"Unlikely" doesen't mean there's no chance at all. I had the same situation, I tried on and on and after couple of attempts I succeded

I think it depends also on the size of your vassal, a single province vassal will be easier to annex.

I had an 'unlikely' chances of annexion with England on Scotland (like you : no infamy, good prestige, king with diplo skill 8) and it succeded on the 1st attemp

"Unlikely" is usually as high as it gets. From my experience, I'd say it's still approximately a 15% chance of success.

Yeah, i've noticed this. I'm playing as Aragon, I have 80 odd Prestige, No Infamy, 66 Legitamacy, and when the decision came up, the chance to Annex Navarre is "Very Unlikely". That strikes me as very odd.

the highest it gets is "maybe". I was playing as TO with, I believe it was, Pommerania as my vassal. When it was about 25-30 years an icon near the top of the screen told me to try and annex

I've even seen very likely :)
I think I've had a much easier time annexing big nations in HTTT so far. I annexed 15 province norway diplomatically today, I wouldn't even have attempted that before :)

This said, I think it should be hard. It almost never happened historically.

It's probably a cultural thing as well. I didn't even plan on annexing my 5 province Lorraine vassal until the message came up that I was likely to do so. All the provinces were burgundian, which is in my culture group.

On the other hand, I have never been close to getting anything higher than very unlikely for my german vassals.
