So, after some quite tense "one hour per month" warfare, I bring you... the time before that!
Actually they're eastern Africans. Mutapa was the only non-heathen I could see for a long time, now there's another tribe or two as well.
Heh, there's still some decades left in the game when those provinces core, so I guess we can use local crews at least for ships built there.
Indeed! Still gotta grab Rome itself though...
Pretty much. That's one of the (surprisingly few) design decisions I can't really agree with, quite a bit of playability is sacrificed for flavor that requires you to be some kind of indigenous peoples / tribal languages expert to truly appreciate it.
Hmm, we'll see. I'll certainly hand over their own provinces when I grab them from the Dutch.
Yup.
Thanks, in the update after the one I'm posting now.
The plan on Portugal is indeed very close to what you're suggesting.
Austria is another very strong victim left. It'll be tough to finish in time, especially since I have to finish America and then Iberia while gradually starting campaigns elsewhere. I'll be very spread out in Europe. Also, I really can't keep fighting the kind of world wars I'm in now or my already questionable update schedules will get truly ugly.
I'm sure I can handle the wars themselves, I think I can handle being over the BB limit (if not I may have to go for force releasing, but I'd prefer not to), I have no idea yet how the warscore requirements play into this.
EDIT: Oh and it's more than a century left, this ends in 1856.
You've grabbed a neat piece of real estate there in Africa. It's pretty good land in the real world, anyway. Will we see any Incan equivalent to the Kru people manning European ships (link). Say, it's been a while, but aren't your only Royal Marriage partners still around on the African west coast?

The conversion of Lazio is going to be hard to top, though. Comedy gold.

Saint Helena is like the only province in MEIOU that starts uncolonized and has its colonial name, isn't it?

Once the Europeans in Africa are dealt with, you should sell your African provinces to Fez for being such cool guys.

And the Inca Marches on!
Yup.
Another great round. When is Portugal up again?
Thanks, in the update after the one I'm posting now.
Portugal looks like it's next. I'm guessing another Colonial CB war to take care of some more Canadian provinces and one in Africa. At some point an Imperial CB war is needed to take Cuba (or one province on Cuba - the rest to be taken by Colonial) and its European provinces, but there's no hurry. Almost a century to go and the only victim of Incan revenge that still looks strong is the Netherlands, which is also in the way of an expedition towards the Pope. Another guess is you want to concentrate armies in Iberia while Portugal is still intact, and move on to the Netherlands when that's done. Do you think you'll have enough time?
