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.
