The Reformation is the fourth scenario of the German Campaign in Empire Earth II.
Description[]
Martin Luther's exposing of the corruption in the Roman Catholic Church touched off the Protestant Reformation, which rippled throughout the Holy Roman Empire. As with other nations, this resulted in religious and political turmoil in Prussia, often ending in violence. Albrecht of Prussia was in a difficult position, trying to maintain order among his people while also trying to resist out side interference from nations such as Poland. His acceptance of the Reformation would create newfound support and preserve his office. But it would also sound the death knell for the Teutonic Order, and put the future of Prussia on a new path.
You must choose one of the other cities of Prussia as an ally and conquer the others.Following the decline of Marienburg, the Teutonic Knights shifted their seat of power to another city. The fatal blow to the Teutonic Order was delivered in 1525 by its own grand master, Albrecht. Unable to find the means to keep Poland out of Prussian affairs, Albrecht had few alternatives. He embraced the Reformation, declared Prussia a secular duchy, and was invested as duke by the King of Poland. This allowed him to remain in power and still keep his country relatively autonomous. He traveled to Poland and swore an oath of allegiance to the Polish king in a ceremony known as 'The Prussian Homage'. Prussia's relationship with neighboring Lithuania was friendlier, and Albrecht made strides in creating social and religious understanding between the two. Meanwhile, the Teutonic Order began to disintegrate. The estates of the land met and took the oath of allegiance to the new duke Albrecht, who used his full powers to forward the doctrines of Luther and the Reformation. This transition did not take place without protest. The remnants of the Order deposed their grand master and made an attempt to recover Prussia.
