I've been finishing up an old 1.15 campaign, but unless something's changed since the event-granted Colonial Enthusiasm modifier just resets the duration on the one you already have (both the missions and the events give a 10 year modifier IIRC).

Not in a normal game of EU4, no. There may be some weirdness if you have both Catholics and Fraticelli in a CK2 converted game though (not sure how this works).
Is it really possible to re-form the Roman Empire with France or Castile in Ironman mode? thx
Any Christian or Pagan country that is not the Papal State or the Holy Roman Empire can form the Roman Empire if it owns the many required provinces.
France and Castile are good choices.

- Does Paradox ever remove beta versions? i.e. if I update my game to the latest version, can I revert back to 1.18.4 a few months from now to resume a 1.18.4 Ironman game?
- Is it possible to play with Mare Nostrum but disable Condottierri?
1. No. Yes you can revert back to 1.18.4 (but I think 1.18.1-3 has been removed). However major old versions is still available from steam. Think 1.4 is the earliest version you can play.
2. No

Does colonial nations colonize outside their colonial region?
Eg. Does British West Indies colonize outside the Carribean if all the islands are populated?
Eg. Does British West Indies colonize outside the Carribean if all the islands are populated?
I have seen them colonize but only provinces which bordered them. So if this an actual restriction not coincidence or preference a Caribbean CN has only a single border outside the region that is unlikely to be free is not going to colonize.
Yes they will. I had an Alaskan CN and he would colonize in the California area.
I'm in the Ottoman early game and already swimming in gold... is it worth buying Defender of the Faith? The bonuses seem quite nice and with my starting ruler, I'm not short of MPs either. My main concern is will this drag me in war vs all of Europe before I'm ready? Am I gonna be pulled into wars constantly? like when Spain/Portugal attacks N Africa?
From 1.18 patch notes:
I'm unsure what other restrictions still exist.
1 already answered above: Beta versions are removed (so 1.19 beta 1 and beta 2 don't exist anymore, and you can't get the new fort change that was reverted unless you updated to the 1.19 beta 1 and backed it up when it existed, for example), but 1.18.4 isn't beta.
As for 2, you might be able to alter the defines to set maximums of zero, provided that the AI respects that in your version and at your difficulty, but this will break Ironman, which I'm guessing is not what you're after.

Well, makes great sense to rival Spain. And I'm sure Portugal will not even dare to DoW on N. Africa, if Ottoman is the DotF
it does NOT work like that.
DOTF only gets called in versus attackers of his religion on his HOME continent aka Europe) So, only who attacks Kazan, Crimea and the like can call Ottomans when attacked.
@Heindrich you got little to fear if you take DOTF, it might mean attacking sunni beforehand around Black Sea, to avoid them calling you in if Poland/Muscovy attacks

Do not hesitate to take DotF as Ottomans. As atwix said, the only calls you may get is if Russia/PLC attack the hordes, but they probably wouldn't dare, or you could just smash them. This is a great way of preventing them to expand anyway, maybe the best.
Country A is my powerful, long-time and staunch ally that owes me lots of favours.
Country B is my relatively weak, neighbouring rival.
Country A and B are allied and are extremely friendly with each other.
If I use my favours with Country A to boost trust, will it make Country A less likely to defend Country B (and thus no longer be my ally) should I declare war?

It will not, defensive call to arms always come first.
What you can do is declare a war and pull country A in, then attack Country B separately, Country A cannot defend Country B as they are in a war on your side already, Country A and B will remain neutral, and you're free to attack Country B.
Hmm... I thought as much.
Yeah, I'll try looking for targets elsewhere and do this.
Thanks.
Just keep in mind that if country A doesn't join your war against country B (a likely scenario) then if you peace out of the "side" war country B can & likely will call country A into the war against you unless you are already beating them badly (war score greater than 25 in your favor and stays there).

Which DLC's should I get for playing as Netherlands? I currently don't have the rights of man, eldorado, mare nostrum and cossacks.
Also how do privateers work and should I use them?
