheran and, as Duke of Holstein, an Imperial nobleman, feared that Denmark's sovereignty as a Protestant nation was being threatened. The Danish army was routed by the fiercer imperial troops under the command of Albrecht von Wallenstein, who was given by Emperor Ferdinand II free hand in pillaging all the territories his army would have crossed or captured from the enemy. The victories of the Catholic League against the German Protestant princes persuaded Ferdinand II to issue the Edict of Restitution with the intention to take back the Lutheran holdings that were, according to the Peace of Augsburg, rightfully the possession of the Catholic Church. So this brief document purported to do no more than enforce the terms of the Peace of Augsburg. However, the interpretation put on that document was that which had been urged by partisans of Catholicism. Thus it became the source of outrage for King Gustav II Adolphus of Sweden (the Lion of the North) who, like Christian IV before him, came to aid the German Lutherans to forestall Catholic aggression against their homeland and to obtain economic influence in the German states around the Baltic Sea which were threatened by the imperial authority.

Also I think there should some events handling the relations with Poland and France as well as some German reaction to the Spanish succession crises (Under no circumstances Germany would tolerate a unified Franco Spanish Empire)

What I have created for personal purposes is also an event where Germany has conquered most of Poland along with an accordingly modified event to simulate reduced royal/Imperial power and taxes within the Polish dominions.

#At the beginning of the 17th century Poland saw a drastic turnover in its cultural life. Up to this date Poland's material culture was just like that on the West. But it changed. Polish nobiles started to believe in myth that they are descendants of an ancient nomadic people named Sarmatians. That gave name to this cultural movement - Sarmatism. Sarmatism was famous for its unique 'Polish' costumes (in fact it was a mixture of Hungarian and Turkish costumes), art, way of life and even way of speaking in intentionally incorrect Polish. Unfortunately, soon the main virtues of Sarmatism degenerated. Patriotism turned into xenophobia, hospitality into massive drunkenness, love of tradition into social and political conservatism, pride into ferocity. Sarmatism did not affect only the westernmost parts of the country. Elsewhere it went out of fashion in the second half of 18th century when Poland returned to the Western ways.

Additional events might be created to handle the Reformations and perhaps regular events to simulate the role of the Reichstag.

 

[unmerged(36449)]

Some interesting ideas, not that I agree with all of them, but they are interesting.

First a couple of comments: Please try to write the events dynasty neutral since some events will not make much sense vis a vis Bohemia if the Emperor is not Austrian, and therefore NOT the King of Bohemia (or in case of certain events firing correctly Bavarian etc).

And if you could write an event that has been overlooked since the inception of the unification of Germany event chain first came into being; the creation of the Burgundian circle! This would happen far more easily then the creation of a Bohemian one as the lands were integral parts of the Kingdom of Germany.

I do agree that there needs to be events for the unified HRE. Most especially the collected flavor events from the various component states should happen to the unified nation.

 

[SorelusImperion]

These were only some quick conversions for my own savegame where I united the Empire with the Habsburg Dynasty (and inherited Bohemia early on) but of course you are right it would sound strange if an event mentions a Habsburg Emperor when the Hohenzollern are on the throne.


Bohemia wich albeit no part of Germany was nevertheless an important and integral part of the Holy Roman Empire as a whole. Never forget that Prag was for a time the 'center' of the Empire under Charles IV thus Boehmia deserves an event chain wich adresses it's relation with a reformed Empire and it's eventual inclusion under the right circumstances. While it may perhaps retain a special status and remain outside of the regular Imperial circles I can not imagine the Emperor giving up territory wich is by all rights his to rule and where his control is probably stronger and easier to achieve than in Italy.

[Jebus]

The thing is, almost none of those events apply if you, for instance, united Germany with Brandenburg - something which most people prefer.

 

[SorelusImperion]

A Problem with Brandenburg and a Germany united via reform is that most of Brandenburgs events are related to Prussia thus I did not want to create/convert those events without knowing wich should be converted at all. For instance we do not know yet wether a united Germany should inherit Prussia at all especialy since it was not yet agreed upon wether a united Habsburg Germany should inherit Bohemia. Last but not least the only working option is the way through Reform wich in effect creates the Holy Roman Empire represented by Germany as it was essentialy the only part of the Empire with exeption of Bohemia where the Emperor had any influence left.

The Trigger conditions for the Army reforms of von Scharnhost and von Stein might be changed since I can imagine that these brilliant minds might have been employed by non-Hohenzollern Emperors as well. Instead the trigger should include a condition to identify a situation where teh Empire has suffered a defeat against Napoleonic France.

 

[rybka]

dont get me worng, but i dont like some events. mostly they are only benefits, for example you get czech culture and cores in bohemia, dont you think you should lower centralisation for example?
as for poland, also reduction of centralisation would be nice and increase of aristocracy, also if you grant preivileges to polish nobilty there is no way others wont ask you: why the hell we dont heve same rights? granting privileges should further reduce centralisation and increase aristocracy

additionaly i dont think that if you united germany as other country than austria you should get czech culture

 

[SorelusImperion]

I think czech culture should be dependent wether you have legal claims on the crown of Bohemia and aquire the therritory more or less peacefull. A third factor may be wether you actualy unite/reform the Holy Roman Empire (current event path) or unite Germany wich needs some event for the dissolution of the Holy Roman Empire and may be placed during the Napoleonic Era. As I said the posted events are only the first version To create a better event chain for the integration of Bohemia and Burgundy (and perhaps even Poland wich would offer an interesting possibility for new conflicts within the Empire) I need feedback proposals etc.

Bohemia
Important issues for now are:
-WHEN should Bohemia be integrated into the Empire
-Who will get the option to do so (Habsburgs only ????)
-How should it happen (Resistance from Hussites/Protestants ?)
-Should it somhow connected with Hungarian, Polish or French reactions ?
-Maybe an event chain like the China's attempt to hold on Dai Viet ?

My personal opinion:
Habsburg should gain the option to integrate Bohemia via the regular inheritance path (gaining czech culture in the process) or military intervention during the 30 years war (perhaps changing some Bohemian provinces to german culture). A possible 3rd option could include a step by step annexiation of Bohemia (reasons may be Turkish threat)
Other Dynastys should as well gain one option to integrate it peacefully sacreficing stability in the process and making further centralization more difficult albeit not impossible.

Poland
Since I there is no confirmation yet that events for German claims on the Polish crown are desired I consider them not very important. Modifications will happen if there is enough interest (lower centralization for example is already inclueded). You may have also noticed that I mentioned that accepting the proposal would result in problems with the German nobility but instead of including it in the first event I intend to create an own event chain for the consequences. Last but not least Poland like Bohemia would remain semi-autonomous thus the rights of the Polish magnates may very well differ from Imperial law within the German Crown lands but of course it would still result in resistance from the German nobility.

Tomorrow I will take a look at Wittelsbach flavour events and add them.

 

[kolmy]

What about a alternative unification of Germany by the Hussites making him a client state? Looks a bit strange no? But I think it should be fun, what you think?

 

[unmerged(28056)]

I always thought that the events relating strictly to the Habsburgs should be applicable to a Habsburg Germany. Like the claims on Hungary, Bohemia, union with Spain, etc.* So this is definately a good idea.

*- semi-related question: If you don't support Ladislaus' claim to the Hungarian and Bohemian thrones do you have no chance as Austria to gain Bohemian/Hungarian cores?

Oh, and one other, unrelated question: if Poland inherits Bohemia, do the Habsburgs have any chance of getting it or is Bohemia a part of Poland for the rest of the game?

 

[unmerged(36449)]

The thing is, almost none of those events apply if you, for instance, united Germany with Brandenburg - something which most people prefer.

Some people may prefer it, but they are IMHO just a bit off the mark historically for the era. Brandenburg really was not much of a "player" during the era that you can form Germany through the current events. The major dynastic players were Austria, and Bavaria both of whom had provided the last few emperors; and while Austria was a power on the rise Bavaria was on the wane but still very potent.

The people that go the Brandenburg route are being far to influenced by the history of later centuries.

I don't understand the centralization hit for absorbing Bohemia, that by definition IS a centralizing event for the empire as it centralizes the governance of its' territory by removing an intermediary layer of bureaucracy.

Do agree on the Polish points. Better to rule Poland as a vassal then to try and absorb her and her customs into the empire. Because EVERYONE and their uncle are going to want "Polish" rights in the nobility.

And I don't agree on Bohemia. There is no reason that it should be Hapsburg specific, since there is no guarantee that they WILL be the rulers of Bohemia in the game (high probability, but no sure thing).

 

[Anazagar]

Well yeah but it is in teh same time adding new territories that need to be adapted to the centralised administration of the empire so a hit of -1 or -2 would be justified

Oh, and one other, unrelated question: if Poland inherits Bohemia, do the Habsburgs have any chance of getting it or is Bohemia a part of Poland for the rest of the game?

as I recall if you abandon the claims you abandon the claims. If Poland or Bavaria inherit the Bohemian throne the only chance Austria has of getting it back is on a battlefield or by massive revolts peeling away the provinces upto and including founding Bohemia itself. But if this happens after a certain year you won't inherit the country because window on the event that does that has closed.

 

[rybka]

Personally i dont see why any other country besides austria should get czech culture, noone should get it, it would be pure fantasy and i prefer not to have such fantasy in agceep, whats the next step getting italian culture? come on, fantasy should have some limits

 

[unmerged(36449)]

I can see that point. I am just wondering if there is a better way of simulating that then hitting the DP settings. Because I am not sure if it would take a decade to get them up to speed and it sure shouldn't take 20 years; which is what is being reflected in a -1 or -2 to centralization.

At the very worst I can see this being handled nicely by the revenue losses inherent in nationalism in the newly absorbed provinces reflecting inefficiencies in the transition from one form of bureaucracy to another.

Now given that you no longer take a centralization hit for annexing your vassals I would think that should give us a clue as to how to handle it.

And what is your justification for Austria having it?

And be aware that there are several other nations that also have events that can have them inherit Bohemia, so your most likely answer is rendered moot; because in the game the only reason that Austria gets it is because they inherit the Bohemian throne...

 

[SorelusImperion]

It will take some more time to convert the next event series since I have to do some preparation for my studies at the university.

Concerning the discussion I fully agree to bobtdwarf and I have to repeat that Bohemia was in these days considered an important and integral part of the Empire. Assuming that the German territorys of Holy Roman Empire were effectively reformed transforming them into a base of Power for the Emperor it would not be far fetched but instead the logical next step of the Emperor would be to take care of the Imperial territorys not beeing part of the Kingdom of Germany. The Italian Princedoms and Republics were virtualy independent already but Flandres and Bohemia were not just take a look at the thirty years war and the relations between Bohemia and the German princes and the Emperor HECK BOHEMIA WAS AN ELECTOR. It is a realistic version that Germany wich is representing a reformed HRE if founded by the present event chain is able to gain Bohemian and perhaps even Dutch culture. Thus if the Emperor manages to integrate these territorys without major atrocitys the population would not feel a sudden urge to resist him. And effectively both Bohemia and Flandres (plus the Burgundian circle) deserve the same treatment as the other German electors resulting in them beeing annexed by the Empire or ending up as battlefield if the Emperor is not successfull in doing so (perhaps because Poland protects Bohemia). It will be easier for the Habsburgs due to their dynastical claims though.


If a Poland-Germany chain as will be integrated I am also in favour of changing the cores to a vassal relationship with Poland getting some German monarchs or some sort of Regency.

 

[Anazagar]

I can see that point. I am just wondering if there is a better way of simulating that then hitting the DP settings. Because I am not sure if it would take a decade to get them up to speed and it sure shouldn't take 20 years; which is what is being reflected in a -1 or -2 to centralization.

Now given that you no longer take a centralization hit for annexing your vassals I would think that should give us a clue as to how to handle it.

Then maby an event that would make the player decide weather he wants to incorporate Bohemia the quick and rash way (no - cent but some kind of rebelions) or the long and peacefull way (-cent but no rebelions). Plus i think that we should create an event taht would trigger somewhere in teh early XVII, which would change the culture of some provinces to german rather than giving the germany czech culture. The same with dutch.

 

[SorelusImperion]

Changing the Dutch provinces to German culture could be an option since essentialy the "Dutch" were considered Germans for a very long time. Nevertheless I would be carefull here since I think we should keep the option for a dutch autonomy within the Empire open (especialy due to religious reasons) same goes for Bohemia plus the Czech had a much more distinct culture and language and changing their provinces to German culture would only be the result of mass persecutions or a VERY VERY VERY long assimilation process. In reality Czech nobles and commons were quite adaptive to the "Foreign" rule thus the Empire deserves czech culture even more so since the Emperor was since Barbarossa the legal suzerain of the King(-dom) of Bohemia.

Netherlands and Belgium:
My proposal
1st Germany gets Dutch culture with the creation of the Burgundian circle
2nd When the Dutch revolts start the culture will be removed and the usual c.a. 100 years long process of subjugating the Netherlands will happen.

3rd The catholic dutch provinces (Flandres, Brabant,) will be changed to german culture after 1648 If the Empire is successfull in defeating the rebels this allows an effective administration of "Belgium" while keeping some provinces wich would not be as adaptive to Imperial rule.

Some additional Ideas floating in my mind:
-Perhaps an additional option to grant the Netherlands some autonomy (If the Emperor is Protestant or Reformed) ?
-Creation of a Dutch East India Company/Imperial Dutch dominon formaly beeing subject to the Empire but having (like Italy) virtualy complete independence and at the same time offering refugee for Protestant/Reformed dutch people who fled from Europe. It would take up some colonial provinces wich would otherwise be occupied by Britain or France and follows the pattern of the description text wich appears after you have defeated the dutch.



Bohemia:
If it is Habsburg Germany will inherit Bohemia gaining czech culture, the commander Wallenstein (to be added to the leader file) and suffer the same consequences as in every creation of a new Reichskreis.

If another nation has united Germany Bohemia will become a vassall upon the Habsburg inheritance (Habsburg Dynasty ruling in Bohemia but still being subject to the Emperor).

At the time when the Prager Fenstersturz occurs a non-Habsburg Germany will have two/four (2 each event) options depending on it's religion:

If Protestand/Reformed
Main choice would be: Support Bohemian protestants against the Habsburgs
-war against Habsburg Bohemia and perhaps a revolting Austria (needs to be balanced to prevent it from beeing to easy)
What the Results would be I can not yet imagine.

If Catholic/Counter Reformed
Main choice would be: Support the Habsburgs
-war against Protestant Bohemia and it's supporters effectively resulting in something like the 30 years war)
The Results would be
-Germany gaining control over Bohemia changing some of the border provinces to German culture if an oppressive solution is chosen
-Germany restoring the Habsburgs and the Imperial Diet does not accept the Pragmatic sanction. Bohemia will be "inherited" by the Emperor through Imperial law when Maria Theresia would become Queen of Bohemia
-Germany restoring the Habsburgs and the Imperial Diet accepts the Pragmatic sanction
-Complete independence of Bohemia if the Empire looses the war

In any case the consequences of the foundation of a Reichskreis should apply to Bohemia too (slightly reduced manpower and taxes)

IIRC, the AGCEEP FAQ stated that Burgundy was not really considered an integral part to the HRE by this time and as such the team orignally decided against an event for the creation of a Burgundian circle for that reason. Is it really plausible to make a Burgundian circle in the early 1500s?
