Hi guys,

just a friendly reminder that our deadline's now in less than 24 hours. Wednesday, 6 PM CET.

While I've touched upon this point in quite a few private mails, I think a more general reminder can't do any harm:

The Imperial Crown only changes hands in winter since it is then that actual SC control changes. As builds follow upon winter SC control changes, it follows that HRE privileges may be immediately used upon receiving the imperial honour.

Now, I think this is quite clear from the following sentence in the variant rules: "The Great Power owning the most HRESCs is considered the Holy Roman Emperor and enjoys the described building privileges. The title only is transferred whenever one single Great Power other than the present office-holder (initially Austria) controls the most HRESCs." But my question is to you: Do you think I ought to further elaborate on that or is that sufficiently clear? Did anyone not understand how these things work from reading the rules?

Cheers,


Charles
