10 Reasons why Bohemia is the best Prussia

Posted: 26 Sep 2021 09:59 AM PDT

Gold mine for ez monies
Hussite = Deus Vult on everyone
Hussite = even cheaper culture conversion
Hussite = -10% Warscore cost against other religions (everyone)
PU over Hungary
PU over Poland/PLC
The Ottomans will ally you and help you beat the HRE, Hungary and Poland into submission
Multiple "until end of game" modifiers from missions (+1 Missionary vs. heretics, +1 TotF, -5 Sepratism, -15% Diplo Annex (yes, they stay after reforming into Prussia)
Good ruler to start the game.
Starts as an Elector and stays part of the HRE even after forming Prussia (better than Teutons or Poland forming Prussia)

I have spent the whole Saturday testing out different approaches to forming Prussia. The most limiting factors to an enjoyable game are AE inside the HRE, being unable to join the HRE easily (as Poland) or staying part of the HRE when reforming into Prussia.

Brandenburg is insanely shit with the new National Ideas and the mission tree depends on the Teutons giving you provinces, which might happen after a few days, 15 years or possibly never in case of Poland annexing the provinces you need for your own missions to work. (I deem this to be a typical Paradox design problem, "hey we got this cool mission but it depends on an event in another nation happening, or not")

Bohemia starts in a comfortable spot without anyone around who can threaten them directly at game start. Austria will nearly always ally you and in the rare case they rival you, then you can ally Poland instead.

The best case is if you can ally Austria so they do not ask you to return unlawful territory AND ally Poland as well for a "non HRE Ally", who you can curry favors with to call into wars against HRE countries. If Poland takes the PU over Lithuania they are the perfect battering ram to squash early opposition in the HRE.

The first move must be to fabricate claims on Brandenburg, then Wolgast and then the Teutonic Order. Call Poland into all wars to keep then busy and create a truce for them with the Teutonic Order.

Just take Danzig and Königsberg from the Teutons. In a second war vassalize them. This way the AE will never get too high and no coalition will form against you.

In another small war take 1 or 2 provinces from Saxony to get enough development of Saxony culture, then use those provinces as a starting point to convert all czech provinces to saxon culture and then culture shift. Thanks to Conversion cost reduction from Hussite it is feasible even before completing religious ideas, but not required as you have to work through the Bohemian mission tree first before forming Prussia anyway.

If you manage all the above steps you now either own or have your vassal own all provinces required to form Prussia. You have enough saxon culture development to work on the culture shift and you are of Hussite religion, with religious ideas giving easy deus vult for low AE wars inside the HRE.

Good luck.
