I'm a little confused as to how they didn't complete the challenge, cause it's really quite easy lmao - especially as poland

The guy who played as Burgundy did a decent job, although he could've definetely made things better, such as mass recruiting closer to the war to avoid bankruptcy or getting Austria as a non-cobelligerant in an easier war. However, I think overall he was pretty good, had a solid plan in mind and was one siege away from completing the goal.
On the other hand, what was the plan of the guy playing with Poland? He didn't even get close to dismantling the HRE because he didn't even try to. I mean, what was he trying? You cannot dismantle the HRE if you are the emperor. He joined the HRE and it looked like he was trying to get elected. However this is not necessary to dismantle the HRE. Also, he allied Austria since the beggining. You must occupy the emperor's capital, and is not very likely that Austria will loose the emperorship in the first years of the game. Can anyone expline this?

Might have tried playing as POL, taking the PU, then allying all of the electors not allied to Austria (HAB), then declaring on a HRE nation to get to war with the remaining electors (even if best CB) and HAB afterwards. Or, easier, if HAB has rivalled an elector, e.g. BRA or BOH, they won't defend them from attacks from outside the HRE. Ally HAB and, again, all electors not allied to HABs rival, then declare on the rival. Alternatively, you can declare on an HAB ally, which is not part of the HRE, e.g. HUN. Always ally as many nations as possible that would accept to join the war when being promised land and call them in (they won't lose trust when you white-peace). Always focus siege the elector capitals and then dismantle the HRE. This way, you can finish in just a few in-game years :-)
