Also make sure to retreat all your units from foreign land after a war is finished. If you forget a stack there, it will constantly produce quite a lot war exhaustion.
How to keep a monopoly? I have 6 Cots, full mercantilism, own 100% of goods traded there, 99% compete chance on everybody and STILL get kicked by some OPM like Firenze or something in a year or even less. Is it even possible to have a constant monopoly?
WE is increased by:
Having your homeland's provinces blockaded
Having same continent core provinces occupied by another country
Armies suffering from attrition
If I had to guess I'd say you're fighting in transoxiana and the himalayas during winter. Just reduce the total number of troops fighting abroad.
Hold your mouse over the WE number and it will give you a breakdown of the causes. It's almost certainly attrition caused by having too many troops in a province. The solution is to spread out your armies except when actually fighting a battle. And never siege with more than 2-3k (unless it's very late game and you have massive artillery stacks for the siege bonus).

I'm waiting to military westernize to the western tech group (I need another slider move vs centralisation and I'm done).
Once done will something be different (in attrition) or it will be the same?
Before long, an event should occur making the Papal State reemerge in a TheocracyWhat happens if you annex the Papal States in DW? The Papacy continues to exist, but what about relations with the Papacy? Do they get frozen at the point where it gets annexed? Since it's no longer a country, you can't influence it through diplomatic relations. Can excommunications still occur?
Thanks in advance for replies.
Catholic Archbishoprics will get an event that will reform them as PAP, if the annexer refuses the event Cede Rome to the Pope. If there are no more Catholic Archbishoprics left, the Papacy ceases to exist.What happens if you annex the Papal States in DW?

But I have no idea what happens to relations when they cease to exist.
1) ThanksRelations simply are left out of the equation of anything that has to do with the Papacy. The Curia Controller has 100% control.
In this game with Hindustan I have no provinces blockade nor any territory occupied (I'm fighting with 3 hordes every 5 years).
I also retreat fast when I finish a war because I know the problem of forget some troops in other countries.
The biggest problem is the attrition (because of the territory), my armies are
15000 infantry/7000 cavalry/2000 artillery.
I will try to split them.

I've seen people post empires where every coastal province has a naval unit docked. Does this increase income somehow? I'm especially inquisitive as to whether this helps colonies/overseas provinces out. Also, same thing with dropping a unit on top of every grain province, does it help?
why does my WE increase during a war even if my troops are in my territory and enemy troops are still in their territories? (internal territories, so no blockaded ports)
The ideal to the get the most out of colonial empires is to have at least one small or big ship per overseas provinces. I rather use one small ship per 4 coastal zones though, and use the rest in naval stacks to protect my empire from external threats.I've seen people post empires where every coastal province has a naval unit docked.

How should I mix infantry and cavalry with artillery?
