Really, the ideal is France concedes defeat, but Spain expends a lot of its resources and you don't expend too many, and you can flip right around and DOW a weakened Spain and gain independence. While it may be advantageous to let them take the brunt of France's troops, I would be sure to help enough to avoid the even worse fate of being under France and having to fight them to regain freedom. It sounds like Spain is the less powerful, and thus the prospects for regaining your own sovereignty are better under them than France. Regardless of the outcome, you are going to be the lesser partner in a personal union the only question is with whom. It was rather embarrassing in the War of 1812 - Russia was sending swarms of troops against the Swedes, but with a 10 or 11 Military Tech advantage, the Swedes won every time.ДЄs for Angst's game, I would suggest firstly not playing Ironman, and secondly siding with Spain. So between 16, they made zero technological progress. But they couldn't suppress the reactionaries well enough, so they never got above 25% westernization or so. They tried to westernize, and while westernizing they didn't invest in research or ideas (presumably because research would be cheaper afterwards). That was actually a key factor in my Italy game an alliance with Russia did wonders against the Ottomans. Russia less OP? But then they wouldn't be such a good ally. (Also, I'm #%В¤$ing prissy about it, I had carefully managed an international alliance for about a hundred years, partly with France's allies, so I wouldn't get DoWed by them now I have to start completely over after this war)

What will happen if the Spaniards win? What will happen if the French win? Should I help Spain against France in this war or should I be throughoutly defensive, trying to undermine Spain? I don't know the succesion war mechanics, I want to be free again, but don't know how. I'm allied with Spain against France in the War of Italian Succession. Long term, a personal union won't work for me I'm waaay stronger and I want to expand on my own terms. What can I do in this situation? What should I do? Really, in all pragmatism, a permanent alliance with Spain is very profitable for me short term. In fact the last time I played this game was a month ago, I ragequit when it happened but want to turn the tides around.

To make matters even worse, there is now a War of Italian Succession between Spain and France the latter is of course very overpowered and I have no idea what to do.

But my king died and Spain inherited me, and now I'm in a personal union under Spain. I played Milan => Italy and is currently the most powerful nation in Europe.
