I choose Milan as my new rival.


We take on the King title.

I purchase the final two colonies from Portugal in the area they aren’t allowed to be in. I offer to sell them Arguin, but they aren’t interested.

Barahonas – Hispaniola, 5 development, jungles, coffee

Magua – 4 dev, jungle, Hispaniola, tobacco,

These go to my colonial nation, who has already started a colony on the island to finish it out.

19 Jan – I get a Triangle Trade event and get a ton of cash and DIP development

1 Feb – Salt in Chesapeake

2 Feb – I dispatch another exploration mission into the Indian Ocean

3 June – I renew our marriage vows with Portugal

I claim another Greek holding from Turks

I grab Expansion Ideas

1 Jan, 1514

Mauritius –
15 Dev, Sugar, island, coastal, Tuscan, Catholic, they make 1.09 for us.

Next target is Ile de Bourbon, which is also here

12 Mar – I get an event which puts a free church in Mauritius

By the by, I make around 10 gold monthly (9.84)

18 April – Mauritius is the home of my next expedition

1 May – I get cores in my new holdings and they are now giving me 1.02, 1.39 and 1,41 in cash,


Just before the end of the Age of Exploration, I go ahead and enter my Golden Era!

15 May – Castile is in West Africa colonizing folks there. They have two colonies finished, another on the way and another started on the island of Fernando Po.


1 June – I order a church in Naxos

1 Sept –

Chesapeake – Marsh, 14 development, Salt growers by the local Catholic, Tuscan people, just 0.23 cash as I have not elevated Virginia to state-ness yet. This is the wealthy James Estuary.


Next colonial target is Massachusetts. I saw Denmark exploring the north area hard.

Actually, natives with the Lenape just moved there. How about Cartagena instead? Perfect location on the main land.

Hmmm… I do like the highly developed Androscoggin here in the area instead, to help be a base in the area for exploring and developing. But Cartagena for now.

I actually offer to sell Arguin to Castile but they aren’t interested either



1 November – We have entered the Era of Reformation. So long Discovery!


Major things you are rewarded for include:

Embracing Humanist or Religious Idea Groups
Converting another nation’s faith in war
Converting at least 10 provinces
Unifying culture

Stuff like that.

We have one done already and 8 provinces converted so we aren’t far away from another

11 Nov – Serbia brings in many Venetian provinces like Kosovo and Zetta

I finish a mission that couldn’t be done last Age –

Faith’s Bastion –

I get an Army of Righteousness buff for 15 years that makes my conversions and military morale massively better.
