I was playing with Milan and had 3 provinces. I had a war and after losing the second provinces, automatic peace was done with me paying some 500 ducats and seceding a province. Why did that happen? WS wasn't 100% - I still had a free province.

Where was your third province ?
Now, the human player can be forced to peace when he lost control of all cores and of all provinces connected to the capital.
If, say, your three provinces were Lombardy, Mantua and Corsica, and your only core is Lombardy, you'd be forced to peace when losing control of Lombardy & Mantua.
The same would happen if you did own 50 provinces in Spain, France and the HRE, but they're not connected to your capital.

Ah ok, the other province wasn't a core and was not connected with the capital. That's why. Thanks.
It would be so nice if you could do this to the ai. Taking a colonial nation like Portugal or the Netherlands is so much more difficult simply because you can't get a good warscore thanks to a 1000 population colony in Indonesia.

Yeah, but who likes ferrying troops halfway around the world to capture an undefended colony worth absolutely nothing just to get 100%?
Well Portugal did relocate it's capital to Brazil when the motherland was occupied and continued to fight.Duke of Wellington said:
It's not that big of a deal IMO.
It makes it so you need a global reach with your ships. You need some military access or colonial ports around the globe.

A good point. When I think about it now it does add an extra element of strategy to it all...
