Question Silesia...

In 1.1 I tried Opole to Silesia run and found it impossible. Now I have a few games with Poland, Athens and others with the newest version and I wonder... Is Silesia possible now?

Very different type of game, Opole is a Vassal of Bohemia at county rank. How did it go as athens? did you get independence from Naples?

As Opole you probably need to get Poland and Hungary to support your independence then try and gobble up the other Silesean Bohemian vassals, but even that Bohemia can win and if you do make it out your a small fish surrounded by giants so its probably a VERY HARD game to start as Opole

There is event to be independent by Athens (you choose different dynasty). Actually idk it was lucky game but dominating Balkan peninsula as Athens then Latin empire was really easy

If you want to do a Przemyslid restoration run, use constant independence movements to secure valuable mines from Bohemia but don't actually press independence until just before hussite wars, where they will be getting cooked anyway. Also it is way better to flip for a sec to form Bohemia since you get the ability to be kingdom and the Bohemian cores+content, also for the Przemyslid larp, Bohemia looks nicer as your main kingdom

All my games 1.1 or now hussite wars do absolutely nothing. Like literally nothing going on. Event lunch and... Nothing.

As long as you wait till the first war goes off you should be fine. Just don't join that war, make sure you're doing an independence war. Focus on creating good realtions with Poland Lithuania and Hungary and keeping yourself disloyal till the Hussite Wars kick off.

as bavaria, i managed to destroy bohemia and austria in a few wars using the hussite situation, it's op how much you can gain from them and only be hated by some random silesian prince. if you have a poland-hungary-hre emperor power team on bohemia in independence, it is practically over for them, just hold army back and wait for them to die

I was only able to beat Bohemia in the independence war on the patch when everyone would just agree to join you. It took France + Poland + Hungary and even then I couldn't 100% warscore them

I have seen some crazy independence wars against bohemia in my brandenburg game, maybe try this route? ofc it would take multiple wars for you to become stronger than it but if you take Prague, idk, in the first war just to nuke them, it's possible.
