Formation decisions[edit | edit source]

Main articles: Formation decisions, Formable countries

Country formation decisions are kept on the pages of each formable country. All formable countries are listed below.

Forming a country through decision[edit | edit source]

Generally, a nation must meet the following requirements to form most formables:

Target formable does not exist
Current nation is not an end-game tag
At peace
Is not a non-tributary subject
Is not a Steppe Horde
Own and core certain provinces (Some provinces can also be owned by non-tributary subjects)

And forming a country will have the following effects:

A new name and color; often some prestige, permanent claims and the "Increased Centralization" modifier.
Most formable countries have unique national ideas. An event triggered by the formation decision gives a choice between switching ideas or keeping the existing set. Note that custom nations do not get the event this way.
Formation of a new country changes "historical rival" attitudes regarding other countries. For example, if Christian Ottomans form Roman Empire, they will no longer be historical rivals with Austria. This also applies inversely; if Burgundy form France, they will become historical rivals with Austria.
Forming another nation while being the Emperor of China resets all reforms made as the previous nation. This is important to keep in mind if looking to form Qing or Yuan.
Forming a country may require your capital to be in a region, or it may move your capital. This may void your trade company investments, and if you don't have a main trade port it may move your home node.
Forming a country resets any expanded infrastructure done in any provinces. Centralized states remain centralized however.

Formable countries[edit | edit source]

All of these formation decisions require that the game is using the historical setup.

Indian Trade Company[edit | edit source]

id

Found Indian Trade Company

Our interest in an East India Company is based chiefly on hopes and ambitions aroused by the enormous revenues produced by the initial ventures of other companies.

Liberum Veto[edit | edit source]

id

Institute Liberum Veto

Our nobility have come to us with an interesting proposal. If we were to grant them the Liberum Veto they would in return give us substantial support during the current war. Although their offer is very generous indeed, some of our advisors are suggesting that this could just be the thin edge of the wedge. In fact although they will get angry if we refuse them, they will most definitely prey on any future weakness we show to demand further concessions.

State Firearm Regiments

While the technology is still in its infancy, firearms can be a deadly force on any battlefield. In order to be efficient, however, firearms require regular training and a steady supply of ammunition. For a regular levy army this level of proficiency can be hard to maintain. A soldier that has to go home to tend his fields is not one that will regularly exercise with his weapon.
While we cannot change our entire army structure in one stroke we can ensure that a core of highly trained salaried troops specialize in these weapons.

Potential requirements

The country:

does not have the modifier "Elite Regiments".
has a military technology of less than 19.

Allow

The country:

has a military technology of at least 6.

Standardized Uniforms

To the extent that uniforms are in use in our armies regiment commanders are often expected to provide and pay for them. This leads to a great variety in colors and styles on the battlefield and makes identifying friend from foe confusing. Let us create a standard uniform for all troops on our payrolls that we then attempt to provide for our troops.

Potential requirements

The country:

does not have the modifier "Elite Regiments".
does not have the modifier "Standardized Uniforms".
has a military technology of at least 19.

Allow

The country:

has at least 40% army professionalism.

- +10% land maintenance modifier.

AI will not take this decision.

id

Abolish Standardized Uniforms

There are many upsides to the state supplying standardized uniforms but it is perhaps cheaper and more efficient to have regimental commanders pay and commission them instead. We could go back to the way things were even if our army professionalism would suffer somewhat.

Potential requirements

has the modifier "Standardized Uniforms".

Allow

The country:

Provoke Hanseatic Trade Conflict

The Hansa have the pesky trait to be difficult to deal with. They compete with our trade dominance in the Baltic Sea, and their position within the Holy Roman Empire grants them protection from us.

However, the Emperor is only obliged to support the Hansa in a defensive war. By provoking the Hansa into attacking us we can ensure the dismantling of the Hanseatic League without having to wage war with the entirety of the Holy Roman Empire. All we need to do is to provoke the merchants of the Hansa...

Proclaim Protection for the Protestants

The Protestants of the Holy Roman Empire are victims of inquisitions, open hostility and discrimination by the Imperial Crown itself. But they lack the courage and the strength to call to arms and defend themselves against the injustice done to them.

It is time for us to side with the Reformation, and proclam officially that we will support and protect the Protestants of the Holy Roman Empire.
