1 Mar, 1571 – Curacao – 7 dev, Cotton, natural harbor, 75% (no states left, and it’s in a state with only other Portuguese folks so no expansion opportunities) 0.08 made here.


12 Mar – Another conversion




Thought you might enjoy a cash break down.

1 Dec – Escambrey – Cuba, Cotton, 7 dev, 0.54 made, and I expanded deeper on Cuba.

25 Dec – Another conversion!!

5 May,



We have two major things happen. The first is that an event happens that gives us Colima from our vassal. The second is that we can increase my states to 5 with this government reform. I enact it.


As I do:

I make two states – one Curacao and the other one o the new ones I took. I can pull Curacao later, but for now I get a lot of benefit.

That leaves me three states in the queue for expansion in Cuba and elsewhere.

6 Nov – Another conversion

6 Mar, 1573 0 Another conversion!


8 May – Big news:





Much as a Romans, we’ve changed governments from Republic to Empire!


I spend 211 of my precious ADM power to up my stability. I was almost enough for my next idea.


Our king is a scholar. I enter into Royal Marriages with my vassals but none gave me a queen. Or an Empress.

1 Oct – Fish in Cuba

2 Nov – I pull colonists from one of the Cuban holdings to set up the internal holding next to Carategna and such and a part of that state – Chimila, and then send it back to Cuba to a different holding there.


1 June, 1574 – Religious rebellion in Xico…

22 June – Put down!

1 Aug – The folks in Xico convert!

8 Oct – Colima now a core and I send in some Missionaries

1 May, 1575 – Moron – Coba, Tobacco, 6 dev, Savanna, etc. 0.44. I send them to the last place in Cuba – Guantanamo.


1 June – New Dip Tech. Ready? I get galleass ship sand Trade Stations

This is the manufactory for these goods:

Furs
Slaves
Ivory
Spices
Incense


I have spices in one place. I order it

You’ll have noticed that slowly here and there, where possible, I’ve been moving my culture to High Mayan where it helps out.

Aug 1 – Mil Tech 10 – Better troops! New cavalry, infantry, and artillery!


World news?

France is in Canada, barely. No one else is in North America.

England continues to expand in South America. Portugal in in the Rio region making a big Brazillian power.

Future Colonization plans:

I am almost done with Cuba, and I am running into England here again and again.

Call it. Expand inward and stop Britain going around me externally, and then move in three directions:

1. Down the South American coast towards the Incas and other nations there.
2. Up Mexico to Texas
3. Inland in South America. Then?

I could head west to California, the Pacific, and more.

Or I could jump to a major port in North America and began to expand there, such as the Virginia or Chesapeake regions.

Let’s do that.

Chapter 14 - The Andean War

21 March, 1580 = I pull from Cuba for a holding that takes me south – Cauca, coastal, south of Choco.

I see Aragon as a potential future ally so I have been working to up our relations – my rivals are France and GB, and Portugal has rivaled us. Aragon is enemies with or rivals against all of those.


10 July – I have enough ADM power for an ID, but I’m not that far from the next tech.

22 Oct – I send colonists up from us to the coastal territory there – Coahulteco on Galveston Bay.

1 Dec – Bayomo -Fish, jungle, Cuba, coastal, 5 dev, 0.06 made here


5 March, 1581 – We have a new heir!

11 Apr – GB and France are now at war

My next military target is Tairona, on whom I’ve just claimed a holding:



Here let me show you. See the purple blob? My target is the heavily developed Mariquita, whom I just claimed. I have two armies on the border, my main one to hit the north then a capital, and a backup one for helping out, hitting armies, and more. My hope I that I can take out the whole nation in one war. But if not? That’s fine. They are ally less, save for Carib, the one province next to them

12 Aug – We have finished off Mariquita. Their armies fled before me,


1 Sept – Chesapeake – Tobacco, James estuary, 10 dev, coastal, I order these folks to next door’s Powhatan to the north.


1 Nov – Baracoa – Cuba, Dyes, jungle, coastal, 5 dev, 0.18 made

4 Mar, 1582 – We capture their capital

1 Apr – ADM TECH 13 – We get better production efficiency

9 June

We’ve captured everything…



I can take out Tairona and vassalize Carib. I do so.


Get ready. All have temples and workshops. All are Muisican people unless otherwise stated


Mariquita
– You saw it. Tons of dev, Farm Estate, etc. I get 1.06 from it monthly already!


Moniquirra – Hills, 13 dev, 0.20 cash, salt trade, Inti faith,


Tunja – Former capital – Mountains, salt here, 11 dev, level 2 fort, 0.16 made here,


Bogota – Mountains, gems, center of trade, Inti, 0.27 made here, 16 dev

Pore – Savannah, next to Carib, tropical wood, animated people and Lakono culture, 4 dev, 0.03 made here.


Alright, now here’s the thing…

Chapter 15 - Success Against the Lion



Notice how I brought my other army down here? Notice how my allies are down here already too? Also my new ally is sitting on 3k troops too.


It’s time to try and smash the Britain giant now that they are at war!


I declare war on Britain’s colony for Sinu



1 Sept – Cauca with gems

1 Oct – Coa… with tobacco


22 Nov – I capture and seize the colony of Trinidad, it’s now ours

We have captured a few minors and France the rest.

4 Mar, 1583 – We finally manage to corner their army.

1 Apr – We embrace the printing press!!!

8 Apr – We barely beat it

1 July – DIP TECH 15 – I get better ships.

I take what I can and leave the rest for others:



We get five holdings – Sinu, Cumana, Anzoategui, Wayuu and Altagracia. We also stole the colony of Trinidad and Tabogo, which is still growing.


They aren’t that valuable, but they were around us and in our way:


Sinu – The holding that advanced us is now OURS. Maya has grown full circle. Highlander, Cath, jungle, tropical wood, 5 dev, 0.08.


Cumana – Naval Supplies, Cath, English, grasslands, coastal, 4 dev 0.02 made here.

Anzoat – Eng, Cath, Sugar, 0.04, 5 dev, grasslands, coastal

Wayuu – Mountains, coastal, Eng, Cath, livestock is here, 10 dev, 0.04 made

Altagracia – Tropical wood, grasslands, Scottish, Cath, 8 dev, 0.04 made,

Now I want to grab the rest of the coast here and fill in the boxes.

Good news and bad news. We are the ones with the dissemination of the coffee plant which drops it’s value, but we get thousands of ducats. I order some more plantations.


1 Feb, 1599 – Unami – Tobacco, I order a plantation here, 5 dev, 0.11 made here.

We have gained the trading in Tobacco boost.

I have two new targets of expansion – Karankawa, north on Galveston Bay which I’ll set up and leave, and Chitimacha, the delta of the Mississippi, which another small tribe just moved out of. I want to lock it in as it’s one of the best remaining holdings and an obvious spot of expansion.
Rebels in Essequibo

22 Mar – Put down!

2 June – I pull colonists and send them to Massachusetts, another major holding here

1 Mar, 1623 – Grain in Cusabo

7 May – The tribe next to us has moved. I pull colonists from Guale and send to Mocamba!

1 April – Apalachee – Cotton, 0.05, marsh, coastal, 4 dev


1 June – Chatot – 3 dev, savannah, coastal, in the West Florida state, I order a farm estate here, grain, 0.17 made here

Let’s pause for a moment and look at where I want to go colonially next.

Save four a few Florida holdings, I have everything obvious.

Let’s me show you SA



Here you are. As you can see, Britain is to our east. And they connect to Portugal that has almost all of colonial east coast/ they are also in Peru.



What I am thinking about doing is closing it. I could go inland where I am and hold the edge. Here are the northern America. As you can see, we are up to Maine. Above us is France and England. I could go inland and try to cut them off. I can also head up the western half and head to California.


For a real weird time I could slid to the Indies where no one is at yet.


My thoughts are to do these:

1. Grab Suriname and Rio Branco in the east part of the area and stop British expansion.
2. Grab Putumayos on the west flank in the Andes and cut off expansion there.
3. Finish Florida
4. Head inland in Maine and cut off people, prioritize this.
5. Head up the coast to California – make this my area where I am building slowly
6. Eventually finish South Carolina with two inland holdings there to complete that state


I pull colonists from Mocamba and send them to Maine in Passamaquoddy

1 July – Pensacola – Fur 4 dev, coastal, part of West Florida, savannah, I order a trade station here, 0.22 made here.


1 Sept- Patano and Micabo with Salt and Fur (Florida)

1 Nov – I pull colonists and send them to Penobscott in Maine

Cotton in Yustaga

21 Nov = Conversion!

I send colonists to Rio Bravo, and then I’ll head back after.

I had enough tech for techs for a few years, but I wanted to wait so I’d get a reduced tech cost


We get:

MIL TECH 17 – better cavalry shock

DIP TECH 19 – Better boats and colonial range

ADM TECH 16 (which only cost 349 power after the removal) – I can build Mills!

Mills are the Manufactory for things that are produced:

Paper
Chinaware
Glass
Gems
Tropical Wood

I set up Mills in 3 gems, four woods

And then…

ADM TECH 17 – I get _5 states, and can build universities!

And we are halfway to 18 which is another group of ideas!!

16 Oct – Nimpuc is now a core

I state-itize Massachusetts

I upgrade Mexico to a World Trade center

22 May, 1630 – We announce the annexation of Tonala

1 Nov – Kennebec – Hills, inland, Maine, fu, 4 dev, 0.34 made here and a trade station ordered.

I send these colonists to Espachomy in the Hudson River..

Volume 12c, Maya Restored, the New Meso-American Hegemon
Chapter Prelude - Musings on Silence

19 Nov – Conversion in Potomac

I pull my colonists in Yaqui and send them next door to Seri.

1 Dec – Humanist Idea #5 - +2 promoted cultures

I promote Tepic and Muisca

22 Apr, 1645 – Missisquoi converts!

1 May – Atrakwaye, 3 dev, hills, 0.04 made here, tobacco

1 June – Fur in Ohio.

I pull colonists from Seri and send them next door to Tohono. This connects me up to Ohone.

22 July – I pull colonists in Kumeyaay

I send them to East Timor in the Indies.

3 Nov – Conversion

1 Jan, 1646 – Yaqui – 3 dev, fish, drylands, coastal, 0.02 made here

7 April – Another conversion!


I pass the Edict of Colonization (which I can do with both expansion and exploration ideas) and it’ll give me +20 growth and -50% native uprising. but it’ll cost me two Dip a month. In order to pay, I increase my dip advisor to 5.



Here’s my court. Normally the highest you can get an advisor is 3 naturally. However, if they are of your faith and culture, you can raise their ability with the circular star function. It costs cash – this cost me 1k. And then my upkeep is going to be very high. It costs me 78.13 for all three advisors. But it restores my 13/8/8 balance.

After that change, I am still bringing in that cash:



It’s basically winds up that the policy cost is being paid by cash. You can also see the current 10K in cash I’m sitting on, as well as my other things up there

Oh, and once I set up in East Timor, I can swap my advisor for something else, I won’t need a Navigator’s +20% range.


1 July – Gems in Suriname

1 Sept – Humanist Idea (needs 395) +6 – We get +30 influence relations

1 Oct – Fish in Kumeyaay

22 Dec – Conversion!

I pull colonists in Tohono and send to Miwak, north of Ohone. We’ll head up the coast.

19 June



I am about to declare war on the Shawnee. I have two armies next door, and this will help me leap over them and head up to Michigan. As you can see I have two armies of 18k troops at the gates. This is another key in moving down the great lakes to head off Europe from coming down.

Chapter 2 - Restoring Solitude


4 April – 1649- Wanna see my most up to date N America map after a lot of exploring has happened?



Here you go! As you can see, Britain has expanded in a small way, but France hasn’t done much here.

My next colonial goals:

1. Have one colonist doing up the west coast – Right now – Miwak.
2. Have one colonist in the Indies – East Timor now, West Timor next
3. Have one colonist in the Mid-West. Wyandot now.
4. Have colonies without colonists in Mid_west in places as well as taking Baja California, much as I did Florida.
5. Have 4th colonist in other places as needed. Right now he’s in Suriname


Actually, I can pull him from Suriname and send him to Honiasont (Pittsburgh) and claim Westsylvania as a state. It has more than a 20% chance of being copper or iron


18 May – Conversion


1 Jan, 1650 – The new modern thing is going to be Manufactories

19 Jan – Cores finished in Erie and Chillicothe, I order missionaries next

11 Mar – Wabash a core!

I state-ify Ohio

1 May – Fur in Wyandot

I order colonists to Paipai the first Baja CA holding.

1 Aug - Suriname – Gems, 4 dev, jungle, 0.08 cash, inland

I send the Paipia colonists next to Nakipa

The Baja have good chances of Salt and Gold.

22 Nov – We have a tobacco rising event!

1 Dec – Honiasont with Iron!

Chapter 4 - Gold Dreams


1 Jan, 1654 – Livestock in Pomo as well

1 Feb – Tea in West Timor

1 Jan, 1655 – In Cochima, Gold!!!

1 Mar – DIP TECH 21 – I can build Chebecks (Galley style ship not good for open seas but great on Black Sea, Med Sea, etc)

1 Apr – Shatteras – 4 dev, woods, grain, 0.02 made here


1 May – Guaycura in Baja with Livestock

1 June – In Juanita we have Copper

1 July – Fur in Potawatomi

I send colonists to Flores from West Timor

1 Sept – ADM TECH #21 – We can make Furnaces, for coal later

15 Feb, 1656 – War in Port/Eng is over.




Here are the Indies. Note that the Mamelukes have expanded here colonially. We have Castile in the Andamans over by Khmer, Portugal in a few islands. They know of the area and are here. They just haven’t entered the Indies proper, but we have. We have come in from the east side and jumped the Pacific Ocean. We haven’t; touched anywhere else, like New Zealand, Australia, etc


We have an Aragonese colony in Africa, and the Dutch have arrived in South America. Lots of competition.

These are active colonizers:

Aragon
Netherlands
England
France
Castille
Mamelukes
Portugal
Maya

I am changing my goals.

I pull my colonists in Juanita and send it to Ambom, over in the Spices Islands proper over in the Banda Sea. It takes more than 400 days to arrive. I’ll set up and then set up another and slow grow here. This will be my new Florida or Baja CA.


My goal is to set up a few colonies here and expand in the Spice islands more quickly. They are more valuable than another 3 or 4 dev fish or Livestock holding on the west coast.

Chapter 5 - Death into Life



1 Feb, 1657 – Naval Supplies in Miami



Know what? I have pushed all of my advisors up to level 5, just to see what would happen. I’m losing 3 gold a month with my massive advisor maintenance and this is with ten colonies right now as well, as we finish off Baja California, that should drop. Right now we have two about ready to finish. I thought about dropping my naval or army maintenance to stay at positive cashflow, but with 9382, I can do this for years and remain above 9000 cash, although eventually I’d wanna change it. This raises my advisers level to 14/8/10 though.


9 April – At the age of 68 our ruler has died!

I spend 193 ADM TO boost my stability back up wiping me out for a bit.

27 April – Royal Marriage with Quito gives us a queen



As you can see, my new ruler is a very, very weak 2/1/2, dropping me to 11/6/9 with my level 5 advisers. You can see my heir, his younger brother, there who’s much better. The heir has gained infertile, which is not good. However, he is expansionistic.

I’ll show you:



This is my stability and expansion tab. This is where you’d see my rebels or issues if we have any (we don’t). You can see my colonial range and colonial growth there. I am getting 180 colonists per year in a colony that doesn’t get any boosts. That means one colony will finish in 5.5 years, without any additional help. With a colonist there, there is a chance each month to get some free boosts, and we get the occasional event due to me taking the ideas expansion and exploration to boost a colony with a few hundred people every couple of years or so. (I just got one for Miami a few months ago)

Now, let’s compare that:

UK that has invested heavily? 120
Dutch? 65
France? 105

We have made this our thing, and the Emperor agrees.
