'''Austria-Hungary''' can be formed by {{flag|Austria}} by the [[decision]] The [[Austro-Hungarian Compromise]]. It will add Hungarian as accepted culture, but will remove the possibility to form {{flag|Germany}} from Austria. Austria needs to have under 80 [[prestige]] and have researched [[Nationalism and Imperialism]] to make the decision. In addition, {{flag|Italy}} and [[Germany]] both need to exist to form the dual monarchy. Austria-Hungary gains cores in all of Austria, while Austria loses all of its cores, except in those provinces where South German is the main [[culture]]. 

[[Austria]] starts in 1836 with more than 80 prestige, which means that one will actually have to lose prestige in order to form Austria-Hungary. Although this sounds bad, it has large benefits like more national focuses and larger manpower. There are multiple ways of losing [[prestige]]. The simplest is to release [[puppet]]s, which will give {{red|-5}} prestige pr. nation. Make sure not to release any nations with Hungarian [[core]]s. {{Flag|Venice}}, {{flag|Trieste}} and {{flag|Bohemia-Moravia}} are all suitable. Otherwise one could purposefully lose wars.

* Austria-Hungary has a single [[decision]], which it shares with [[Austria]]: [[Gründerzeit' Architecture]]

===Strategy===
The strategy of Austria-Hungary largely follows that of Austria, except that Austria-Hungary cannot form [[Germany]]. It will likely face the [[Austro-Prussian War]]. 

Preventing the formation of Germany is a crucial, but difficult task. The easiest way is to outright annex a German minor e.g. {{flag|Bavaria}} or {{flag|Saxony}} (which however starts in Austrias sphere). Another way is to reduce {{flag|Prussia}} to secondary power status by completely wiping out their army and occupying everything. It will lose its entire sphere, and the other Great powers will come in to sphere the German minors.
