I wonder why there is no way for France to win the War of Spanish Succession and have Philipe/Felipe inherit both crowns. I know it kind of unites two major power but isn't it a bit too deterministic too have France loose the war whatever they do? I defeated Austria quite soundly, taking Lorraine and Alsace, and still I got the Peace of Utrecht event stating that I lost the war.

Would the community be adverse to an event that would detect how the war went for France? I would say that if enemies of France (Austria, Netherlands and England) don't own any of the cores claimed by Louis XIV (the ones that are given up if not owned after Peace of Utrecht), or they don't have any of the minors on those cores as vassals, and Spain has not lost any provinces to Habsburg Spain, then France has won the war and may keep Spain as vassals or maybe even inherit them. It would be a complex set of triggers, but it is not impossible and I think it would be well worth the effort.

After the discovery of America and the new routes opened by Portuguese sailors to India and China, the once very dynamical and mercantile Mediterranean lose progressively lost its role as the economical heart of Europe. The interest and the money shifted to endeavors across the Atlantic and to the Atlantic countries. This was a hard blow to the Crown of Aragon and its Mediterranean-based economy.

Garbon said:
There's a war of spanish succession thread somewhere. We never completely agreed/figured out on the various endings to the war.
And here it is.

@Lord Grave: list of interesting threads is here.
 
As can be seen from the events reservation thread, I've been working on a revised version of the revolts that Spain faced in the 1640s (Italian, Catalan, and Portuguese). As part of this, I realized that Spain currently has no way to hold onto Portugal. Should we make it possible for the Hapsburgs to take the throne of Portugal again? If so, how far out should the ahistorical monarchs go? Should Portugal try to break free again during the War of Spanish Succession or...?
 
Why not. Spain could have a chance to keep Portugal if unified. But all events for Portugal will have to be checked and, IMHO, War of Spanish Succession doesn't change things much. Instead of the crown of Spain only, two crowns are in balance but revoltrisk in Portugal could be increased for a while if it happens.
 
It would be plausible for the subjugated Portuguese nobles to try to use the turmoil in Spain to proclaim one of them as a King of Portugal. It would also be plausible for Carlos to leave the crown of Portugal to one of the Portuguese nobles to avoid the chance of creating a triple kingdom ruled by Bourbons.
 
If Spain holds on to Portugal, the War of Spanish Succession will be affected, as Portugal will probably side with the Austrian Habsburgs who, unlike the Bourbons, have no colonial ambitions. That would require the Habsburg Spain events to be rewritten, which they need at some point anyways, as they are currently a mess (mainly, HSA has no way to win the war on its own; everything is tied into how well HAB does, and it tends to refuse to declare war, or sit around for a bit and peace out for cash when it actually does)
 
wasn't the battle of Rocroi between FRA- SPA , the beginning of the POR troubles and rebellions for Spain, especially since Francisco do Melo , the spanish general was blamed,?. The blame was that he was an inferior Portuguese general with half an army of unpaid portuguese soldiers leading a battle under the banner of Spain.

would not a trigger involving any wars between SPA and FRA from 1640 to 1650 result in a massive POR rebellion.

That's be a definite no, seeing as how Portugal had already declared it's independence at the close of 1640. Portugal revolted largely for the reasons that Catalonia revolted, it's nobles were not happy about how the Crown/Olivares was circumventing their traditional laws/privileges to raise money and troops, in the name of protecting the Empire.

Certainly. The reason I mention the WoSS is that in the historic timeline, independent Portugal switched sides in the conflict...and also because it is often hard to keep whole inheritances in tact (especially if France were to win the conflict).

A Question:

Why are several of Portugal's early explorers dormant, with no events existing to wake them up? Why have them in the leader file without even opting to use them?

As the buglist says : future use

In the case of Gonçalo Velho Cabral, he probably isn't awakened because Portugal starts off with knowledge of the Azores. This may or may not be different with the new map.

	#-#The war of Granada started as a frontier war with a Muslim attack on Zahara in December 1481, that was responded by the Marquis of Cadiz in February 1482 with the conquest of Alhama, deep inside Muslim terrritory. The Kings gave orders of holding Alhama at all cost, as the first step in the conquest of the Nasrid emirate. Alhama held thanks to the help of the Duke of Medina-Sidonia, personal enemy of the Marquis of Cadiz, a clear demonstration that the war was going to unite the Kingdoms. At the beginning of the war, the Christians were not prepared for the offensive, and suffered several setbacks, but Granada was in a civil war, divided in two factions fighting each other and against the Christians, and after the battle of Lucena, the leader of one faction, Boabdil, was captured. Fernando decided to realease him on terms to keep the Muslims divided. Fernando reorganized the army, introducing artillery in great amounts, as a new weapon to conquer the Muslim strongholds in days instead of months. Through an extraordinary effort during the campaigns of 1484-86 the first phase of the war was concluded with the conquest of the Western part of the emirate of Granada, capturing Boabdil a second time. The pact made with him for his release included his renounciation to the parts of the emirate in the hands of his rival and uncle, Emir Muhammad XIII al-Zagal, and the surrender of Granada once it became under his control in exchange for a title and land states. The second phase of the war of Granada was then directed against the parts controlled by al-Zagal, the coast and the Eastern part of the emirate. After the fall of Baza and Almeria in 1489, Al-Zagal, defeated, abdicated, and Boabdil became in control of Granada. According to the treaty the war was over. But Boabdil refused to comply, forcing a third phase, the siege of Granada, that was stablished in 1491. The artillery was not used to preserve the city, and Granada will finally surrender in January 1492. 780 years of Muslim presence in the peninsula had come to an end.
