11 Aug – I defeat an army on Sicily
19 Aug – We defeat a Bohemian navy at sea
3 Oct – Malta is ours
18 Nov – I defeat a Bohemian army that tried to hit us on Italy.
1 Dec – Exploration Idea #3 – We get +20 global settler growth
8 Dec – The Siege of Messina is ours and we captured it
12 Jan, 1568 – We rout the army in Sicily
10 Feb – I have captured all of Sicily and every holding of Aragon that’s not under Swiss or France is ours
Our warscore is now 96%
What could I now get?
The three Balearic Isles are 20% warscore
The 6 remaining holdings Iberia are 45
Sicily and Malta? 61.
I hold up because I really do want to emphasize the Iberian front. The big war on the Iberian and French flank is concluded and I would expect the war-wager, Utrecht, will take peace there soon.
1 May – Curacao is captured and burned down.
2 May – Cagliari is now Catholic
28 May – Tulaytullah is now Andalusian
I am buildings up a 20k army to get me to my land forcelimit in order to prepare for taking these lands and to get defense ready. I suspect a big war will follow soon as Europe’s Christian powers won’t like it
2 July – I pull my colonists from Bahamas and send them to Grain Coast next to Ivory Coast. I am moving my African army over to help out with it.
I order a Trade Station for the Gold Coast.
27 Au – I kill the natives in the Grain Coast
1 Jan, 1569 –
Bahamas – 5 dev, Sunni, Andalusian, Coffee, handed to the Isles
I pull my colonists from Cuba and send them to Mauritius
Peace with Aragon. They took Aragon losing it’s cores on France, giving up cash, and then giving up War Reparations
16 Jan – I don’t have to capture Burgos, their capital, and the minors that were theirs. If I want, I can instead take the stuff as I have a claim on it.
We still have a 99 warscore
Got it
I can’t get all provinces in Iberia. SO I take two full states, the valuable ones, and then the Balearic Isles as well.
That’s a warscore of 99 precisely
That would be everything but the three provinces in Asturius.
All of:
Balearic Isles -
Minorca
Mallorca
Ibiza
Vasconia –
Burgos
Navarre
Rioja
Vizcaya
Catalonia –
Barcelona
Rousillon
Girona
Tarragona
Urgell
And that’s would work.
That’s not bad, right? That’s 12 Aragonese holdings we’d latch onto
I spend around 200 ADM coring my 12 additions.
And then we can really push hard by adding Napoli and Salerno, and then Roma, Urbano, et all.
Ready?
Let’s do it
Napoli and Abruzzi, not Salerno
Abruzzi is in the same state as my non-Roma additions
About another 100 ADM for those two alone
Mar 8 – Peace with the Papal States – I take everything but Romagna – Urbino, Roma, Umbria, and Ancona!
We get 260 in cash and I vassalize them
I take on the rank of Empire! Before I do, I spend some prestige to make nice with our vassal, as we max our prestige afterwards.
All Iberian cultures are now accepted
