HRE or Italia?
I’m having a massively successful game, started as King Louis II of Italy and only on my second generation and formed the Empire of Italia, consolidated an epic amount of land (inherited Lotharangia and then conquered East and West Francia) and just survived the black plague. I don’t want my luck to run out though and I was wondering if forming the HRE at this point will help or hinder me?
If I do form the HRE, should I do it now before my current character dies (which will be soon) or should I let my heir do it? Also just wondering in general if Italia is better in someway than the HRE would be. My ultimate goal is to reform the Western Roman Empire which I’ve never done before and I don’t know if being HRE or Italia is the right path towards that.
Any and all feedback is welcome!
Edit: forgot to mention that I also got conqueror trait so this play through has been EXTREMELY lucky
