My suggestions for improving the Holy Roman Empire

I recently formed the HRE as Austria. Though the experience was fun, I do have a couple of suggestions for how the HRE mechanics can be improved.

Have electors actually cast votes like in AOH II:
In AOH III, the nation that has the most prestige is automatically elected as emperor once the current emperor dies. This is an unfortunate downgrade compared to AOH II in my opinion. If the electors can actually cast votes this would not only make becoming emperor far more interesting since you could win the favor of the electors instead of just being the most powerful nation, it would also make it harder to remain emperor. If you anger all of the electors, they could decide to vote you out.

Make the reforms more similar to the law system:
Right now the reforms are just a straight line that you have to complete in order to get a few buffs and become emperor. Once you've passed a reform it's impossible for it to be reversed. I think it would be a good idea to add a number of imperial laws that change the level of centralization of the HRE. HIgh centralization would be needed in order to pass the reforms that will eventually unite the Empire. (Very) low centralization would make it easier for a nation that declares war on the emperor to dismantle the HRE.
Here are some examples of possible laws from high to low centralization:

Religion:
All princes must convert to the Emperor's religion
Cuius regio, eius religio
The electors decide the religion of the HRE

Elections:
The Emperor appoints the electors
The Emperor's candidate is given more weight.
The electors are fixed
The most powerful nations in the HRE become electors.

War within the HRE:
Princes cannot declare war against other princes
The Emperor can force princes to sign a white peace or negotiate.
Princes can declare war against other princes.

Passing certain laws and reforms should anger the princes and/or electors. If too many laws or reforms are passed to quickly it could cause them to declare a war with the purpose of turning back the reforms.

      Campaign: Small Scenarios

      Łukasz Jakowski posted a topic in Ideas,

      In this topic, share your ideas for Campaign scenarios.

      These scenarios focus on a small part of the map, with the rest designated as wasteland.

       

      For example, a scenario of the Reconquista in 1054, where gameplay takes place only on the Iberian Peninsula.

      What are your ideas for small historical scenarios?

      Hi,
      in this topic, I am interested in your ideas for events that can happen for every Civilization in the game.
      I'm also interested in Missions for every Civilization.

      Here is some example, have more than 10k army, have more than 5000 gold, build 10 buildings, recruit an Advisor, increase tax efficiency 20 times, be largest  producer of some resource in the world, unlock 5 Civilization legacies etc.

      Land units - Ideas AoH3

      Łukasz Jakowski posted a topic in Ideas,

      AoH3 will have different types of land units.

      In this topic we will write ideas for new land units. 

       

      So the AoH 3 will have new battle system.


      Representation of the battlefield in the game.


      Land units will be grouped into 3 types. Each unit will have a different recruitment cost, attack, defense, movement speed and upkeep.

      Groups determine the placement of units on the battlefield.


       

      Each unit can be unlocked by researching technology and then upgraded.

       

      Here is the current list of units with upgrades:

      First line:

      Warrior -> Light Footmen -> Heavy Infantry -> Infantry -> Line Infantry -> Modern Infantry

      Hoplites -> Spearmen -> Pikeman -> Elite Pikeman -> Musketeer -> Riflemen -> Mechanized Infantry -> Modern Mechanized Infantry

      First line side:

      Horseman -> Elite Horseman -> Cavalry -> Tank -> Modern Tank

      Second line:

      Archer -> Bowmen -> Crossbowman -> Elite Crossbowman

      Canon -> Field Cannon -> Artillery -> Modern Artillery

      Early Airplane -> Airplane -> Modern Airplane

       

      This is a very early version, so maybe something should be changed?

      Or maybe an idea for a new type of unit with upgrades? I'm waiting for your suggestions.
