31 Mar – Cape Coast now Andalusian!
1 Apr – Our truce with France is up.
1 May – I can enact a new government reform
What makes sense?
Do I want a regional representation or more a state is me and I am the state philosophy for our deliberative assembly? I choose the state is me and we get 5 more states
Oran is back to state-ness and I order it to be cultured to Berber again
1 Aug?
Ready?
Today is going to be a big month for our Empire:
We get Government Tech 14 which lets us build the Plantation Manufactory and we get another Group of Ideas.
Plantations will help coffee, tea, sugar, cotton, cocoa and tobacco.
I order Plantations with my cash I’ve been saving, and the event I got in the war, to:
Cumana
I also order a Farm Estate in Cape and Zamora
Our new idea?
As we have two Military ideas, we cannot choose another one. I can talk any Dip or Admin Ideas though.
Expansion? Trade? Dip? Influence?
I could do two DIP ideas right now, but I am very close to the next tech that I don’t want to lose my saved DIP power for a long time.
I am down to Dip Ideas or Expansion. Expansion would explode my expansion. But I could also really use the extra Diplomats, dip relations, and permanent reduce to my warscore claims.
I do Expansion Idea, but I suspect Dip is my next group.
1 Oct – A great war has broken out across Europe as Catholic fights Protestant!
This may be a good opportunity to poach a few prizes
1 Dec – DIP TECH 14 – We can build Trade Stations which are a manufactory for Slaves, Spices, Furs, Ivory.
11 Jan, 1563 – I get a bonus event some ADM of 75 and that gets me to the 306 needed for my first Expansion Idea for another colonist. I send this one to Ile Bourbon in the Indian Ocean
1 Sept – MIL TECH 14 – We can build upgraded forts called Bastions as well as having better cavalry. I upgrade my horsies
11 Sept – Baladu-Walid converts. Next? Calatayud!
I am trying to decide on a target for war. Papal States? They are allied to Naples, Aragon, Milan, and Switzerland. I could try to bring Roma under my aegis. But I doubt warring on the capital of Christianity would slip under the radar like some other potential poaching I could do on the fringes right now
My truce with Aragon is up in three years. Not soon enough. I could wage war on France? Morocco? Their ally is the Mamluks, so that’s not where I want to look right now.
Let’s get ready for Papal States
1 Nov –
Trinidad – Sugar, 10 dev, Andalusian, handed to my Isles, Sunni
I send these colonists to Cuba.
12 Dec – Corsica converts and my next target is Sassari
