Cyprus is permanent HRE - how to change HRE in Save file?

[pgroves]

Hi - Cyprus revolted from Venice and at some point became Holy Roman Emperor, but because Cyprus has run out of Monarch's it has a permanent "Cypriot Council" monarch, so will stay HRE to the end of the game, which doesn't seem right (it's 1624 BTW). I would prefer to transfer the HRE title to Austria, what do I have to edit in the save game file? I can't see anything obvious in the entry for Cyprus, the only line which mentions the HRE is this one:

flags = { [FTG_no_HREflag] = no [Random_MinorRef] = no }

I'm playing the latest FTG 1.3 beta with the latest AGCEEP beta + patch for 1.3, if it makes any difference. I'm playing the Safavid Empire.

You need to search for "emperor = ". It should be one of the first entries under globaldata.

Great, thanks, that worked, have Ferdinand II of Austria is now the Holy Roman Emperor!

Such monarchs should be marked "emperor = no" in mods to prevent this kind of difficulty.

I agree!
