It occurs to me that it might be possible to have a very low centralization, and then just stay at war all the time. The low centralization ought to reduce the War Exhaustion to something managable, and staying at war will prevent BB wars.

Isaac, when going for a late game WC (which is the easiest) you should always be narrowminded 0 and serfdom 10. Then it won't take you 2 years to gain one stab. In some games (starting as big Europeans) I have as well been able to build 50 FAAs. That helps a lot.
The latest one I have stats from is a WC with Makassar played in July 2005 on 1.08 Apr 20 beta (no change of stab costs between 1.08 Apr 20 beta and 1.09 as far as I remember).
Playing an European nation your income will typically be higher but also the stab costs but income more high. I had a supergame with Venice where I in 1809 with a completed WC had an income of 5,700d per month and stab cost of 33,000. In that game I had 50 FAA almost from start of the BB wars.

Code:
YEAR BB FAA STAB COST INCOME/MONTH
1753 52/54 2 3,000 800
1765 369/55 4 18,000 1,400
1774 504/53 4 25,000 1,850
1788 658/53 8 33,000 2,740
1806 WC 800/70 ? 36,000 3,640Damn right it's cruel!
The amount of times I've modded, buggered up, reinstalled, repeat, and so on, this game in the last 4 or 5 years is insane. It's the worst game ever made.. yet... the best.. so.. addictive...

Thanks to all of you for your advices.
I have found some useful hints in this thread too. I think I will try to keep stab at >0 all the time when at peace ---> policy sliders and bb points-management will be important during BB wars. I see no other way. But being Orthodox will not make it easier (many many provinces with wrong religion even in Europe).
