Is there a way to request something from your ally when they call you to war? Korea calls me to war against a minor nation, and I know that we'll get to 100 WS quickly. I would have liked to gain a couple of provinces from the war. I couldn't find a way to make such a request (I have all the DLCs). The war ended with Korea making our target a vassal, and I ended up getting nothing. In fact, I have yet to get anything of consequences from any wars that I've been called to join in EU4.

I kept the occupation of the 2 provinces I wanted for myself, and transferred all the others to Korea. Did not really help.

My understanding is that the AI will give you provinces if you have claims on and is feeling generous. If you want something from a war then I think its best to siege down as many provinces yourself so that the AI can only take a small amount of warscore for themselves.

But then what? I don't want to do a separate peace and ruin my relationship with my only ally. Would the AI be more inclined to give me something if I have most of the WS?

WS is only needed if you plan to get a separate peace. WP is needed to get something as a secondary participant.

Usually you cover as much stuff as possible since occupation and blockade WS counts for yourself (as opposed to combat WS, which goes to the warleader), then decide whether or not you want to peace out.

If you don't want to separate peace and keep your ally happy instead hand over everything you don't have a claim on.
They will peace out, give you your claims (based on your WP) and everything above that is favors.

And remember that blockading doesn't give WP, losing units gives a ton of WP at once and sieges give WP based on how many of your units are sitting on the siege (for whatever reason).

I increased my WP from 0% to 10% during the last 7 months of a war once just by sitting on a siege. France was winning on their own and I couldn't get there earlier.
Got me enough WP for a free province.

Thanks for the info. I kind of had a sense that's how it all worked since ducats seem to be distributed according to WP.

To summarize, I can only get provinces I have claims on, right (without separate peace)?

If your WP is high enough, yes.

I have also had success (getting the AI as warleader to give me a province) by marking it as vital interest in the relevant mapmode; even without claims. War participation must be high "enough", as it has been said.
 
It also helps if you limit what the war leader can take for themselves by not transferring occupation. This is especially true if the ai didn't promise you land when calling you in. The ai will take what they can get first (including cash and reparations) before it considers giving anyone else land if they didn't promise it.
 
If I peace out on the last day of the month, can I avoid the truce ending before I can DOW again?
 
I'd like to know that as well. I've been working on my truce juggling to whittle down on coalition, and ending wars in the middle of the month sometimes result in the problem that bly08 described, and that nation entered coalition before I can DoW again. It SEEMS that sending the peace right at the month's end will make it so the war ends on the first day next month, avoiding the issue altogether, but I'd still like confirmation from a more experienced WCer (whether that is indeed the case all the time).

Because there is a decision you need to take to become Spain. It´s not just about owning the land (Naples not needed, actually, you don't even need Aragon, just to have them under PU).
 
Are ruler stats different for different types of governments?

Had a horrible streak with a Sultanate with no ruler having more than 5 in total (massive sample size of 8 rulers, I know). As soon as I switched into a Despotic Monarchy I got 7 on average with 12 total points being the best.

Are you ADM level 10? Probably not. BTW, you wasted tons of DIP points to annex them when all you had to do was wait until level 10 and accept the decision to form Spain immediately.
