1 July – I claim Siena from Tuscany

1 Oct – Naval Supplies in St. Helena

Sierra Leone

22 Oct – I get a Marriageable Women event and Po grows by 200


25 Dec – Cumana is now Andalusian culture

1 Jan, 1582 –

Let’s unpack our current colonial growth rate:

This is Orinoco Delta currently, but it’s similar for others:

Spread 120/year guaranteed. This is from the follow bonuses:

50 from DIP Tech

+20 Native Suppression Policy

+60 from various Ideas and Policies.

-10 for Tropical

Result? 120 or 10/month.

That means that if I had no other bonuses, that a colony would take 100 months to get fully up to 1000 needed for the colonization process to finish. 100 months is just 8 years.

Now there is another bump:

New Settler chance. While one of my colonists is in this place, there is a chance each month that will get a bonus to our colonial development.

For Orinoco that’s 17.6% monthly for an extra group of settlers.

Right now, we have 895 colonists in Orinoco Delta. Without any more successes at faster growth, we’ll be at 1000 in 11 months.

That gives you a good example.

Compare us to, say, Holland. They are just at 50/year in Para, but have around the same % chance of a bonus.

4 Jan – France removed Brittany from Europe. They have a colony in Brazil, Ceara, which is now their capital.


1 Feb – Tunis has embraced the Printing Press

29 Apr – My Quest for the Seven Cities conquistadors have started a quest for the Gold Cups of Quivira which they have some leads for. Let’s see if it’s fruitful!

1 July – Orinoco Delta – is now a fullprovince.

I send these colonists to Alcantara in Brazil on the far side of Holland’s colonial nation

ADM Tech 15 – My armies can now be given forced march orders

11 Aug – Barshaluna converts! Roussillon too!

1 Sept – I fabricate a claim on Naples for another holding of it

21 Sept – France expanded and took Tuscany’s colonies next to me.

1 Nov –

Flores – Incense, coastline, Indies, Sunni, Andalusian, I state it up, 11 dev, Animist, Papuan, Ii send a missionary here,0.70 made here monthly. I send these colonists to East Timor which is next door from Flores.


We’ll be using Flores as my new base of exploration. I have my explorer fleet here ready

Our Golden Era has now finished!


So sad

1 Dec – Coffee in Cartagena
