Yes for me war is the most inresting aspect of the game but I don't like pointless wars just for the sake of being at war without gaining anything. Maybe now when taking land is so expansive I will more often release nations but I still have to ask my self if it is worth a war
I really don't like marches since you will have them for a really long time. For example if you play the ottomans you have no need for that big vassal since there are always new nations to diplo vassalize and marches just ocupy a diplo slot.
Yeah, best I ever managed was hanging around in the 3XX% range for half a century and despite the 100+ stacks dying pretty fast without inflicting much losses the sheer number made it is very annoying to deal with.
Right, use claims only before getting Imperialism CB and when the nation has the same religion than you, or if the province had a too high base tax. Otherwise, it will get you crazy AE.

*snrk* EU3's overextension modifier would have been terrifying if minimum_revolt_risk worked as a national modifier parameter.In EUIII was that
It is actually not that hard, if you`re willing to take on extra cost. You should mostly be able to match historical achievement, but how said you shouldn`t have to sacrifice tech and get some loans to do so?
Zaporozhian Cossacks were not a horde, by any count. First, they were settled. Then, they were vassal, of the Polish crown, although unruly one. Then, the Crimea and later, Muscowy supported their independence, they revolted, peaced out, and later, Muscowy subjugated them. Under Russia, they had been a pretty typical vassal, with Russian king picking/confirning leaders, upper ranks of Cossacs becoming Russian Nobles. Then, after some of them sided with Sweden, they were annexed into Russia proper for fear.
