Hello there,
Was wondering if anyone found a way to reduce the chances of being caught while trying create a CB?
Thanks

It would be nice if these reforms would have this effect shown in tooltip. I got no idea which reforms affect this (except press rights but I know this from forum not from game)
Nothing actually directly affects detection chance, it's a set % per day. What you can affect is the speed. Less days = fewer chances to be detected. Your ruling party's war policy affects the speed, with Jingoist being the fastest (and this is mentioned both in the game and the manual). There are also some events that can fire while you are making a CB, you are more likely to get the good ones with a State or Censored Press, while a Free Press is more likely to embarrass you (we don't list every possible event in the game, no space and keeps things interesting, but they normally make sense if you think about them).
I get detected after a week or month usually, so the detection chance is set way too high.
I usually have events slowing me down, but I haven't been detected recently...
I sneaked a "Demand Concession" today and I wasn't even Jingo... Luck plays a role.
I sneaked a conquest on Afghanistan. I was a bit surprised when it happened.
Playing as Persia I attempted to manufacture a Conquest CB on Afghanistan. Even though I was detected relatively quickly, it only ended up hitting me with 10.5 infamy points rather than 22.
Im glad censored press and State press have their advantages. Of course Im going to stick with my precious freedoms.
I'd agree, but you have to use even more diplomatic points now, so you're more limited by them than anything else. In fact, I think the biggest problem with the game is diplomatic points. I understand that they are trying to make it more challenging to take over the whole world, but it also means I sit there doing absolutely nothing for years. On topic, I like the idea as a option, and think is just about fine as is, but it should still be totally possible to go and take over the world if you've enough power. Hell, you shouldn't even have to "Declare War." Of course it would probably drop the everyone's in the world's view of you, but I don't like that it's so limited. You should be able to break the current rules of the game, even if it means a huge penalty.
It takes two points just to improve your relations by 15. Great powers also seem much more likely to jump you if you move outside of your starting area unless you boost relations. For me, this expansion has meant a lot more sitting around than actually playing. I guess I should just try playing as Prussia or something, but...
It takes one point to offer war subsidies, which improve relations just as much (more?) if your economy can take a bit of a hit.
It takes one point to ask for military access, which if accepted, boosts relations.
And the first step to any expansion: Check Great Power relations with the country you are attacking! If they have "friendly" relations, seriously consider if it's in your best interest. Spheres are right out as anything below a secondary power.

The great powers don't seem to go to war very often, so I've never even had the chance to offer war subsidies. Hell, the first war that The UK entered was to conquer my land. However, uncivs already have a hard time with money. Not that it's impossible, but still hard. It's also "impossible" to ask for or give military access to even bordering great powers. Same with offering an alliance, even at the very start of the game.
Edit: As far as expansion, the areas that I took had no relations with the great powers. I took them without issue, but years later they declared war on me for no reason. It was also not to "free nations;" it was purely conquest.
my DP's nearly always sit at 9.0 even when i play uncivs, tho they would be handy to have more so i can puppet panjab before they are sphered
