How do I get CBs for Asian countries? I don't want to keep taking a stability hit everytime I declare war. I'm playing as Spain btw.
For me:
Pre-1650 -> DoF + Holy wars
After 1650 -> Imperialism
Not sure if you don't mind 4 inf/province, if so, warn every nation that has an alliance to the one you want to attack (including that nation of course), so you'll have a chance to fight them directly/indirectly.
