EU4 How the fuck am I losing this battle?

How the fuck am I losing this battle?
So the game just made me pick between these three heirs...
For reference, that's just about 80 years
Is this war winable? My objective is take Warsawa with 60 dev.
Why is the AI so weird in the latest patch? Is the AI like this for everyone or is my game broken? The year on all of these screenshots is 1657.
You may have met Moon Moon. But have you met..

My first Italian play through. Tuscany was pretty fun and I am rich as hell.
Does anyone know how this works?
In my Portugal game, Britain got a PU over Russia
I guess they don't desire it all that much after all

How I broke the game as post-colonial Caribbean

Long story short released and switched to my CN in the Caribbeans.

I was already GP, over governing capacity, bunch of garbage land and plutocracy as my only option as 4-year republic. Don't really like merchant republics, but it was meant to be a temporary solution anyway.

Then I came across the nice button to create trade cities. Since I had no friends there and lots of land to sacrifice, I created a few, just to see what happens... and now comes the fun...

A Trade city follows the client state mechanics, therefore they clone your idea groups. Yes, Exploration, Expansion... So they start colonising on day 1 and "betray you" and leave your trade league on the second. However, you can ally them on day 1 and most likely they will accept vassalization straight after they leave.

I think I don't have to explain too much what this means. Colonising vassal swarm in iron mode, without mods or cheating.

And if it is not enough... well, you can actually give them a bit more time. If they meet the conditions, they can form various colonial tags and still likely they will accept vassalasiation. Yes, again you heard it. You can have a colonising vassal that has clams on entire regions like Mexico :)

If you still don't think this is truly amazing... well, just create a or a few trade cities on the Ivory coast. Let them go berserk. Some of them will colonise Africa for you, some of them will create CNs in the world :D :D :D

On a side note obviously you cannot get the extra merchant. In the colonial regions that is not a problem, since you wouldn't get them anyway. In the TC area though you will have to balance it out, or just wait until the whole thing can be annexed.

Also keep in mind that vassals have aggregated liberty desire. This was completely manageable for me until 1600 (didn't get past it yet) as the colonial region has some horribly poor development.

If things go south or if there are some that never accepted vassalisation war is still an option. At least you will have an underdeveloped enemy with your religion and your culture. And for this reason actually it makes sense to create a bunch of more trade cities beyond your diplo slot limit. So they won't be breed to vassalize, but to be conquered. But again, by then they will colonise with your religion and culture.

Yes, merchant republics are truly the best :D :D :D
