Two additions to the table. Could be, that these are already covered by the extension. There are so many pointers, it's easy to oversee some of them.
Pointer 1: Heir legitimacy (this way you can prevent pretender rebels for heirs with weak claims)
Pointer 2: Government capacity (the one you increase with spending reform progress, i.e. setting it to 5 means 5x20=100 additional government capacity)
In addition a small script to reveal the address for the curia controller. Changing the tag as well should set you in power even after reload. Don't freeze the values and reload a game, as this will most likely crash the game (however I never got a corrupted file because of this, but I never played ironman as well). I had no problems freezing the values and playing the game.
debugging addresses:
(A) eu4.exe+821E6B - power projection
(B) eu4.exe+3ADFAB - placate ruler, paid loans
(C) eu4.exe+3ADE57 - liberty desire from actions (use negative values)
(A) This way you can easily get 100 power projection. Conquer a province from your rival, find the address and set it to 100000 (value 100 x 1000). You can try to use a higher value, but the game will cut it back to 100 maximum.
(B) You need to placate your vassal at least once, otherwise there is no address to be found. Same goes for paying loans.
(C) This one should be revealed right away and requires no actions. You need to enter a negative value here (Cheat Engine will translate it correctly)
(B) and (C): The ingame values are capped at -100% each (placate ruler, paid loans, events). However, the game will remember the original value and diminish from there (i.e. using 5000000, which is 5000 ingame, will set the value to -100% for maybe the whole game). With all 3 set to -100%, you should be able to control even a great power as a vassal.
How to use:
1. In the middle of cheat engine on the left side, there is a button called "Memory view"
2. In the new window on the left side are the addresses, right-click on any address and choose "Go to address"
3. fill in one of the addresses (i.e. eu4.exe+821E6B) and jump to that point
4. right-click again on the chosen line and choose "Find out what addresses this instruction accesses"
5. Debugger will open, confirm with "yes"
6. (for power projection only): switch to ingame and hover over your power projection to see the tooltip
7. the debugger catches the addresses, these are valid until you reload a savegame
8. stop the debugger (
important!) and double-click on a value to add it to your table
Do note, that the functions you access here are used for all countries in the game. That's why it's important to stop the debugger, once you got your address or it will slow down your game. Other than that, there should be no harm done, as to my knowledge Paradox didn't implement any precautions against hacking the game.
