Does enforce culture on a subject really work? I've never had any luck with it working....
I've used enforce religion a lot and usually convert the subjects provinces for it....

It changes only their base culture. You can check it on the diplo screen, and in their province (if they hold province of your base culture)
 
When selecting a Policy there is no power cost at the moment. Is it, because I have a golden era?
Thx in advance.

Is it your first policy in that category? That one doesn't cost anything
 
If a country joins a coalition at AE -57 and in the following years it ticks down to over -50, can the country stay in the coalition or will he automatically be kicked out/leave?
It will stay in the coalition. The AI will usually leave if their opinion of you if higher than +50(even if their opinion from AE is still below -50). If they don't leave it often helps to restart eu4/reload your save game. The coalition handling guide has more details.

Usually they leave because they don't hate you enough anymore. But sometimes the AI is AI and does not calculate wethere or not to leave, which is why you should restart regularly if you want the AI to do things they usually do in certain situations (i.e. leaving coalitions, listening to your vassal commands, making peace when they are sitting on a 90% offensive war for 10 years).

Generally it's also worth to increase relations with coalition members up until the point where they stop being outraged, they should leave too.
 
I have a quick question about the HRE vassals. So when you revoke the privelegia you get vassals without taking up diplo spots. But Im wondering, if you conquer say Russian provinces, core it, add it to HRE then release a vassal to feed Russian culture to. Will that vassal be a HRE vassal without diplo upkeep and instant annexation or will it be a "normal" vassal?

As long as it's in the HRE as a prince it won't take up a diplo slot.
 
Even if you release said Russian vassal after you revoked? Thanks.
Yup. You can exploit this to the extreme if you're smart about getting capitals of countries into the HRE.

(This was done in Ironman, I just moved it to a high resolution computer to take this screenshot. )

The important part is to include the province in the HRE before releasing. If the capital province is in the HRE, then the released country is in the HRE and so your vassal without taking a diplo slot.
I am not just sure if it works if you use the release vassal button. It certainly works if you click the button to return a province to a country, and this ensures that the province is in the HRE when you release it from the province panel. It will release the country without a vassal link with you... but as a HRE member, that will then become your vassal.
So it works only for European provinces. Then you can create a HRE vassal on the European side border of Asia and then give it provinces on the Asian side, it will remain in the HRE (but won't be able to integrate its non-European province to the HRE)
 
Just to be sure. I will start a game with Florence and plan to form Egypt (for the achievement) then Italy (for the other achievement that I don't have yet). The other way don't work as Italy is an end-game tag and so can't form Egypt, but Egypt is not listed as an end-game tag in the wiki so I should be able to form Italy with Egypt. Right ?

Yes
 
What's the craziest someone can go in terms of CCR? Wiki states that -80 percent is the max reduction but is that still possible to achieve without custom nation?
The highest I came up with was taking Mongolia with their -25% from national ideas, another -25 from admin ideas and then taking the mandate and activating their imperial edict for another -20 putting me on -70 CCR. This could also be done much quicker with oirat but with "only" -65 CCR with their weaker national idea of -20 CCR.
Are there other tags that can do that?

I was also Thinking about seperatism is -25 The highest one can get without being a custom nation and/or having the ruler trait for additional-5?
-5 from being a horde
-5 from national ideas
-5 from a gov reform
-10 from humanist ideas

Oh yeah I forgot about that button. Thanks for the answers!
