Liberating vassals

[trevi2]

In the year 1653, I have made a general attack in many zones acquiring packs of provinces all of them toghether, in several continents, with the idea of creating vassals and feed them with the provinces acquired. Nevertheless I can not release a single new vassal of the new territories -even though some of them are countries by themselves (I have the three Tunisian provinces for example), and who were independent a few decades ago - no 150 passed, so no loss of cores could happen- and the only vassals I can create are the previous I could to the attack.

Is there any way to solve this?

Any help?

It's not clear what you're asking, but the usual reason for not being able to release vassals is that the provinces you hold with nonexistent country cores do not have those countries' primary culture. For example: if Bavaria has been annexed, and you take a province with a Bavarian core, you cannot release them as a vassal unless that province has Bavarian culture.

Currently I have 10 provinces in the African Magreb, conquered to Morocco, Algiers and the Mamelucs, why can't I release a vassal there?

That screenshot is meaningless. Are there any greyed-out cores in any of the provinces? Do any of those cores' primary culture correspond to the culture in the province? If the answer to either of these questions is no, then that's why. There is no way to solve this.

I'm going to guess it's because you formed the HRE. Never form the HRE, just leave it at Revoke Privilegia.

All the grey provinces in the map are mine, and yes the HRE was formed. If I core a province, and put Austrian culture in it, may I then release a vassal? I do not understand it sorry.

Why do you think you do not have to form HRE? In the revoke privilegia, the fact of counting with so many vassals, give no diplo points, so you can not expand, so I do not understand it either. I read this fact of not forming HRE a lot of times, but I don't get it.

You may release a vassal when you own a province which has a core of that vassal, provided the country does not already exist, and if the province with that vassal's core has its primary culture. If either of those are false, you may not release the vassal. Since you formed the HRE, chances are the cores are gone. See the Bavaria example from before.

Gonna quote myself here on the final HRE reform:

Enacting the final reform is terribad because you lose all bonuses from being Emperor, your vassal swarm, the many base country bonuses from your vassal swarm (e.g. 50 princes = 50k net manpower/year lost, ca. 100 net force limit lost, etc.), special features of the HRE (free vassals, HRE provinces) and literally everything else. On top of that, you get what is arguably the ugliest country color in the entire game.

Personally, I think Renovatio was added as a joke, like the comet event. It's the only thing that makes sense.
