What if AGGRESSIVE EXPANSION really was JUST A NUMBER? (EU4 1.35)

In today's Europa Universalis IV (EU4) video we will be removing the effects of aggressive expansion from conquest and seeing how the AI handles a world where taking whatever you want in war essentially has no downsides with your neighbors.

    My favourite government reform is "Stratocratic administration", the Prussian republican counterpart to Prussian monarchy, when your ruler dies, they are replaced by your best, general, and their monarch points depends on their number of pips. Keep your mil tradition high, take some ideas for good leaders, and you'll consistently get rulers with about 15-18 total points

    Maybe base manpower could be interesting, just make it so that manpower levels are greatly inflated, whilst obviously still boxed in by the force limit it means any AI could just come out of nowhere and build a massive army - as they tend to do just randomly deciding to do sweeping army changes. Potentially also a large base unrest for all nations as a different idea, making nations much less stable meaning countries are going to spend a lot of time fighting themselves, could either do Infinite rebels i.e. >200 unrest or reasonable rebels

    Since ae is mostly an issue for new players, specific situations and locations and early on, i'm hoping for a follow up that deals with the main things that limit expansion: ccr, war score cost, siege ability, truce time and overextension. Also several other, perhaps lesser things I'd put over ae ( the ai should be hopeless at) like integration cost, diplo slots and gov cap. You can milk that cow all the way to eu5. Don't expect the ai to fully take advantage, but you never know
