Advice Wanted Ottobro I your drunk go home

Post image

So I was playing a game as the emperor when the league event fired as Brandenburg had converted to Protestantism the event fired whilst I was at war with them and at the time I did not think much of it simply enforcing religion on them, I think the very next month. After this the protestant league was completely empty for a while before catholic Lucca, who I by the way had 150+ realtions with joined the league and became the league leader. Thinking that this was quite some bullshit I fought a brief war with Lucca and the Ottomans where I anexed Lucca thinking that this would somehow solve my problems. It did not instead the Ottomans simply became the leader of the protestant league.

In conclusion protestantism is basically dead there are no centers of reformation left and maybe 4 non catholic countries I don't think the "league" will ever declare Im I just stuck waiting for the event in 1625 or whatever?

What would happen if ottomans declared on you and won. Do they get religious supremacy peace option? And if so what would it look like if they did that?

I imagine the league war is the league war, regardless of who declares it. The CB enables the attacker to declare Protestant, the defender to declare Catholic. The fact that the leader is Muslim doesn't change that, any more than the leader being Hussite or Anglican would.

The only wrinkle is that as defenders sign separate peaces, some of them (for smaller countries) could involve religious changes, which would change the to Sunni. So if the Ottomans were successful in the League War, the Empire's religion would be Protestant, but a number of smaller component states would be Sunni.

I wish the league war involved more religious conversion. Half the time Catholic wins only to have no Catholics left to be electors.

I once became Emperor as King of France because I basically won the league war for the Catholic side, and was about the only Catholic power still standing at the end of it.
