Any way to NOT inherit PU?

[PancuterM]

For example if I am playing Austria and I PU a half eaten Hungary, I don't want to inherit them because I want to restore their lost core provinces first. Or you simple don't want to inherit them country because that would put you over governing capacity.

What can I do to not inherit them?

Did you get the Hungary PU early on via the mission/event or did you get a random PU later on after others had eaten away at them? How long have they been a PU (needs to have been at least 50 years for a chance to inherit a PU). You can scroll over them in the diplomacy tab and see what your chances are of inheriting them.

I know. This is just an example. I am not playing Austria right now but the last time I did, I inherited both Burgundy and Hungary very early and I could not state their provinces so I was effectively weaker than before

Drop your diplo reputation and stability. Diplo rep contributes +5% chance to inherit per point stab is +1

Read this thread:

How junior partner inheritance really works(Hint: it is not a dice roll)

tl;dr the important new information is in the second paragraph of The Basics section and in the Inheritance Value section The Basics Inheriting a junior partner can happen when the ruler of the senior partner changes(dies, abdicates, new ruler...

Essentially, it's pretty hard to control, even if you're willing to spend the time to check the inheritance value constantly, when one of its constituent values changes. As Dunner said, you could play with your diplo rep or stability (only positive values affect it), to try to decrease the number the inheritance value is checked against, but even that's situational, since you might not have positive stab to decrease or a diplo rep advisor to fire on the spot (or OE to get to decrease it momentarily).

It is kinda a flawed system and you don't have much control over it... Ideally There should be some sort of button in the subject tab that would make it impossible to inherit a junior partner. Like you said sometimes you just dont want to inherit and rather keep a subject.. and you 100% should be able to do it.
