1 Mar, 1572 – I claim Labourd from France

1 May – I reach out to my clergy to establish new world missions again for 10 years.

1 Aug – The big war across all of Europe has concluded. Utrecht won. They are getting some badboy coalition against them as well.

8 Aug – I name Russia my rival

1 Oct – Tropical wood in Karoo. Ah well that was a missed opportunity.

1 Nov – Expansion 4 – This is identical tot eh idea we already had with Andalusian fort pumping.

I order a Farm Estate in Roussillon

1 Mar, 15573 – Coffee in Curacao

30 April – Rioja and Vizkaya convert. Next? Qila and Abruzzi

1 Jan, 1574 – Expansion #5 – We get +1 diplomatic relation.

18 Jan – We are the home of a major economic event so we get a ton of cash – the proliferation of the coffee plant has reduced it’s price- Coffee drops by 40%

I order Plantations for the Sugar in Ile be Bourbon and Madeira with my cash

Here’s my current cash breakdown for you:


We get:

70.11 tax
71.06 production
68.43 trade
2.41 gold mines
3.17 tariffs
0.79 vassals

We are spending:

40.83 three level 3 advisers giving us 3 power monthly in each of ADM, DIP, and MIL power

10.86 state maintenance – this represents the infrastructure of running these states.

61.95 – Army at 100% maintenance

11.21 – Navy at 100% maintenance

30.50 – Fort maintenance with every fort at 100%

10.00 – 4 colonies

5.89 – 3 missionaries

So we are currently making 40.51 monthly, for a total of around 480 annually. It costs 475 to make a manufactory, so I can, roughly, get one Manufactory a year. A bastion is 380.

After those expenditures, I have 984 cash in my treasury


1 Apr – Tirwal is now Andalusian

1 May – I claim Rio de la Plata from France in southern S. America and Genoa from Aragon

1 Sept – I pull my colonists from Karoo and send them next door to Cape Verde


16 Oct – all natives in Cape Verde are slain

1 Nov – I pull colonists from Curacao and dispatch them to St Helena in the Atlantic. As soon as I set up, I’ll send them to the Indies. I just want to set this up to grow, as it’s uninhabited and poor but a potential and easy port for others.

I have Tuscany in mind African near Kongo, France in Sao Tome and south of Morocco, and such. So taking this off the map helps in a very minor way.

7 Dec – Farm Estate for Rioja
