Thanks. The explanation aboout "natural decay" matches with what I thought before writing my question, because de decay parameter began to going down as my prestige was also going down. Maybe it's a "balance" parameter for not having a too high prestige for a long time if you don't make anything in order to preserve that level.
As Hungary I acquired a province (Krakow) that had a University. After the conquest the university is gone.... (that's why I attacked in the first place 
)
Is this a bug or is it supposed to be like this?

I'm going to keep them coming because this has thread is helping me so much:
1.) Is there anyway to see the military strength of someone without having to go to the ledger?
2.) In my byzantium game i just invaded crete and got an instant +5.00 income pop up right when my troops landed. what was that? spoils of war or something?

1. No. Unless you're at war in which case the war screen tells you what the enemy alliance has.
2. Plunder.
I just allied with Bosnia who was already at war with Serbia. Is there a way for me to join their war without starting my own?
How can I become the emperor of the HRE? Playing as Castile, trying to get the achievement.
I thought there was a "support ally" causus belli. Is there not? Also, you can always tell Serbia to end the war or else with the "enforce peace" diplomatic action.
How do you change government type to some sort of republic? I'm an Administrative Monarchy and all the other options are also monarchies.
Castile is not in the HRE and is way too big to join, so you cannot. If you really want to do that as Castile, well, you could lose all your lands, claim a single province next to the HRE, join the HRE, and then try to convince the emperor to make you an elector and convince everyone else to vote for you...
Better option: Start a new game as someone in the HRE instead.
This was possible through events in EU3, I'm not sure if that's also the case in EU4 though.
Revolutionary rebels. Or a republic with the right national ideas attacks you and tells you you have to be a republic too.
Are light ships useful at all in naval combat or is the ideal battle fleet supposed to be composed of only big ships? Is there a bonus in having a balanced fleet of 50% big ships and 50% light ships like in V2 or HOI3?
Interesting side note. You don't have to be IN the HRE to be voted for. In my current game several of the electors started voting for Poland as the next Emperor. And as an elector you can cast your own vote for anyone in the world. That also happened in real life. Spain was the Emperor. So was Richard of Cornwall.
Now, how you get them to vote for you over Austria, I don't know. Really high relations and poor imperial authority? When I saw them voting for Poland they were at war with Austria.
They're next to useless. You need very large quantities in order to defeat a fleet which contains big ships. 4-1 or more, in my experience, and even then it's not going to be pretty.
Same experience here. I had a pirate with 1 large ship appear off the Cape colony. Rather than send a a few men-o-war down from Europe, I dispatched my Ivory Coast trade fleet to deal with them. 5 light ships vs 1 heavy ship. I lost and the pirates captured most of them. Heavy ships are bad news. You need heavy ships to fight them.
