Chapter 1: The Big Dream

D.João I, the king

1st of January 1419, Lisbon-A small boat leaves the harbor of Lisbon, that boat carries 100 people, farmers, normal citizens, traders,members of the church and nobles. They are all going to the recently discovered islands of Azores in search of a better life.
Meanwhile in the hot North Africa, more precisly in Tangiers, the army of "Reconquistadores" is attacking Tangiers, that army is commanded by the legendary Portuguese Hero Nun'Álvares Pereira, most known as Pereira.
So, this is Portugal, a small nation with big dreams.

The coat of arms

The kingdom

zacharym87 · 08-01-2005, 20:15

an intriguing beginning. Portugal certainly has lots of potential.

AmbassadeBelgie · 08-01-2005, 21:10

Yeah, it's a great country to play, especially for a quick colonisation plan

Luis de Aveiro · 08-01-2005, 22:05

HI.

Why do'nt you a portuguese version on our forum ?

HKFlash · 08-01-2005, 22:46

Good luck Rolo Master!

A question: whats that province below Gascogne? In France, that one in green, who conquered it?

Rolo Master · 09-01-2005, 00:43

Chapter 2:The new Reconquista

April 3rd 1423, Tangiers, the peace treaty between Portugal and Marrocco is signed. It says:"D.João I, king of Portugal and Yahyâ al-Wattâsî, king of Marrocco sing peace to this endless war, The provinces of Tangiers, Tubokal, Sahara and Anti-Atlas are given to Portugal, in the condition that the rest of Marrocco is not destroyed,
Tangiers castel, 4pm April 3rd 1423 after the birth of christ" Now Portugal has the conditions to launch the exploration of African coast!
"Explorer needed" says a paper in the streets of Lisbon, but Henry the navigator has some capitans the might be useful in the future.....

The Dominion of Marrocco

zacharym87 · 09-01-2005, 04:09

Well, Morocco has certainly been stomped, and the green country under Gascogny is Foix (one of the new countries introduced with the AGCEEP mod).

Rolo Master · 09-01-2005, 12:18

Chapter 3: Where no one has been before......

1st of September 1433-D.João I died. The king will alaways be remembered as the king of Good Memory, because he didn't forget the people and the Bourgeoisie that supported him in 1383-85 crisis and he didn't forget too those who didn't...
Now D.Duarte is the king. Portuguese explorers Gonçalo Velho and Gil Eanes are making voyages to west African coast

Meanwhile, the 2 first great Portuguese explores made great discoveries. Gonçalo Velho has discoverd a small island in Atlantic, Bermuda and Gil Eanes passed the cape Bojador and reached coast of Cameroon.

Gil Eanes in Coast of Cameroon

Bermuda discoverd by Gonçalo Velho

D.Duarte's short reign ends, now his son Afonso V is the king

Afonso V

Rolo Master · 12-01-2005, 17:49

Part 2:In route to prosperity....

In this decade important discoveries were made: Mainland America(Carolina) and Cape of Good Hope! D.Afonso was very happy with these progresses

Mainland America being discovered

Cape of Good Hope!

Now India is closer!

Rolo Master · 13-01-2005, 22:10

Chapter 5:The Great Sahara war

March 10th 1474, Lisbon
The cheif of the association of Portuguese merchants, Sebastião de Miranda talks to the king:
Sebastião-Noble king, as you know south of Azouad lie the unknown and powerful kingdoms of Shongai and Mali. If we conquer the great city of Timbuktu from Shongai we would certenaly have in our hands the most powerful center of trade of Western Africa...and we could also convert the city.
King-That's a great idea!
Sebastião-Thank you noble king
King-OK, so I will command the troops myself. I'm going to Tangiers...

The army

6 years later The Great Sahara War has ended..Portugal was victorious. I completly annexed Shongai ( now the problems are the revolts

The expanded North African Dominion now named "The vice-kingdom of West Africa

Grundius · 19-01-2005, 10:26
