Careful for rapid expansion...you'll start getting really bad revolt rates when you get to many uncored provinces vs cored provinces.

Just noticed. Haha

Revolt after revolt after revolt,

Overextension happened to us x500.

Geez. 

[Kafein]

Try to go for the valuable provinces (rather than the cheap to get ones) while you are still relatively small.

Aaaargh!

I'm pulling my hairs out soon if this keeps happening;

Since I've inherited Bohemia, the current Emperor constantly trolls me with the "A fromal request" event, bringing my stability down to -3 ALL THE TIME.

I'm trying to abandon the empire but the number of provinces is too much, I need time to abandon with all provinces I gained.

FUUUUUUUUUUU

Haha yes this is gold. You should have your magistrate pool maxed whenever you take a big chunk of HRE lands. If you messed up you can cheat to avoid it

Save your game without closing the popup, then reload. It will simply dissappear.

If you don't want to cheat, never ever keep a province the emperor asks you back. It will be so fucked up you are better giving it away (even to the emperor).

Thanks for the tip Kafein, sad that I had to use this "trick", but I managed to abandon with all my provinces now, and got Austria as an Ally against Lithuania, trolled him with releasing Ukraine etc. haha

Ha. The Empire, arent they fun. I simply join them, and then become the next emperor. Lots of gifting required, but makes life easy on me.

Austria kept being a dickwad over the fact that Milan and Tyrol were my vassals (I was Naples and had JUST joined the Empire). Well, as much as I did not like Austria, fighting an Austrian Emperor as Naples is not very fun. Over a series of 3-4 wars fought down to the man. (Ran out of manpower each time and had to give up) I had to abandon Tyrol. Another 2 wars later, I almost had to abandon Milan...Until I became the emperor. Had about 1000 manpower left when this happen, then infinite manpower changed the tide immensely. Roflstomped Austria right after. As I finished up, Bohemia declared on Austria because they felt like it. I answered the call to protect the Empire state from BS when I let Bohemian army head down to Gurz or somewhat.

Safe to say, in less than 2 years I had broken down the 2 most powerful empire states. Silly gooses.

TL;DR: Become Emperor Asap. Much luls happen.

[Kafein]

As amusing as it may sound, the best way to become emperor is to be a total douchebag to the empire. If you keep the imperial authority at a minimum, electors will be more than willing to change emperor. Also, putting all your uncored provinces out of the empire will get you a massive imperial authority bonus when you become emperor and put them back in.

I have lost my all saved games after my laptop was broken and now I will start a new journey with Ottomans.

Recently got EU3, the tactic I've personally deployed for eventually becoming the emperor of the HRE is to slowly annex all HRE land, already managed to expand Bohemia to over three times its original size and there are barely any HRE members left besides the electors.

I think he is with that high infamy

Somehow, the game is running more or less fine on my other PC.

Anyhow, here is a challenge to you, EU3 pros: recreate Byzantine Empire! As in, starting with the Byzantine faction and recovering its territories pre-turk invasion.

I will probably be trying this myself now, will update, if any success.
