So a France game, all my neighbours are in a coalition against me. Do I wait for the AE to burn off or just keep pushing into the HRE?
I dunno about you but when I started pushing into the HRE, I quickly got over 100 AE with everyone even with -40% AE from curia and ideas and policies. There was no way I was gonna wait 30 years for most of the AE to burn off, so I've been exploiting the coalition and declaring on allies of HRE members outside of the coalition to make seperate peaces and warring them constantly.
But I don't really wanna fight the netherlands right now, although I suppose I will have to at some point, and I wanna maintain my alliance with Russia since if I get a lucky PU with them, I'll probably get a WC.Hit accept and find out is the only advise I can give
Yeah I'm at 120-150 with most of that entity. So it's no-CB wars from here on in? Aight, I guess, just finished diplomatic so it's just -1 stab. Worst part is that Castille, Portugal, Austria and England are in the coalition as well as the HRE minors, it makes racking up warscore tiresome as hell.
If I annex country A , will A' claims and core remains in other countries?
Any help would be appreciated.

Ah, I have Portugal in a PU and England and Castille are both completely annexed. I focused on those two at the start and spaced out my wars and used improve relations just enough to prevent a coalition from lasting to the end of each peace so now I only have to deal with the HRE.
Well, I've broken Castille and England but the additional fronts are annoying. I probably should've gone against them earlier. The only bits I did inside the HRE itself so far was vassalizing Savoy and Lorraine and taking Utrecht. Probably not the best decision ever, that last one. Other than that it was mostly just fighting Burgundy. I thought HRE minors would care less about Burgundy than that...
What should I do in end nodes that are not my home node? For example, playing as Germany, my home node is in Lübeck and I'm collecting trade from there. I also have almost 80% trade power in Antwerpen, where I'm also collecting. However, I get a malus on my trade power there and the other option would be to steer upstream (which I haven't really a clue what it does). The concept I'm aware of is collecting in your home node and steering downstream towards your home node, but the trade value in Antwerpen and Venice (both of which I have the most trade power in) is just too big to not do anything with it.
If you annex a nation all of their claims disappear. Their cores will remain for a period of time based on when they last fought over them or owned the province in question.
It's the whole catholic thing, for low/no AE with HRE members you need to be beating on non-Christians.
Collect with the penalty or move your trade port/capital to the node and steer into it from your other node(s).
In your particular case send a merchant to collect in Venice with the penalty and move your trade port (if you have WoN enabled) or your capital (if no WoN or would rather drop 200 admin than 300 dip) into the Antwerp node. Since Lubeck only transfers out in one direction you don't even need a merchant there to steer all the value into Antwerp.
(note: the reason to take penalty in Venice instead of Antwerp is that Antwerp is always going to end up worth more.)
Thanks, so steering upstream would indeed be useless. I guess I'll just keep collecting there.
Move your trade port to Antwerp node, it's very easy to get trade from Lubeck there and it has even more opportunities.
I especially like to transfer trade from Americas and Asia through Gulf of Saint Lawrence -> North Sea -> Lubeck/London (depends who I play).

Is there anything that prevents you from militarily annexating a nation that is the overliege of a colonial nation? And then what becomes of the colonial nation, does it remain a viceroyalty on its own?
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you so much, that was the best thing I could do.

Hello, a simple but tricky question:
can a country with a regency council go to war as the DoF?
It would be rather important to know, being that the DoF without a king is France.

If you annex a nation that has CN's, they become yours.
Yes, you can not declare your own wars as a regency council, but you can still be called to war through DotF (or warnings, enforce peace, alliances, et cetera).
It gets rid of the various incompetent ruler penalties for owning more than 9 provinces. If you are okay with only owning 9 provinces or getting hugely screwed by a ruler having <3 in any stat there's no need. Alternatively collapsing to noble rebels is a frequently used plan to achieve a similar result.
