When forming Spain diplomaticly as Castile, you get the event to change traditions and ambitions, but are they different? Wiki says we can swap to the new National Ideas but i cant.
Castile and Spain have the same idea set so you won't see that event.
Aragon has the Form Spain Diplomatically decision. Since Aragon and Spain have different idea sets you'll see that event if you use the decision as Aragon.
You'll also see the event if you Form Spain Militarily as anyone other than Castile, such as Aragon, Portugal or someone who culture-shifted.

Going for Mughal WC, have defensive and exploration ideas fully filled out, 3 into admin, and 1 into religious. year is 1594. Should I abandon exploration for a better idea? or should I discover the rest of the world first, which may take some time. Or abandon it for either Diplo, influence, or offensive. I have siak and Utsang as vassals.

It is a bug in the decision, I suspect. My guess is that the decision triggers that event for any country when it should not be triggered for Castile whose ideas will not change. @Trin Tragula is that right?
Your ideagroups are a bit trash for WC here. Defensive is a strong group but well it is mostly... defensive. For a WC, the best military idea groups are probably offensive and quantity and the best groups overall are Religious for free no unjustified demands CB pre dip 23, admin to core cheaper, influence because a WC requires a lot of vassals that become cheaper to integrate, and diplomatic for reduced warscore cost. Exploration is almost useless for a WC, except maybe the first two idea to conquer some areas under fog of war and to get bridges towards landlocked natives.
From the date and the groups you have, I would call a WC really hard if you haven't already expanded a lot westwards, and it doesn't seem so because I see Ottomans and even Hejaz. I advise you play it until the end, but if you somehow don't make it, you should restart with a starter being
Admin-Influence-Religious-Offensive-Diplo-Quantity imo. This order I would chose as the Mughals, because Religious isn't needed immediately, maybe even Offensive before Religious depending on where you are, you will get free claims on India for first easy expansion.

When stealing maps, there is a requirement of having troops present in an adjacent area. Whose? My troops? Or the nation I am stealing the map from (to remove FOW or something)? Do subject nation troops apply?
Your troops. Bare in mind that the sea counts as an adjacent region as well. Having light ships pirate around Constantinople let's you acquire russia and the western part of Asia as an african minor.
So I have a question concerning breaking an alliance (great power ability).
When I broke an alliance between a minor and a great power, and looked to declare war on the minor, it said I would get a -5 stab hit, cause we have a truce. But I can't see any truce with neither of the two parties I broke the alliance between.
Is the truce bugged out? If it is meant to be there, when will it end (when the two former allies' truce ends?)?

Are you looking at their diplomacy display or your own?
Because the truce is probably one-sided: you're forbidden to attack them, but they're not forbidden to attack you.
These truces are one-sided and only show up in your own diplomacy tab.
The truce is onesided. Once you force someone to break an alliance, you have a truce with them that lasts exactly the time during which they can't really. So either you declare on the day they are out of truce so that they can't really, or you force the other state to break the alliance, to be able to attack your real target.
If you are A, force B to break alliance with C, you have a oneside truce on B but not with C. You see what I mean? So if you want to attack B, see if you can't instead force C to break alliance with B. If you can't, wait the end of the truce and attack the exact same day.
Without these limitations, this would be far too easy to be a GP.

Question about Colonialism.
"Appears after 1500 in a port province in the same area as the capital of its owner. The province must be in Europe, Asia, or Africa, and the owner must have the Quest of the New World idea, and have discovered the new world."
So I don't need a colony in the new world then? Or is the wiki wrong?

I'm sure it's been asked before:
Why is my army fort blocked? I have access through Morocco. The Tlemcen fort isn't in an adjacent province. Shouldn't I have been able to retreat into Moroccan territory?

You sure you're fort blocked, and not just moveblocked because of your low morale?
Alright I'm an idiot.
I just assumed I was fort-blocked because I was not allowed to manually retreat (yes, morale was over 0.5) into any direction when I was in Tlemcen. Which makes me wonder: why was I trapped there? Army entered from Kasdir, why can't we move back out through Kasdir -> Figuig -> Morocco? Manual retreat to Figuig was impossible, yet the army shattered there after the battle was lost.
Is it not possible to shatter into neutral territory, even if you have access? I thought it was but it's been a while since I played.
I have just forced a Union over France as England and noticed that France is the leading candidate to become Curia Controller when the Pope dies. Is this WAD? Can a junior partner in a Personal Union become Curia Controller? His king is my king, does that mean if France wins, it is in fact England that becomes Curia Controller?
When Playing for a Colonial Nation Achievment. How soon do you HAVE to take over said Colonial Nation?
Modifiers that last "until the death of the current ruler".
If my ruler at the time of the event is a consort does the modifer last as long as they are alive or as long as they are ruler? I'm fairly sure I lose the modifier when my King comes of age and the consort lives on because in the actual game files they are referred to as ruler modifers, which by their name can only be applied while the person "rules".
Seems like a slight oversight in the event texts after the addition of consorts.

I don't quite understand your question. Which achievement do you mean? There are no time limits on any of the achievements to do with CNs. If it's too late to colonise the provinces yourself you must take land from the CNs of other nations.
