Wait, what is this, a PU, with France, as England?
the Angevin empire with reduced France?

First Citizen of Rome
During the reign of Emperor William II Plantagenet.
When William took the throne after the death of his father, at age 15, his armies were mostly in France trying to keep French rebels from deposing the English and restoring De Valois to the throne. Therefore in an attempt to placate the French and streamline his government. (He has an administrative skill of 8 and his diplomacy skill is 7, his military skill is only 3.) He implemented the Anglo-French Union and incorporated both flags into one national flag. This seemed to have calmed the French down as the revolt score dropped quite a bit and rebel stacks stopped popping up. William has secured his throne and proceeded to clean up his borders led by the General Edward Norfolk, a military strategist and tactician who has brilliantly led his armies in a brutal but efficient campaign to incorporate the numerous French satellites into the Anglo-French state.
By the mid point of Williams reign the campaign was deemed a success, those French fiefdoms that were not conquered are either Vassals of the A-F Union or are in a Personal Union with us. Williams conquests also included the vassalization of Scotland and the forming of an alliance with Hungary and Sweden. (The latter which will be useful as I intend to form the North Sea Empire and dominate Europe even more.
William continued to show his administrative and diplomatic skills as the A-F Union has controlled the Papacy for the last 40 years and determined the outcome of 6 Popes, all with the full backing of the Anglo-French Union. Castille and Austria were forced to heel when they declared war on us and promptly were excommunicated. Since then no major power has dared strike us.
Henry IV is of age and is preparing to assume the throne upon the death of his father. Unlike his father but much like his grandfathers, the 3 Edwards, he is a warrior, cunning and brutal, as shown in the French campaign, and an efficient Administrator as shown when he organized the French Army into 4 different fighting units called Corps. (If you noticed the military stats, Northern Corps-AoF, stands for Northern Corps-Army of France.) This new organizational command greatly streamlined the issuing of commands and set response times for each corps to respond to rebel threats.

Th issue is less me liking it than it not working on my computer, I still haven't gotten the demo to work and it appears that many people are having issues with it crashing. This worries me a bit, I'll still probably get it though.

For me, the demo crashed, but the game runs well.
My only problem is infamy. I'm really great at getting it above 20 or so, but I'm too impatient to wait for it to come down. Are there any ways of lowering it faster?

Hire a diplomat (infamy minus whatever amount). Or cheat.

The Cabinet NI (once you get to the tech requirement) is never amiss either.
Especially when it cancels out your 4 Unlawful Imperial Territories
Speaking of unlawful, I just broke the back of Austriarggh
Forced them to release GH, Kazan and Kazakh in the latest war, and I've been sending spies to their remaining Asian territories (to cause revolts). Which pretty much leaves them with their starting territories and half of Hungary.

Nice. So is the plan that other non-horde nations will conquer the hordes before Austria's peace with them expires, and to fight Austria again in 5 years should the hordes still be ripe for Austrian conquest? It'd be a shame if you went to all that work and Austria re-colonized the horde lands, which Murphy's Law dictates will probably happen.

Build an Embassy. Send your ruler into gallant but hopeless battle if he's a dud diplomatically. Release nations as vassals.
Or just ignore that you have high infamy, build a huge army, and face huge amounts of rebels and very many wars. I did this once and got up to about 280 infamy, thanks in no small part to unlawful territory. But I think it actually made the game less fun since, in addition to military troubles, legitimacy went to 0, stability went to -3 and it cost 77,000 ducats to increase, inflation went to the upper teens from 0, trade income disappeared, and my technology went from top-notch to average (in Europe) over time.

Murphy's law doesn't count in EUIII.
It's Johan's laws of Hordes:
"a. If there is a direct connection between Central Europe (Poland, Lithuania, Bohemia or Austria) and a Horde an aforementioned power will take control of half Asia because there was a horde in the way.
b. it is not possible for any horde to come farther than a) China, b) Pakistan or c) the former Yugoslavia, unless a horde is played by the player(s).
c. the first law always counts, even if a Russian nation conTROLLs the whole horde territory.
d. Because the Russian always loses.
e. Kashmir cannot expand.
f. Neither can the rest of India.
g. Bithnya cannot be Golden.
h. Constantinople cannot be Timurid.
i. Hordes are always at peace with each other.
Exception: Kazakhstan and the Oirats

Almost. What I'm actually hoping is that I can conquer my way (through Austria) to having a border with GH and Kazan before anyone takes too much of their land. It seems to be working so far, in that nobody has taken any Horde lands, while GH have at least managed to nab the province of Georgia off of the nation of Georgia.
This is particularly impressive considering the 25 level tech gap between the nations (Austria, Smolensk, Muscowy, Novgorod) and the hordes.

My first real game. Transylvania in Death and Taxes after 10 years. I told Hungary on the first day that I wasn't their vassal anymore. I annexed Moldavia and made Serbia my vassal. My allies are Austria and Bulgaria Now I am waiting for my infamy to go down and get ready for my next war against Wallachia.
Don't want to, he's 9/8/8, and his heir is only 5/8/7, and my infamy is falling again.

Why am I so behind in tech?
I now that I have an insane amount of provinces but it seems illogical that just because I settled most of the Americas, South Africa, Oceania and Eastern Russia as Portugal, I'm now some 5 or 6 levels behind my European neighbors and am on pair with countries like Morocco or Algiers, considering that I'm not only European, I also spend most of my money on research.
Meh, infamy, constant revolts and super slow research put me off of this otherwise great game.

If it hasn't cored, it tends to be a drag on research.

Other than that, I don't know what it could be.

The cost of your techs is proportional to the number of provinces you have. So if you're settling crap provinces they can do more harm than good in your research.

Ahaha, it must be because of the title "Research too slow"
I'm not American, not religious, not I watch videos about it.
On topic, how can I catch up on tech now? It doesn't seem right that just because I managed to settle most of the world that I should fall so much techwise.
