Have you had your king die with the heir still underage. REgency council swoops in and wont let you declare war. So annoying, like republic in Civ 2.

Right then.
I've bought this game (I've got a feeling I've got it before also, but a while ago, suggested from another site)... I've done some reading around, watched some Youtube vids (best quote I found was "This game has a learning curve so steep it should be described as a wall") and finally read this An Empire Under the Sun on the Paradox forums (damn that forum makes me never want to buy their software ever again). I think I might now finally be able to start a game and take the pause button off Will get back to you if I work out how to play this

What, you played for 16.3 hours and only just got to unpausing the game? The best learning curve is unpausing and immediately declaring war on a random neighbour. That'll teach them. On a more helpful note, this walkthrough is worth reading.

OK,
Starting a new game, England, 1399. Stability slider full right and troops started in overseas states. Merchants sent to core and some stability advisors hired. Unpause. I get the conquer Ireland mission, seems like as good a start as any. Build up some troops and push into Ireland. Or try to. Spend 10 minutes trying to work out how to get troops into a boat, before working out that transports work as a kind of bridge and have to be in open water before you can move troops to them. Anyways. Will cut a long story short. I occupy all 4 Irish provinces with troops and siege their forts. I beat all forts and then wonder if I really need to wait 50 years to gain the province... More scratching of heads. I get offered lots of peace requests from Irish provinces but unsure whether they'll give me their province (they seem to involve me paying them!) I decline all. In a moment of inspiration I look at offering them peace and see a nice shiny option called Annex. Swiftly pushing on I take the whole of Ireland, go Team! An un-pause later and I win my first mission. Prestige is getting high, I'm number 1 in the world Infamy is just over 7, apparently my reputation is tarnished. Next mission, Scotland! Thankfully they're not allied with France anymore (not sure when that stopped) and sometime during the fight with Ireland I allied with Burgundy. I keep getting peace requests from some places in Europe, I decline them all, will wait until Burgundy stops fighting them before I peace up. I move my army across from Ireland to Scotland and kill the Scottish army. I move troops to all provinces and lay siege to their forts. Then I had to get off the train in London for work today, so that's it for now. I checked my ledger just now. It's November 1402. I have 7.5 Infamy (3rd biggest badass! ) I have 97 Prestige (No.1 baby ) Stability is 3

What difficulty level? Also, infamy 7 is peanuts, I'm over 40. Tends to screw with merchant compete chances though...
I had the same problem when someone stole the Azores from me. Apparently you can annex colonies outside peace negotiations.

I couldn't see where to change the difficulty level, so I guess I'm playing Normal.
Where would you go in the interface to annex something outside of peace?

If you capture a colony that isn't autonomous, the "scorch the earth" button (in the army box) changes to "seize colony". This is especially useful when you're invading America, since a lot of the indian lands are basically colonies.
Also, I noticed you're playing HTTTTTTTT, not Divine Wind. Why?
