Good idea, conquering Istanbul, I'll make a note of that.

safferli said:Just read your new aar, Zimfan. Good luck! It's true that it's (nearly) always the same states that colonise in 1.3: Aragon, Castille, Burgundy, the Italian states, Mecklenburg and Portugal/france/England of course. I've also seen the Teutonic Order and Lithuania colonise. Even more states colonise in NA?!? Well, I haven't bought NA yet and don't plan to in the near future. Though I heard a few good things about it, I'm quite happy with my 1.3.

I chose Deus Vult as to be able to declare war on the pagans without losing stability. In my last Portugal game, I only took colonial ventures as 4th or 5th NI (can't remember exactly).Steckie said:Some nice, early colonising, but why didn't you take colonial ventures to get more colonists a year?
Getting a Casus Belli is often a lot easier than getting colonists (or missionaries or spies).

safferli said:Check and -- wtf?!? Look at the log, Burgundy dishonoured our alliance! Why? It's the perfect time to attack France! It's the only damn reason I entered the alliance with Burgundy in the first place! Goddammit, lesson learned. Allies are rubbish,
Well, The AI is keen to jump any country for minimal gains, I thought I presented the best opportunities for Burgundy to take a piece of France. Well, obviously the AI thought otherwise.Morgon1988 said:Wrong lesson! Better check your relations to ally, its stability and its relation to target before declaring war. Information is (and was) key to successful wars, I never got disappointed by a major ally.
