Year 1700, 2 settlements Berlin and Konigsberg.
With such a small faction in Europe with mighty factions all around. I decided i wanted to unite the Holy Roman Empire into a more secure safer region. But first i had to get rid of my un-wanted wars with Russia and the Barbary States... so we declared peace with them. Now i decided to negociate with the most friendly nations, as i will have a better chance of succeding. I demaned that Hannover become a protectorate of my empire, and to my benefit they did easily. Now with them as my protectorate i can see everything thats going on in their region aswell as the borders. With 1 nation down, i had 4 more small German states to go. Westphalia, Wurttemberg, and Bavaria all joined my Empire as protectorates, Saxony however was already a protectorate of Poland-Lithuania and i couldnt negiociate with them. Poland will pay!!! The next 6 months i decided i needed a stronger military, so in Brandenberg i researched Military techs, and across my 2 regions upgrading farms etc.. for income for a war.

After a year i decided it was time to invade Gdansk, but before i wanted to make some last moment Alliances/Protectorates. Denmark-Norway, United Proviences, and Genoa all became Allies, and so did Austria with a price (offered Ring Bayonet tech) Savoy and the Italian states also joined my Empire as protectorates. And now the war begins..

I marched my army from Konigsberg to Ddansk (west prussia) owned by Poland-Lithuania, when i arrived no army was in my way, exept for local city militia. So i beseiged the city and asked my allies to join me in this war. All did exept for Austria, and i soon had new enemies Courland, Russia, and Saxony. After a quick sweep into the city. They fell with minimal losses to my side. The region was now mine, i repaired all damaged buildings and upgraded all buildings i could afford and replenish my fallen troops. I also decided this was the chance to make Saxony part of my Protectorate HRE Ally. I offered them peace, military alliance, Carbine tech and demanded they become my protectorate.. they accepted! The Holy Roman Empire has been unified threw diplomacy, but was long from being safe.. we had enemies on all sides.

My diplomatic relations now looked like this:
Allies:
Austria
Denmark-Norway
United Proviences
Genoa

Protectorates:
Hannover
Westphalia
Wurttemberg
Bavaria
Saxony
Savoy
Italian States

At War:
Poland-Lithuania
Courland
Russia
Pirates

Nice. Get 2 fully stacked armies and take out your protectorate and benefit from their regions, then invade Poland/ Lith and Russia. That would be a nice full fledged World War.

I do NOT recommend attacking your protectorates. This will seriously damage your reputation.
