What's interesting is that this Archduke has relatives in charge of another duchy in the northern part of the Empire, so in a sense there's a possible Hapsburg style type of situation where the different branches of the family start marrying each other to keep the family lands in hand.

[@SuperSoldier628]

It took me over three or four different characters just to form Austria because I couldn’t get a flipping hook on the Kaiser

[@QQzs]

What I did was reverse engineer it by getting a hook on someone in line for the throne and making them the kaiser

[@johnjaeger2968]

@@QQzs wish I'd have tried that sooner. I held everything in Austria proper, plus Graz and Karnten. I did get incredibly lucky with succession though. Managing to send off all of my excess sons for three generations to either the holy orders or to the clergy. One even with just a 5% chance of accepting, even with a hook (he was my first firstborn, but didn't inherit genius). Did pull it off in the end, just in the nick of time. My fourth duke dying mere weeks later with two heirs (the second of whom I really didn't want to disinherit, due to how close I was to my next dynasty trait) Also managed to get the leading score in the second and third crusades for Zaporizhia and Jerusalem, all while being the Habsburg. So Habsburg Ukraine and Jerusalem are a thing. I'm going to continue the campaign to the end at this point

[@Oliver-ld3ei]

@@QQzs could you explain how you did that? I’ve attempted to form Austria 5 times and the hook is always holding me back.

[@QQzs]

@@Oliver-ld3ei Ok buckle up, this is gonna be quite detailed. First get a character geared towards an intrigue lifestyle and a good spymaster. Pick up the Truth is Relative & Digging for Dirt perks. Approach 1 Next, have a look at the HRE line of succession & pick a candidate closer to the top ranks. (Eg 1st, 2nd, or 3rd in line) Set your Spymaster to „find secrets“ at the court they‘re at, and fish around till you get a strong hook on them. You can get lucky and find a criminal secret on them (eg Murder) and blackmail them with it BUT if that doesnt happen then with the combination of Truth is Relative & your spymaster set to finding secrets, sometimes you‘ll get a random prompt to fabricate a hook on a courtier if there are no more secrets to find, just hope it‘s the candidate you‘re targeting and that it gives you a strong manipulation hook. Approach 2 Start a fabricate hook scheme @ the candidate, and whenever hook fabrication is ready, make sure you‘ll be getting a strong hook rather than a weak hook. If the scheme is ready and your outcome is a weak hook, delay it and let it run in again until you get strong hook. Don‘t cancel it because there‘s a long cooldown period. For this approach, it‘s best to have your spymaster on Support Schemes task. You can also try a combo of the two, have your spymaster find secrets at their court while you run a fabricate hook scheme on them. - If you dont get lucky with, pick a different candidate to target and try and try again until you find a character with enough skeletons in their closet. Once you get a strong hook on someone, murder the emperor & whoever else is further in line for the throne until it ends up with the character you have a strong hook on. I suggest picking up additional intrigue perks to help with this & voila, archduchy of austria. I save this for my last step before making the decision because the HRE succession is super fickle and random events might mess up your hard work (eg they get deposed or die while you try to accomplish the other requirements).

[@Chadius_Thundercock]

Dude after 2 generations I finally got a strong hook, I was super happy, I only needed one more year to get absolute crown authority, then the fucking emperor “died of old age” at 37. I took a deep breath, then beat the shit out of my desk before not playing for the rest of the week

[@j.ackermann9110]

I've done that with the Habsburg count in switzerland. To get the achievement you have to do it without war. That was an interesting playthrough

[@laca9198]

It would have been more fitting to get this formable done with the Habsburgs but at least you not failed like I do with the hook... If anyone intrested I recommend you to own Istria and/or Krain too when clicking the button so it will also become de jure like Carinthia, but the ingame decision does not shows it. (if the wiki correct)

[@TheChaoticLaw]

[@ChaoticArcane]

The AEIOU & Me achievement was easily one of the hardest I’ve ever gotten, especially since I wanted all duchies to be de jure, which just made it harder on me

[@Foodisgood]

Can you do a video on forming Bene-Israel? Aka the Indian Israel. Some morons mistake it for Beta Israel which is in Africa. Hardest decision in the game by far. You have to convert to a Jewish religion that has no historical characters at all. Then you have to reform the religion to allow it to have a head. Only problem is their holy sites are aren't really in India so you have to go get Jerusalem and such. Oh you also can't have a rank higher than Duke to take the decision to form Bene-Israel. Full requirements to form Bene-Israel decision: -Malabarism faith -Malabarism has a head of faith(Which means you need to capture at least 3 of the holy sites to give the faith a head.) -Rank of Duke or lower -Realm capital is in the region of India -Completely control the duchies of Chera Nadu and Konkana -Devoted Servant level of piety

[@Alister222222]

I decided to try and do this as historically early as I possibly could. It was so. Freaking. Painful. I had to start off doing mad conquest to form the HRE, which was pretty exhausting to do as fast as I could. Then I had to somehow lose control of the HRE, which was easier said than done (everyone kept trying to vote for my character my heir - and even when I lost it I would sometimes still get it voted back to my player character). Then I had to somehow get a strong hook on the Emperor, which took so freaking many fabricate schemes; it's hard to do any scheme at all against an emperor. I think I did manage this pre-1000AD, but I really wouldn't recommend it. It's not worth the pain, lol.

You now need a Strong Hook after some update.

[@johnjaeger2968]

I just tried this and it was incredibly frustrating. It's the first game I've played where every. single. Kaiser wasn't a murdering and philandering bastard. RNG decided that this time, the Salians are going to be saintly. I finally had to start a claimant faction, for a whole other guy to get the hook - only for at the last second to get a hook on the emperor's son. I'm 71 years old by this point, so frantically start a murder plot on the Kaiser. First attempt, at 95% fails. Second attempt is discovered, but my involvement isn't. Finally after massive bribery, he dies. I click the button and unpause: my newly crowned archduke immediately dies. Most helterskelter run I've had in a while
