If I will Integrate Spain that owns lets say 10 province Caribbean colony and own 10 proince Caribbean colony will I get 2 merchants? Will I get same amout of Trade Power like for one colony?
If I claim Spanish Throne and PU them (30k army of Spain is stuck in Mali ) will I get PU over Naples? When you lose historical friends? Can I win war without losing this?

Integrating a vassal with colonial nations makes those CNs yours; I've managed to get 3 merchants out of Brazilian CNs before Caribbean is small enough that getting 2 CNs to 10 provinces is difficult, but most of the other regions are plenty big enough to split.
If you claim throne and force PU vis war, you get all the PU juniors also.
Historical friends disappears if you have a battle against them; war itself doesn't necessarily lose it, though winning said war without fighting any battles is an interesting challenge. It can be done if you have big vassals or allies.

How can I deal with it? I'm speaking about 20% corruption 22% inflation and 28 loans.

Good lord...

Um, there is always bankruptcy. Make sure you have strong allies to deter attackers.

Alternatively you can always wage a few wars exclusively for cash. Find the nation with the best ratio of cash to soldiers(More cash, less soldiers) and declare war on them. Take their cash and war reps, the rinse and repeat until your loans are all paid. You can get an inflation adviser as well, preferably a level one. Start paying the corruption at least a little, and spend some of your admin points on buying down the inflation.

Good luck

allies will break the alliance when you go bankrupt.

I've got Spain and Naples as PU right now I fought a 8-12 years war against them to take the PU. Me alone aginst Spain and allies. I don't have allies other then Papal State. I can't go bankrupt couse my PU will recive +50-80% Liberty Desire for negative prestige. I attacked Florence and Sardinia and payed about 5 loans but there are still 19 left ....(+ corruption and inflation) (my whole dept now is about 5000)

Use your fleet to privateer Channel instead of protecting (more income 99% of the time), move merchants (the one collecting in Hormuz is clearly not worth for instance, show more of the map so that I can tell where they should be), delete these forts, siphon income if possible, ask money from burghers, delete most of your warfleet (navy's useless), develop your goldmines. Use the ledger to find weak countries with 1000 money in bank, there are usually quite a lot, don't be afraid to no CB them. Exploit development to get extra cash (there is probably 1000 to be had by reducing the dev of every province by 1). Kick any advisor who's not paying for himself or close to it (level 1 taxman, trader or minus inflation guy).
4000 debt is nothing for Portugal. In 10 years you should pay them, and have the money to root out corruption once you're not paying half your income in interests. Ignore inflation, it's just a number and you should snowball your economy faster than inflation rises and never have issues with it. I've ended games with close to 100 inflation without any trouble.

imo it isn't worth to buy down the inflation when it's already that high. Also don't let the corruption increase. If you pay off a loan while let the corruption rise, at the end it's the same if don't pay a loan and don't let the corruption rise. Also I don't know how your total dev vs effective dev is. If your effective dev is like 40% of total dev (due high autonomy) it might be better to use debase currency to pay off your loans.

On the wiki it says

• None of:
  • incident_variable_value = {

incident = incident_ikko_shu
value = 3

what does this mean? I'm trying to convert to Mayahana as Japan.

 

[dude1252]

I'm 2 levels of admin tech behind (almost 3) I didn't end Expansion and Administrative (4 and 2 ideas left) even due to having 5 3 4 king (for 50 years) and now 4 3 5. Someone is hunting pirates in English Channel but I think I will keep my feet there so I gain Power Projection. I've got 459 development.
It is just my 6 game that I play.

It's just a value that determine which way you go in isolationism. Low value means open border, while high value means closed border. But if you're trying to convert alway from Shinto, you don't need to care about it.

Still get rid of these forts and exploit, you're still having loans. Read what I said and this will be fixed very quickly, then everything will get back in order, you're in Europe and rich, you'll catch up easily.

In my my i'm constantly eating up parts of the HRE.

Should I remove the aquired provinces from the HRE? Is there any consequences other than "upsets the emperor"?

 

[Sfan]

There is no bad consequence besides "upsets the emperor", but there is literally no good consequence either. Early game, it can prevent the Emperor from passing a reform by decreasing IA, but that quickly stops being a thing. The only case in which that's useful is if you plan to become the Emperor and Revoke the Privilegia. In that case, remove everything before you become Emperor, and readd everything once you're the Emperor to get free IA.

 

[Jean I]

When I give a recently conquered province back to its previous owner, will AE decrease by the same amount I got when taking it?

No.

 

[Jean I]

No.

Ok then, is there any way to prevent my ally from giving me provinces I have claims on in a peace deal?

Make sure it's them who control it.

Siege it down and transfer control to an ally. You need Art of War for that option.

 

[Sfan]

Occupy them and transfer occupation to someone else, they won't retransfer it to you. A subject of yours who can't core them is the best choice, this way you ensure noone gets them and you can still claim them in a few years when you have less AE.

 

[Jean I]

I dont have Art of War and my vassal already occupied the provinces for me. Hopefully my ally isn't too "generous"...

 

[Sfan]

If you don't have AoW, just avoid controlling the sieges.
