It isn't too bad now imo. You need a strong base of power to challenge them from, at least as strong as a unified Japan, but then they very much can be beaten. The AI tends to completely deplete their manpower by fielding way too large armies in the Siberian steppes and regularly leave themselves open to invasion. If you leave them alone completely they will usually just spend their monarch power on developing their provinces instead of expanding, as they turn all their neighbours into tributaries.

The real problem isn't that you can't take Ming on if you're a tributary, it's that you can't expand into it's tributaries without having to fight Ming, and Ming can have lots of tributaries in lots of places.

Trade

I would also very strongly argue for Offensive ideas over Quantity. If we end up fighting nations that have properly stacked military bonuses, we are running the risk of getting our armies wiped.

Quality/Innovative/Offensive is a good combo (unless Ofaloaf modded policies).

Better yet, quality/economic/offensive/innovative is a rather amazing combo for policies. +5% discipline, +20% infantry CA, +10% artillery CA, +10% Siege and +1 siege pip on all generals is rather sick. Also bonus +1 fire pip on all generals from expansion.

Are the two freed crowns stilled ruled by our family?

IIRC no, they get a randomly generated king of their own culture.

Also, wrt the Gothic colonies flipping to kingdoms in their own right, Brazil propped up the son of the Portuguese king as their own sovereign. Maybe the gothic court appointed members of the royal family as colonial governors, and the colonials now propped them up as their new kings.

If anything the only thing that should be changed about Vicky 2's mechanics is the economics. I wouldn't know how aside from not making some types of factories inherently unprofitable, but the distribution of trade goods needs less insanity and capitalist ai should be a little smarter about which factories to build.
