This is why you see OPM muscovy with a huge Tver or some other russian minor. When peasants break a country they also force +20 autonomy. The idea behind the bankruptcies/autonomy traps is this:Д®ach time a province is sieged by rebels it gains autonomy.Д«ankruptcy reduces siege time and increases revolt risk. I planned on taking Porto (Porto is worth something like 48 score, and Lisbon is worth like 56) and another province for a truce break-vassalize before their autonomy decreased. I kept an army nearby so I could siege Galacia before Portugal and vassalize them to intervene in the war and get re-conquest CB as a defender). In 5 years I came back and wrecked them with the same thing again (well actually I took Galacia, sold it to Castile and made Castile release Galacia in another war so Portugal had a core on it and would declare. I then demanded a white peace after they had a rebel extravaganza. I 100%'d Portugal, let peasants spawn every where and bankrupted them. I think crusade is what pushed my vassal army through India. I was curia controller twice, very briefly but the +30% from crusade was enormous. Early game I was running an army consisting of 75% merc infantry and 25% artillery, and plutocratic ideas with the merc pool would have been awesome too. In all my screen shots you notice I never had more than 2 months worth of manpower in the bank. Instead of asking for military access, I just declared war because I got access, and I didn't need to waste an action to revoke it before I declared war. If you see the siege of Africa, India was like that except I had half as much manpower/forces and relied on my vassals to siege it after I crushed the big stacks that would otherwise group up. Bahmis deserved the special mention because they were strong enough to fight off my initial 100 stack and stop it from sieging effectively. Honestly, WC became a formality the moment I was able to throw enough bodies at a nation until it capitulated. Since you have reduced DIP rep you won't go bust on DIP. Another option if you have bonus DIP rep is just to vassalize 3-4 nations, feed them while you annex them. Given this, I would 'wait' out the HRE and let it unify so I could just take a huge swath out of the HRE (likely Austria) with a renegade prince or something and crush the rebels myself. A little admin efficency/diplo ideas/imperialism would go a long way in a coalition war where you could take everything except the leaders capital. You can't have a subject fully annex a country unless it's the last province, so the 2/3 PMs would be very annoying to deal with. Livionian order would be very good for this (they are Prussian culture!) You could use Poland/Krakow/something to Eat up Bohemia and 1 or 2 mega vassals to eat the german provinces. If I were to take the HRE over by force, truces/coalition mechanics would seem to be the limiting factor. I never really planned on actually making a story at that point. Almost all of my manpower came from them.Д®dit: This started from the advice thread here: Д®dit2: - Some pictures from early game. Some one like Austria would make diplo-annexing much easier.Д«uild more manpower buildings. Playing a nation with bonus +DIP reputation. Useful to blow ADM on while you fight wars and don't expect to core anything. I would consider it for the WE and how it affects your colonial subjects, and for Liberte, Fraternite et Egalite to rush Imperialism faster.

I didn't understand unrest/autonomy or how to abuse it at the start of the game so I stayed a regular member far too long. Get exploration ideas as #4 (if not Norway). Quantity Ideas for #2 (and influence as #3) I've got some other nukes I used that I didn't post relating to AoW, most of which relate to assigning provinces in a weird way to allies/vassals. I owned 1200 BT worth of provinces directly.ДЄny qestions are welcome. I can post pictures of charts if some one is interested.

Lithuania/Ottomans/Timmy/Lebanon were over 3.5k DIP each to annex. Despite revoking the privilege pretty late, it didn't seem to matter once I had imperialism/over seas expansion. Lithuania, Ottomans, Lebanon, Timurids, Algiers and Brittany were my vassals most of the game.
