[tutorial] Force Yourself into HRE

[Siu-King**]

A short tutorial showing the trick how to force relocate yourself into the HRE -
it works wonder when you can't get enough +opinion with the emperor/ally or get a province next to the HRE to join normally.

For example:
Irish OPMs
Albania/Naxos/Knights/Cyprus/Greek minors etc.
Theodoro!
etc

How do you join HRE as Burgundy?

@CoolSpin you sell your cap to France/Concede it to France.

When I tried this with Theodoros, I couldn't annex his province. Was it too far away or did I miss something ?

 

[Dutchman251]

Yes, there is something out there called a coring range. You can evade that by vassalizing someone first, then taking a province next to your new vassal.

Could someone but this in a text? After 5 minutes hearing him talk that he has not good enough relation with the emperor I stopped watching.

(Sorry if that reply is too late) What you need to do is to acquire an HRE province, then lose all your other provinces which will automatically move your capital to your last remaining province, which happens to be in the HRE, so you become a prince of the HRE. This strategy works as any religion, in fact it is the only way to join the HRE as a non-Christian country (did this once as Sunni Granada).
