My Divine Wind christening. I just got DW from a friend for my birthday (three days from now, and he's a Jew, so he thought, it's in the spirit.)
So, I played my favorite nation that's easy enough for a starter, Castille. It's currently 1465.
First, let's do Europe, da?
Spain is a Medeterrainian Empire from Lisbon, to Rome, and has vassals in Serbia, Bulgaria, Epirus and Morea. We're also Protestant (Converted 1461, because I was excommunicated from the end of Enrique III (1390-1414)'s reign to the conversion by my current monarch, Leon III.)
I also vassalized Morrocco, Algeria, Tunisia, and Tripoli and made them Protestant aswell. England and France are too. (England does own some Mamluk land, aswell as land in Italy.)
The Austrians had a superb empire for awhile, but the massive Peasant's Revolt caused the independence of Transylvania, Croatia, Tirol (which has the Hohenzollerns on the throne, kickass), and Styria, and so Austria's out of whack, and collapsed.
Brunswick is also the Emperor of the HRE.
Oh and the Pope is in eastern Germany. You can find it next to the Emperor.

New World
Spain is the single-handed master of it so far. I'm waiting for the English, French and others to find the New World since I'm so ronery. D:
Anyway, my national focus is the province where New Orleans is (named New Madrid), but I still called the Viceroyalty "La Florida" since Timucua was my first continental colony (Puerto Rico was my first new world colony, my first real colony was the Canary Islands, because my ships couldn't penetrate through the high seas and kept getting raped to death, and I wanted the "Isn't this the way to India?" achievement, so I waited until my last monarch (Pedro II) died so Castille could annex Portugal and Aragon with cores.
I'm going to play my Spain game to the end! It's 24 July 1465.
My Emperor is a bit meh. Enrique IV, I hope, will be a more powerful monarch to lead armies.
Spain in Europe. Notice Prussia's massive size and Austria getting completely destroyed.
Spanish New World.
Note: Sorry I'm writing a mini-AAR... I'm just happy I finally have DW.
