Congratulations -MoRiDin-, I have selected your AAR as Weekly AAR Showcase you have done a fantastic job, edging out some mightily impressive AARs... enjoy and keep up the great work!
maybe you want to establish a coastal CoT or two to get extra colonists?
good job on beating the spanish out
maybe you want to close the gap between the west coast and the continental possessions , as they seem to try their chance farther and farther

Closing the gap to your west coast possessions is for me a greater priority than colonising in the andes. A west coast coastal CoT, a coastal CoT in mesoamerica, one in say Pennsacola and one up in say Boethuk would boast the numbers of colonists. If you could convert to catholicism or reformed, you'd add another colonist a year.
You're determined to punish Spain and Denmark.
{could someone explain when/how acceptance is gained or lost? I've no idea why this has happened? also no idea why i accept Spanish and Portuguese but not Irish?}
EU3 Wiki said:If a culture becomes a significant minority within a country, they can gain the status as accepted culture. The criteria for "significant minority" is that it represents 20% or more of the base tax value in all your core provinces (not just the ones you own) and that you own at least one core of that culture. As of v.1.3, a culture loses it's accepted status if it drops below 5%.
You have too few cored Huron/Irish provinces and too much cored Spanish/Portuguese provinces.
The irish grew again? at least the naval battles keep the game interesting !
if they took colonies from the british , they may defect to you , i'd advise taking those on gulf first
the tax assessors will allow to mint a lot more/bring inflation down pretty quickly!
I'm surprised you did not took the cabinet NI ...

Firstly neither power is a threat anymore! The decision is which makes my life easiest!Portugal is stronger than Ireland I guess? Then take Portugal, first priority should be the biggest threat unless there was something special to be gained from others. And I would split Portugals posessions in even smaller pieces, the enclave in north america is perfect for you, provinces you can conquer with no effort whatsoever, save them for last.
And why do you keep the spanish war going if there is nothing more to be gained? It only prevents them from starting a war against you so you can take their provinces cheaper..
If you max out your BB again, you prevent your gaining boundary disputes and the opportunity to take land from GB or anybody else who DoWs you.Taking all the money you can benefits your economy for all the province improvements you can make.

I have no choice but to max out bb. There are too many provinces left to take in 100 years. But i take your point. I'll get 4 prov staying under 60% bb but i'd need to stay under 30% for a good chance at boundry disputes!
It's very easy to conquer 4 provinces in the middle of your territory that don't have any regiments.
But there is no need to max out BB now. It will not give you more provinces in the end since you still have to wait for the BB to cool down. If you get more boundary disputes you will take more provinces though since you can take them for free. So lower BB will give you more provinces in the long run.
