Wurttemburg Forming Swabia So Many Free City's

[@ManuR-l4m]

Nice vid. Swabia is very niche since its arguably the worst german medium tag. I also formed it once. My strat was also to go after Ingolstadt first, take Donauwörth and humiliate them and their ally i also rivaled. But i didnt annex free cities. Next i rushed Mil Tec 4 and attacked Baden who were allied with Austria and i called my ally Bohemia. I merced up over force limit and since Austria needs a while until they reach Mil 4 i was able to bully them around and take both Sundgau and Breisgau from them. And i vassalized Baden. Next i made sure that Ulm, Konstanz, Memmingen, Moulhouse and Strassburg had not more than one rivalry against each other and none against me. For the free cities i attacked their allies to not call in Austria again and broke their rivalries against each other. Srassburg and Moulhouse were easier. After that was done i was able to ally all of them and annex them through the decision, forming Swabia in 1467.

@ManuR-l4m yeah that's a great way to go about it, I think I remember doing that the first time I formed swabia as well I remember having allies and them joining me. It's a rough area with all the free city's.
