I spent a couple years pumping ships out, and once I had a fleet of about 12 carracks and a few smaller ships I decided to go poke my nose around. Unfortunately I happened to be at war with England, and a fleet of 64 carracks annihilated my little armada. WTF, England? | ||

All the Khanates to the southeast are annoying as hell because you can't annex them, and you can only "invade" as fast as you can recruit colonists. | ||

I've just given up and accepted their peace treaty for most of their provinces; but then my reputation goes down!? | ||

So a large conquest is not always the best solution. When you have taken a province you have to wait 50 years before your country recognize it as your own. | ||

I've just given up and accepted their peace treaty for most of their provinces; but then my reputation goes down!? when you win a war of course you should be the one setting the conditions for a peace  left click any province of the opposing country, in the bottom left will open a window which in it's top has a button which allows you to set the peace conditions. the next window that pops up will tell you the % which your current conquest is worth. This % number gives you a general direction of how much you can demand from the enemy before they will decline your peace offer. 100% being the maximum. You got the options Annex, Demand Tribute, White Peace ( nothing for anybody), Give tribute of course if you win you want to annex them if they are a small country meaning around 3-4 provinces. You can only annex when you won the sieges in all of their provinces. Demand tribute should be the option used the most. Depending on your Casus Belli you get varying bonuses on the different forms of tribute you can get e.g. a reduction of the infamy gained through annexing provinces. Annexing whole countries, provinces or vassalizing them will give you Infamy, if you hover over the Infamy number in the top right of your screen you can see a limit on the start it should look like this 0.0 / 33.0 the first number is your current infamy and the second one is your infamy limit. Go above this limit and every country around you will gang up on you because they simply hate you for your warmongering. I hope this helps you a bit | ||

Any bigger, and the price for vassalization is listed at >100%. Aside from infamy, is there ever a reason I should vassalize the remnants of a conquered nation rather than just annex them? you can later annex a vassal through diplomacy which gives you a lot less infamy. Aside from that a vassal is a reliable alliance partner, pays you money, and depending on their size can field soldiers to help you out. | ||

Watched it too, but couldn't stand the voice more than five minutes and just gave up and started testing myself.. Honestly you just have to hover your mouse over shit to see what it does.. Trial and error solves the rest. Took me about three days to understand it all. A few things still bug me when it comes to naval combat (how the fuck one pirate shit can kill a 300 stack of threedeckers (late game caracks) with full 4 star morale 0 attrition damage and a good captain, but that's about it. I usually stick with ground wars in Germany anyway as I find that the most exciting. Screw colonies :p | ||

That was one of the things I hated about vassals in total war games: you are eventually forced to go to war with them anyway. vassals are forced to help you in a war when you are allied with them, they cant refuse | ||

Personally I like the inflation reduction, the diplomat for infamy reduction and then depending on what country I play third advisor most of the time one who increases tech speed. | ||
