If I as a European nation colonize America, move my capital there before any CN forms and then move my capital back to Europe..
Will any CN nation of mine form in America in my colonized provinces?
 
In one of my games I started as custom nation in Great Britain, after some time I killed the English and took the decision to England.
I wonder what happend to the dead English cores?
Do the cores of dead tags disappear? Or do they become my dead cores?
Does separatism always disappear if I become the dead tag?
 
Except of maybe changing the War Exhaustion, does it make any difference if I am in a war over 2 years instead of having peace the same time? Do I lose (trade) money or anything?
(I may have to declare a war and just wait)

Trade money is heavily affected by your goods produced modifier, which is in turn reduced by your war exhaustion, so in that regard yes.
But other than WE, you don't get other maluses simply for being at war.

If you're going for war reps and peacedeal money though, note that your opponent is also affected by his WE and his occupations. You get less when he's crippled.

You get less autonomy reduction. (There's a -0.10/month modifier for being at peace). Also if you're at peace you could decrease army maintenance and a few diplomatic actions become impossible (and coring land becomes impossible if you are at war with a nation who has cores in the same province).

Ok, so you started out as not England in the GBR region as a English cultured nation. So...

I wonder what happend to the dead English cores?

You are now England, those Old-England cores are now your cores, if I understand it correctly.

Do the cores of dead tags disappear? Or do they become my dead cores?

Yes, dead tags cores will disappear if 1) The tag was not the primary tag for the culture (i.e France ----> Francien, OR Irish ----> Ireland) and 2) 50 years have past for the core on a non-related culture province (Prussian Core on Krakow ----> Not Prussian ----> 50 years duration for core if lost) 3) 150 years duration if tag is on primary culture or same culture (Ormond ---> Irish Cultured Core ---> 150 years if core lost).

Now, if you form a nation that doesn't exsist then the old cores are now your cores. The tag has, to the game, been revived.

Does separatism always disappear if I become the dead tag?

Separatism will go away after immediately once you form any nation formable nation, from what I've found.

Hope I've answered your questions. If you have any follow ups, please ask.:)
 
1. Castille has a male ruler and Aragon has a male ruler. Still the Iberian Wedding happens all of the sudden. How can that be? I thought there has to be 1 male 1 female?

2. How can I reduce the opinion MY country has to somebody else. I am Papal state, I want to excommunicate someone who is outraged about me and hates me, but MY country views them as "+16"...

Was one of them in a queen regency?

Try sending alliance / RM / Access proposal and get denied, at least one gives you a relation malus.

1. Iberian Wedding can happen if both countries have a male ruler, but one is too young and there is a regency.

2. You can try to ask things from this country if you are sure they will refuse. The best will be to rival them. Also you can try to set their provinces as vital interest for you.
 
The Event "too high taxes" doenst say anything about the length of the modifier.
Shall I assume that it gives the provinces +5 unrest FOR THE REST OF THE GAME?!

No, it's a temporary one. Usually it's 5-10 years for pulse events like that.
The game will notify you when an event affects you for the rest of the game (like the infamous Dhimmi building restrictions).
 
Does the Emperor of China still get mandate points for winning a defensive war on one of its tributaries? Thx!
No you don't gain mandate for winning the defensive war.

If you look at the unrest breakdown of the province, it's put at base unrest. And it will reduced at each month tick. The modifier is will begone in 5 years.
 
How could I get a CB against someone I do not border, who is far away, so that I could wage a war and make them release someone?
Its Lithuania, they shall release Livonian Order...

No-CB, best CB! :)

nocb looks to be the way, BUT, LO is rather difficult to release. They are Prussian culture, but live on (mostly) non germanic lands. If they didn't core any german culture land, releasing them is not gonna be easy at all.
