A few tips after finishing my Austria run: 1. From what I can tell this is not entirely fixed in the current patch, but the exploit of having Italy leave the HRE and then rejoin does not seem to work anymore. (Countries will probably not rejoin the empire after leaving it) 2. Accepting the royal marriages from the vassalized HRE princes isn't bad as they don't take up any diplomatic relations slots and it stops them from spamming. 3. After you revoke you want to vassalize anyone bordering the HRE. Vassals will basically always add themselves to the empire therefore they become just another HRE vassal. 4. You don't want to release nations after revoking. It is better to take the province yourself and then release the nation. Through this method the released nation will be released as your vassal and will try to join the HRE. 5. It is better to have many small vassals than a few big ones, because all nations get a base amount of income and manpower irrelevant of their size. 6. The HRE can not encompass the entire world (sadly). Only provinces in Europe can be added to the empire, but you can give land outside of Europe to your vassals so that once you form the HRE you will gain free cores on everything. 7. After you revoke you can you through your vassal screen and select transfer trade power for all of your vassals. This will give you complete control of all of the trade in the HRE and will make you a absurd amount of money if you use it correctly. 8. Something Spiffing didn't really explain in the video is that the reason none of your vassals want to rebel is, because HRE revoke vassals are special in the fact that they only compare their strength to yours and not the total strength of all vassals compared to yours. (this is similar to Personal Unions)

It's a bit annoying that every time Spiff makes a video, the devs go out of their way to watch it, rush out a hotfix and either say nothing about it, or down right ruin everything and state it in the patch notes. Now for Paradox, it's totally cool. They allow us to revert to older versions of the game for either mod support, nostalgia or just finishing off a campaign, which can take a really long time, if you micromanage every single day of the 376 years of the game like Arumba, Thank God he went on to Hearthstone.. Still recommended to play on the latest patch. But this time, i'm slightly annoyed, because you can't go back to 1.30.1 with the hot mess of steaming pitch covered burning domesticated pig (the perfect counter to war elephants by the way) and have a bit of fun, because to be honest, I'm still waiting for a 4th hotfix to make the game actually fun to play not just playable. But yeah, a lot of players would prefer to have access to multiple versions of games. I respect the work that goes into making a new fix, and even finding the bugs in the first place, but i'd prefer a more...liberal access to what i can do in a video game, the so far, ultimate interactive multimedia experience.

Avid tea drinker and new sub here! Your TTT match with Achievement Hunter piqued my curiosity so I've spent the last 4 days indoctrinating myself with all your videos and I must say, it is QUITE lovely content. I absolutely adore your channel. I'll have to pick up a mug soon, since I am ALSO a mug collector, because what is tea without its mug? Cheers, Spiff! :)

Another thing about the vassal swarm is that each one provides a general or two and the best one in the stack will lead a army. The result is that your ant blobs will be lead by exceptional generals since even if 95% of them are garbage when you got 25 in one army you still will have 1 great one to lead them

I'm very happy with this dlc, finally got me to actually try (and succeed) my first world conquest. It feels very satisfying to actually achieve it Also, the liberty desire is very low because for some reason, HRE vassals only compare themselves to you (in terms of power) instead of regular vassals that compare the strength of all vassals to you. With this vassal swarm, if you vassalize something out of the empire, they will have 100% liberty desire because all your vassals are op

Have you tried, in the base game, after taking Bohemia and Hungary (which has always been easy to do), to guarantee every single member of the HRE ? Sure, your diplo points will be -999 until you revoke the privilegia, but, by ensuring that there is permanent peace and that no members will be eaten, you can rake up imperial authority very quickly. It's not as fast as this exploit, by far, but it gets things done before the reformation.

1.30.1, or 1.30.2? They went a bit overzealous in patching the exploits out. Also, as you can now revoke the revoke, you can just keep building up more members of the HRE, and then redo the revoke to add all you're new stats as more vassal swarm members.

The most broken thing about this is that even after you got the vassal swarm people will still want to join the HRE and you can peacefully vassalize them after that. So basicly you can get all of Europe without any AE by releasing nations in peace deals

The favourite part of my last Austria game was definitely passing a reform then "losing" the shadow kingdom event a few months later, which didn't matter because I'd just passed a reform and was already at 0 Imperial Authority. To then reinviting all the Italians back into the HRE which then gave me enough Imperial Authority to instantly pass another 2 reforms. It was hilarious
