My allies have even worse quality than me so the more Ottoman troops I can tie up the better, and they're at war with Muscovy as well. I'm hoping that just through mass waves we can get them down to medium for a negotiated peace

odds are ai peaces out before ottomans run out of manpower because ai is retarded
your best bet is waiting for them to siege hungary or sth, ship your entire army to constantinople, rush the siege with naval barrage and get a peace deal for a couple provinces

not hard. you just look things up on the wiki as you go. and you dont need to know the ins and outs of every little mechanic to play a successful campaign.
also dont fall for the tutorial island meme. pick whoever you like in whatever region you like in whatever start date you like and figure it out as you go.

The Polish economy is propped up by massive EU highway investment which exists solely to facilitate transportation of cargo from factories outsourced by Western European companies, a construction industry that pumps out luxury apartment blocks the average Pole will never be able to afford, and the inflated western-style service sector called Warsaw which competes with dirt cheap jeet IT labour.
The average Pole has seen very little benefit from capitalism, bar the crony elite and the boomer nouveau-middle class that managed to build wealth from working in the west and build a big house back home before costs all got out of hand.

Memel because I needed trade range to collect in the Batlic and T.O. doesn't have a core on it. Gotland because I needed to be able to get a cb on Stockholm to remove a center of Reformation. Collecting in the Baltic because it's more profitable and when I'm overextended I use 1 merchant to boost improve relations/siege ability/spy network construction through trade policies as you get a heavy non-main trade node malus. I have a big coalition cucking my expansion in Italy and Egypt so I want it gone asap

by using a merchant to collect trade you're losing out on the trade power multiplier you get from having all your merchants steer trade. i'm betting you don't have 100% control of genua, so that's a mistake
giving that land to your subject would give them more control over the baltic trade node therefore more money and would make them build up to their bloated march force limit and make them a much more formidable strategic asset
