The World (well most of it), Febuary 1556. Spain have the greatest colonial empire, followed by Portugal, Denmark and France. Heavy colonizing in North America has significantly extended the Danish Empire.

1. What colour are the Dutch and how are they faring against the spaniards, which provinces do they own in Europe ?
They're that yellowish-brown color spreading out like the plague all over the west coast. The dutch control only their homelands (still two spanish provinces in the area) in Europe, and have couple of colonies in India, but I'd say they're doing quite well. They have a 200k+ man army (UGH!), so I'm not planning on getting involved with them anytime soon.

I have one word for the developers.Originally posted by strategy:
At the current time in the game (1604) they are now up to almost 360k+ men (it may be as much as 400k, as I haven't counted properly). The Netherlands AI seems to be doing nothing but producing armies all the time - though now they're at war with poor France.
The ridiculous thing about this is that I would never stand a chance should they declare war on me. Even if I could amass as large an army, I would need at least 2-3 Million men in order to win (Yes - I have also been hit by the your armies will always loose field battles bug or feature, or whatever one wants to call it.
Even 4k rebel scum regularly defeat 25k man armies.
Yes - I'm getting somewhat bitter at the combat algorithms in the game.
