How is your EU3 Game going?

Inflation can be quite crippling though it's hard o accomplish much without resorting to some minting, especially if you are fighting a lot of wars. Inflation of < 5 - 10% are acceptable though.
1. Get enough transports (1 ship per regiment)
2. Sail the ships to the sea adjacent to the territory your troops are in.
3. Order your troops to march into the sea. Instead of drowning they will board the ships instead. (Note: your transports will be vulnerable to attack. Bring escorts).
4. Wait. Once your troops are on the ships, sail them to the sea adjacent to your desired destination (watch the health of the ships when crossing oceans or they can sink).
5. Order your troops to march onto land. If the land is your own, you can simply sail the ships into port and the troops will disembark.

IIRC transports are disabled in the demo version. Otherwise, what taillesskangaru should work.
Just a quick question, how do you go about making vassals want to be annexed by you (i.e. not Very Unlikely but at least Maybe)? Because in my current Brandenburg game, I've got Silesia, Bohemia, and Pommerania as vassals, and I want to annex at least one of them to help improve my economy (most likely Bohemia). But they're all at "Very Unlikely". Could this be because of my high infamy (15/28)? Or just lower prestige ( its at 30, which is pretty low, even though it's the second highest in all of Europe)?
AFAIK, you need very high prestige and very low infamy. Chance will also increase if you share the same culture and religion. Also, the longer the length of the vassal relationship the more likely the vassal will accept annexation. I think chance will decrease if the vassal has any existing diplomatic relationships or royal marriages with another country; I'm not sure on this though.
Ok, so I'll breed a couple of infamy killers then get into a good war.
And actually, just one more question. How does one go around changing dynasties/inheriting countries through kings? Do I just spam royal marriages (I have already) or do I have to do something else?
Don't know about HTTT, but in IN it's very rare to be able to inherit countries. You can increase your chances by having a Personal Union (usually after winning a War of Succession) - if you and the junior partner country have very good relations there's a small chance you'll inherit the country once a new monarch takes the throne.
I am not sure. The alliance remains intact though.

HTTT has a better inheritage system with dynasties and such.
I have HT3, but is spamming royal marriages the only way I can go about his? I've already go my dynasty (Holstein) on four other thrones than just mine, and all of that was just royal marriages (I think). Basically what I am asking is, "is there a more proactive way to go about this?".

If you claim thrones you can get a Casus Belli on the nation that you claimed on which is special in that one of the peace treaty conditions can be a Personal Union. Alternatively you can claim a throne and wait until their King dies. If they don't have an heir you'll either get a personal union or have a succession war with another nation who claimed their throne.
Claiming a throne however badly damages relations with all the nations you have royal marriages with and if you got to war immediately you'll get a stability hit from having a royal marriage with your enemy.

God, why am I so terrible at this game? Everything was going fine in my Brandenburg game: I was Holy Roman Emperor, I destroyed Austria, France was being destroyed by its neighbors*, I had spammed royal marriages everywhere, the only thing I needed was a better economy. So to fix that, I invaded Bremen (who held onto the delicious Lubuck 
), and so I decided to take the province. The thing is, that by doing that, I would have to go over my Infamy limit but .05. But of course, .05 was too much, and sooner or later, and practically had the entire world at war with me. The worst part is, I lost the save to before I took Lubok, I was having such a good game too! 
It's kind hard to tell who I am, but I'm that brown blob west of Poland and northwest of Hungary.
*This story is actually pretty interesting. You can't see this on the map, but Austria used to be massive. I mean they held everything from France, through Switzerland, Bavaria, Venice, and Hungary. France was also pretty beastly, holding most of France (besides the places England usually has and Brittany). So one day, Austria decides it's in it's best interests to invade France. This is of course, without any allies for either side. And for about 2 or three months the two massive armies keep attacking and destroying each other around Switzerland. They get down to the point in which each army is really only about 8,000 men. And it is at this time, that everyone pounces. And I mean literally everyone. Austria is destroyed and dismembered by all its neighbors (including me
), and France is taken down by Lorraine and Brittany. England gets involved later, but only with Brittany (who took practically half of France). Lorraine also held onto pretty much every territory Burgundy usually has. It was pretty cool to see all the OPM take down the two largest empires in the game.

1) It's late at night, I'm still playing but I need to go to bed. Suddenly, I get a call to arms from my ally, and it's a difficult decision. I choose to save my game and take a decision the next day.
2) Next day, I reload my game and... ... The call to arms isn't there anymore. The alert is gone. I can't accept or decline it. I don't seem to lose my alliance either after letting the game run for a year or two after that.
Am I dreaming? This seems to have happened twice. The first time I thought "um, I must have had saved before I got the call to arms, and upon reloading, the random dice decided that the ally was not going to send a call to arms this time". ... ... But it happened again yesterday and I was like "ok that's weird".
Call to arms are often tough choices for me and they are usually an event that makes me go to bed when I'm playing the game, so this particular situation can happen to me quite often.

You know I think I've had that happen too. My normal play style is to stop playing in a relatively calm period so I don't normally have any alerts active when I stop, but early on in my campaign I was finding that if I saved when there was an alert it wouldn't be there when I resumed.
Another little question. In my game Burgundy (my allies) went to war with Inca and pulled me into it too. I quickly took 5 Incan provinces and chose to seize them, wrecking my reputation in the process, then I sued for peace. That was all how I expected it to happen. BUT, Burgundy is out there still and took around 1o provinces from the Incans and their reputation is still 'respectable'. Does reputation not work the same way for AI powers as for the player? Is there a way to take provinces without hurting your rep?

Are you playing HT3? If so, it's probably because Burgundy had a Casus belli, which would probably have reduced the infamy he was taking in. While you, who just helped fight as an ally, didn't have a Casus belli, so you took the regular amount of infamy.
I had that happen to me, too the other day. I guess it's probably a bug.

I'm still just on my first play-through on the vanilla game (planning to get the expansions for next game), and I actually had a casus belli too against Inca IIRC. I had cores on most of the provinces I seized.
Yeah. When you reload, any call to arms or event box that are there when you save disappears. It's... useful.
