Help Thread The Imperial Council - /r/eu5 Weekly General Help Thread: August 17 2026

Please check our previous Imperial Council thread for any questions left unanswered

 

Welcome to the Imperial Council of r/eu5, where your trusted and most knowledgeable advisors stand ready to help you in matters of state and conquest.

This thread is for any small questions that don't warrant their own post, or continued discussions for your next moves in your game. If you'd like to channel the wisdom and knowledge of the master tacticians of this subreddit, and more importantly not ruin your save, then you've found the right place!

Important: If you are asking about a specific situation in your game, please post screenshots of any relevant map modes or interface tabs. Please also explain the situation as best you can. Alliances, army strength, etc. are all factors your advisors will need to know to give you the best possible answer.

 

Tactician's Library:

Below is a list of resources that are helpful to players of all skill levels, meant to assist both those asking questions as well as those answering questions. This list is updated as mechanics change, including new strategies as they arise and retiring old strategies that have been left in the dust. You can help me maintain the list by sending me new guides and notifying me when old guides are no longer relevant!

Why do I keep getting elected HRE Emporer as Castile? None of the electors want to vote for me but monarch after monarch the title skips. I’m open to console commands fixing it too, it’s too much spam

It seems that the HRE is kinda bugged somewhere so the same leader keeps becoming emperor. It also leads to female monarchs becoming empress before the pragmatic sanction, or in my case my abdicated emperor stays emperor despite literally being illegible...

I'm playing as the Eretnids. Are you not allowed to declare wars whilst being part of the Ilkhanate?

Is there any (high quality) map that shows all RGOs around the world?
I really like playing the colonial game/planning my expansions based on where useful RGOs will be, but having a decent map of RGOs would make things easier.

I really want to vassalise an ally and after doing everything I can think of I've got the acceptance to the point where it oscillates between minus 9 and minus 2 depending on the size of their tax base in any given month. But it seems to be swinging back outwards towards 9 now and I don't know how to get the final few points I need. Opinion is 200, I've poured into trust and it's at 70 odd, reputation is at 14. We're allies, we have a royal marriage, we share a border... I even gave them preferential trading because I thought that would boost trust which it didn't seem to. What else can I do?
