Greeting dear Paradoxians. I though that it would be a good idea to implement some DHE for Burgundy since it's quite a popular country in solo and multiplayer game. Here are some suggestion:



requirement : Constantinople owned by Ottomans, Year is before 1470.

- The Feast of the Pheasant :

Philip the Good organised a feast in the most traditional Burgundian way in Lille in 1454. Being a pious man, at the end of the feast, the Duke proceeded to promote the organisation of a Crusade against the Turks who recently took the Byzantines' Capital.

* Get my armies ready : +1 papal influence a year + 5% moral for 20 years against a certain amount of manpower and money.
* It's not our business : -5 prestige.


requirement : Louis XI rules France, before 1480.

- The League of the Public Weal

Even though king Louis XI of France spent a long time being under the protection of the "Grand Duke of the West", he was quite rude with his former host. His attempts of centralizing the kingdom of France didn't please the feudal lords and a coalition against Louis XI's tyrannical rule eventually formed.

* We should lead the League ! : +50 relation with Provence, Britanny, Palatinate and Cleves, - 50 relation with France
* Let's negociate with the king : +25 relation with France, +0.2 year of income.


Requirement : Year is at least 1470, need high prestige.

- A Crown for a King :

Both Philip the Good and Charles the Bold were desperate to elevate their duchy into a kingdom. A crown would bring coherence to the disorganized possession of Burgundy. In order to get the title of King, we have to deal with the Emperor.

*Accept the terms of the Emperor : In exchange of gold (a lot) and a wedding with Austria, get the Kingdom rank, prestige and claims over Savoy.
Austria is garanted to get the Low-Countries in case of inheritance.

*We will not deal with the Habsburg : -15 prestige.


requirement : Flanders does not exist, Burgundy owns flanders.

- Taxes in the Low-Countries

While our possessions in ducal Burgundy are used to taxes, the cities of the low-countries have long been privileged. Perhaps, now that these lands are firmly into our hands, the flemish merchants could contribute more to the finances of Burgundy.

*Their money is my money : Burgers - 15 loyalty, gain + 15% taxes and + 2 unrest until the end of the campaign on Vlaanderen and Gent
*Let's confirm these privileges : Burgers + 15 loyalty, + 10 provincial trade power and - 2 revolt risk until the end of the campaign on Vlaanderen and Gent.

Always bothered me a bit that the Burgundian flavor file is basically all about the dissolution of their state. I'd love to add more stuff to them but I can't make promises as to when that will happen. Saving this thread for future reference :)

EDIT: This also means this is a good place to add more suggestions for Burgundy if anyone has them.

@Trin Tragula

Here are hybrid France-Burgundy suggestions as well:

Should it become Arles? Or stay as Burgundy and become a kingdom.
Arles would be cool, formables are always super important. It could also have multiple choices, as Arles might make the Kingdom more French-centric, while Burgundian more ready to absorb the German lands and Walloons and claims/culture acceptance could change to account for this. Perhaps Arles would give claims or even cores on lands historically a part of Arles, maybe new ideas? and making Occitan an accepted culture, while Burgundy would allow you to integrate Nevers and one of the PU's for free and give some claims on land.
