1.Is there a difference in quality between regular(primary culture) troops and colonial(non accepted) like in vicky 1? If not,then i can see no reason not to have my Zulu and other native soldiers forming into infantry regiments and my more precious primary culture into artillery.

2.Is there a point in amassing a small arms and canned food stockpile prior to a war? Will the regiments reinforce from that? Or it is simply the national stockpile slider that affects their supply?

3.Likewise,when a f.e artillery regiment is disbanded does its equipment(artillery) return to the national stockpile? Or is sold immediately to the WM? Or ,even worse, is lost?

4.What about country production? Does everything you produce first go to the WM and then you buy it back, according to prestige? If that is so, then won't the No1 prestige country treat everybody else like it is in their SOI?

5.Does the occupation process works like in Vicky 1? In explaining, do specific culture soldiers get a "bonus" in capturing their same culture provinces?Or is it just the reconaisance factor of an army that affects the occupation?
 
On 4, no.

All goods you produce go to the world market, but then your nation has first call on purchasing them (and without paying any tariff rate you have set). So if you produce 100 coal, and your nation needs 45 to fill needs for factories, POPs and whatever the State needs for its uses (constructing factories, units etc), those 45 are supplied first to you, and then the balance 55 go to the world market to be purchased by other nations, with priority given to the highest ranking nations (although in V2 I *think* anyone in your SOI gets dibs on it before other nations, since they are also considered part of your domestic market). Your production goes to your nation's needs first, it is only the balance that is sold on the WM.
 
1. You'd be better off using your primary culture troops for the guards unit.

2. If you stockpile supply items then you'll be able to train new units without impacting on the supply of your units. The national stockpile slider controls purchases of these items but the AI only buys as much as you needed, so when you start training new units there wouldn't be enough in the stockpile to supply your active units (since they went to the new units).

3. Yeah, don't think you'll really miss those items.

5. It's the reconnaisance value.
