WC: How to manage in time?

[KaiserJohan]

Three quick things:
_ you have manpower 0. Usual for new players but your need to learn how to lose less manpower in wars.
_ you don't have power projection at 50+. You should basically from very soon from the start of the game up to the point where nobody is string enough to be your rival (and still, when you have one rival left, wage a big war against it and seize the max number of provinces to have +100 in power projection, at -1 a year that gives you close to a century of bonus 3 MP/month).
_ you have empty forts. Just destroy all of them, they are costing you money that will be better spent elsewhere.

As for the maps, your small presence in India is an issue. Also it seems you don't colonize in Philippines, this is an easy trade company to create.

I echo this; Forts are largely unnecessary and you should always be fighting offensive wars, not defensive ones. Build up your alliance network so that it will deter any possible aggressor. You should make it so you are never declared on and delay any coalitions as long as possible - ideally never get any. Get mercs to solve the manpower problem.

Administrative early is a given. I would argue it's either a choice between Religous or Influence+Humanist; in which case I would almost always go with influence+humanist. Religious have been pretty much nerfed constantly with late Deus Vult and no more BROT to counteract AE.
Most religions have enough missionaries and missionary strength decisions anyway and late game you want to be able to conquer new land and have zero unrest from day1. Diplomatic later on for province warscore cost reduction. You'd want Exploration or atleast parts of it for a Colonist/Explorer to snake your way around the world to open up new conquest oppertunities like getting a foothold in India before that subcontinent becomes one enourmous blob.

As others have mentioned having good income and land is more important than pure development numbers. Once you approach the Age of Absolutism you should stock up on military points, lower autonomy and use the -33% harsh treatment mission reward and just spam harsh treatments everywhere to max your Absolutism very early on and then go crazy

EDIT: Also get DotF as you will constantly be in war
