You can release dead countries as vassals, but you have to give them all provinces they have a core on, they'll count against your diplomatic relations, and freeing them from vassalage will cause a huge loss of stability.
Is there any way to expand the territory of your HRE-vassals? I'm the emperor and have Bavaria as my vassal, but I seemingly can't give them territory. When I want to sell them territory, they refuse because "-1000: Province X belongs to Austria and Austria is the emperor". Wouldn't it make sense for them to accept territory which I willingly give them? Also, can I force someone to give a province, which Bavaria has a claim on, directly to them or do they need a core on the province? It doesn't seem that they can get cores on provinces they don't own. Am I stuck with a Bavaria that will never be bigger than 4 provinces?
Is there any way to automatically pause the game when you discover a new province and/or your army/navy stops moving?
Yes, I've seen both of those somewhere in the message settings. You can access them from the escape menu.
Diplomacy window, click "view your own country". It should now be replaced by "Create vassal". Now either create a vassal that gets Danzig upon creation, or some other vassal and sell danzig to them. Then, break the vassalization (it's a diplomatic action).
Alternatively, get a 'Danzig Patriots' rebellion and let them make Danzig independent.
What's the formula for how much light ship protection contributes to trade power? Are there diminishing returns?
I believe each type of light ship has a different value. Barques give 3 trade power per ship, the next gives 3.5 per ship, etc.
As for diminishing returns, just note that your trade power is relative to the trade power of all other nations' in the node. So that value you see in the trade mapmode is actually super duper useless. 300 trade power is huge, unless the total trade power in the node is 1500, then you're only getting 20% of the collection/steering and it would take hundreds of barques to make much of a difference. If you're the only one with power there, light ships will do absolutely nothing. If you have no provinces in the node, then light ships are going to make up almost all of your power there and with enough you could, say, redirect all the trade Portugal and Spain are routing to Sevilla onward to Bordeaux and take all the gold for yourself.

I looked there and just looked again - and definitely don't see any option that halts the game when a unit has finished moving. :-(
How do I unite Japan as a Daimyo?
I currently control all of Japan directly as Hosokawa. The Emperor and the nation of Japan are no more. I have every province cored. I'm not getting any option to unite Japan. In a previous game, I got the option after rebelling against the Emperor and taking the throne directly, but I didn't get the achievement (presumably because I was now the Emperor, rather than a Daimyo).
Basically, how the heck do I do this achievement?

What would happen if you own a huge blob or a defensive tech country with 600k+ manpower (basically no one can stop you), and you go on a conquering spree disregarding overextension? Will the revolt risk eventually cap out at some value?
Perhaps this is a bit speculative... but do you get any "genetic" benefit from marrying countries that have awesome rulers? Kinda like how in CK2 produced better offspring depending on the traits of the parents?
Pretty sure overextesion caps out, so revolt risk along with it.
Very much doubt it.
Question: Where is the option to excommunicate when you are the Papal controller? I was the controller for certain periods and I couldn't find the option. I looked in the Holy See screen, the Religion screen and the Diplomatic screens and I didn't find anything. There were icons in the Holy See screen that stated I could call a crusade or excommunicate a catholic nation, but that's all the tooltips said. So, how does it work?
The diplomacy screen should have a new subcategory called "Papal actions" (or something to that effect). You need to expand that to see the excommunication and crusade options.
It is in the combat section: "when one of our units arrives at its destination"
If you have modified any message settings you will have a messagetypes_custom.txt file and this setting is UNITARRIVED.
Thanks for this. I was looking for it in the military section and though I skimmed over the others as well, I didn't see it. And was very grumpy.
For the last HRE reform Renovattio Imperri do you need everyone's support for them to be in the nation, I have the support of all but one, will they still be part of the new nation?

Make him a general and make him fight all battles. If he is old enough, I dunno.
