Intentionally choosing to never have new world colonies because I don't like the gameplay associated with them.

I never do this, unless I want to play a colony heavy game.. how exactly is that a bad thing? I'm serious I'm not seeing how this would be such a big mistake, please enlighten me.

Start with Innovative ideas as Golden Horde.

Meaning to peace deal one of the allies of the target, but forgetting to actually make the deal with them and not the war leader. Meaning I peace out a country I'm trouncing and whose lands I want for some money instead of the lands I want, and having to wait for the truce to time out.

Happens to me at least twice a playthrough. Worst time was while I was finally beating the Ottomans (who blobbed like crazy), but instead of making them release all their conquests, I peaced out for like 1k ducats.

Attacking the then Golden Horde as Muscovy, waeking my armies and then being Gangbanged by Novogord and Lithuania. Or that one time I took Pommerania as Bardenburg and a bunch of German minors, led by Hamgurg, declared a coalition and took down Bradenburg, Saxony and Bohemia. Or the time I formed Great Brition and as such got killed by a dying Scotland and strong Ireland. Or finally the one time, as England I declared on France to advoid a PU with Sweden and then realising I had a heir. First and last where Ironman, rage quit them all. God I was a horrible player at the beginning, and the start of the middle.

Really early playing EU4 - my first "successful" game.

My first time fighting the 30 year war.

I had not come across the wargoal Show Superiority before so I thought you had to win 80% of battles to win the league war.

Consequently I didn't systematically siege anything , just roamed Europe trying to keep to the woods/mountains and looking for fights I could win in grasslands.

Without carpet sieging and the old Show Superiority being almost impossible the warscore never got much above 10 for either side for very long.

That war may even have gone for 30 years. Only time I have seen the Peace of Westphalia.

Recently?
Playing Muscovy after having been away from some time. Having Livonian Order as a vassal and thinking hmmm lets force convert them to Orthodox. Unfortunately Ottomans thought this was the perfect oppotunity to support liberation and declare war. Lets just say that was game over after i messed up with the fort ZoC and got a stack wiped.

I have resigned myself to the reality that I will regularly allow ships to sit outside of supply range until they sink. Can't be stopped. I cannot seem to train myself to never not notice. Having an army drown probably happens every month. Something is wrong with me.

Hahaha, i am 100% identified with this :D El Dorado DLC helped me a lot, though - you can just order your small stack o'fleet to explore and they will never get forgotten or sunk. So long, sinkage of early carracks! So long, hiring new explorers!

Giving lands belonging to the HRE to my subjects, thinking that since Austria was my ally it would not react.
I was kinda disappointed when my 10 years of constant fighting was made useless.
