The good news is Danzig's revolt is getting nerfed in the next patch.
As for this campaign, though, start sucking up to Austria and Muscovy now and bide your time until Poland is coming off a bad war.

You can avoid the Prussian confederation by releasing Danzig as a Vassal and then at 2 stability you get the option to quell separatist sentiment and that should keep you from losing half your land. Or at least that's how I did it for my Baltic Crusader run in 1.27

Probably a good idea to take danzig from the TO before that event... bit of a problem. Or declare on Danzig if poland is too involved with the TO rebellion war. I don't think they can be a vassal of Poland if they are at war.

Yeah, i'm going to fuck around a bit and do some risky stuff and probably end up restarting

Sounds about right. Good luck.

R5: Poland got Danzig as a vassal (they also got the Jagellion PU on Lithuania) so I'm having a TIIIME as 1451 brandenburg

This event has been in for months now, since 1.27.
You can fairly easily beat Poland if you get a strong enough group of allies who all want a piece. Or pile on them when Ottomans are fighting them.

Starting as the Teutons isn't hard. Just choose the merchant candidate-- you can savescum this, as it forces you to pick an heir the day after the game starts-- and use the Burgher estate interaction to raise their opinion of you, but don't ask for diplo yet. Raise stability. You can now curtail the burghers.
Improve relations with Austria on day one. At a hundred and fifty relations, you can add your provinces to the Empire. Imperial protection from Poland, and you can expand into the HRE with few penalties.
As the Teutons, you have a better starting economy, and better early national ideas, and I'd even argue better early government type. You swap government type, missions, and national ideas upon reforming into Prussia.
I'll give it a shot, thanks!
