No, I think it's just that Grif hates me.

Not hate, I just enjoy razzing you. :P

Is there a list on the game showing whats needed to make the HRE? Or is it a stumble around and hope you make all the right decisions kinda thing?

There's a series of imperial decisions, it should be on the wiki

http://www.paradoxian.org/eu3wiki/Forming_HRE there you go

You need to be someone like Burgundy or Austria, become the emperor, stay that way and get involved in every war you can involving members of the HRE to maintain the imperial authority necessary to enact the reforms

if you do it its the most powerful form in the game, beats the crap out of germany, the form I previously thought was godly

Also, it has a tendency to cause the game to bug out, that much resources, manpower and territory cause problems. Once you pull it off the games over anyway because no one could possibly beat you
...scum.

Makes sense, though I thought the HRE was Germany.

My current game of Civ 5. Playing as Boadicea of the Iceni Empire. Founder of the Morrigan religion. The only person safe from Genghis Khan thanks to a mountain chain that is blocked by a par of city-states in their only pass.

Thankfully, I'm going for a cultural victory.

In the same way Canada is the United States.

We're nothing like the US. :dry:

What I meant was that I thought the HRE was the first form of a unified Germany, seeing as it was multiple German-states loosely united under the Holy Roman Empire.

The HRE was more of a symbolic union than a true unified state in the historical sense, due to in-fighting and the like.

Well I know, the Holy Roman Emperor didn't have much power, and the "member-states" often formed their own alliances and fought each other more than anyone else. Still, the early HRE actually resembled a semi-unified Confederation, its just that as time passed more and more power passed to the smaller German states and the power of the Emperor decreased steadily.

Germany can be formed in the game as well, its easier, because all you have to do is conquer

I haven't seen a Total War game here since I bought Medieval II five years ago. All other Total War games I've had to buy on Steam.

Keep calm and move along.

I guess so. Total War games are even rare on Swedish internet shops.

They're very rare here too. But we do get them. Last one I saw was Shogun 2.

We have "The Sims" plague over here. Piles of it in some stores due to unsold stock. Plus a load of old games that also didn't get sold. It's...pretty depressing really. We get really few real launches nowadays...
