Prussian Colonialisation

Build naval bases. They're the only way to get naval range. You can check your range by mousing over a prospective colony.

To change opinion, go to the Diplomacy screen and look at the list of countries. You should see a rectangle divided into 3 parts with all 3 parts gray. Click on this rectangle. It affects how much you're influencing a country. Eventually you will see an alert at the top of the screen telling you that you've accumulated enough influence.

trying the tutorial isn't all wrong

The best way to expand into Africa or the Indies as Prussia is to take Dumyat region from Egypt and build the canal as well as a level 6 port. Then you should sufficiently be able to reach as far as need be. I generally take that region and then the Christmas Islands just west of Java. That region should put you into range of the Pacific islands. Just make sure that each island you 'hop' to that you also build a port there and get it as high as possible, so you gain the range to expand. Alternatively you could take Omani Somaliland and annex Brunei. Those two areas will give you sufficient range if you build ports to take pretty much anything in the east that you want.

I got into a war early with Portugal and took Macronesia, Southern Angola, and Mocambique and started to build ports in those states to give me naval range for asian conquest and colonization. I did this while playing the SOI game with Austria/France/UK thinking that I might as well be doing something with my infamy (since I wasn't interested in taking territory from Austria (trying to establish nearly historical borders in Europe.)
