When I go to justify a war, i always seem to get caught. What can i do to reduce the chances of me being discovered? For reference, I normally play as Prussia as Pro Jingoism and normally get caught at 20% or meaning I take a lot of infamy hits.

1.5% chance everyday.
The chance of getting caught in 100 days is 78%.
The chance of getting caught in 200 days is 95%.

Ok so there is a chance at getting caught each day. Thanks for clearing that up. Now it makes since what advantage a jingoism government has over say anti-millitary.

I think the purpose of that system is not for you to get free wargoals, but to make the amount of infamy you get from them more random; you're supposed to get caught.

I prefer to think that I will get caught with the highest infamy, so then when I get caught at 1/3 of that I think the gods have smiled on me.

My first game I went over the infamy little within 2 years, whoops!

No matter what measures you take, it's primarily the RNG.
You win some and you lose some.
In my last game I scored a 21.6 conquest and a 3.1 conquest CB.

With luck and lots of saves, I managed to annex all of Sokoto's border allies with around 20 infamy.... (got caught the first time, but always got lucky and got the 25% increase in bonus)

It's random, I've had plays were I was constantly caught, I had others were I was justifying CBs left and right and my infamy was super low. Your government type will have a great effect on this, as certain reforms can increase justification time to 300+ days, while fascist dictator ship is around 70-80 days I believe. Which means that even when you get caught 20 days in as fascist dictator, you are already 25% done and take 25% less infamy.

Also for those that like to cheat, you can justify for 0 infamy by saving around every 10% completion of a CB and then reloading when you get caught. That way you can make it all the way to 100% without taking infamy. Not gonna argue about using this here or not, but it's a possibility, in single player games at least.
