This is played on the regular grand campaign Bothsetting normal. Missions on.

As the lord Dominus comes to power behind the throne in 1492 England is a weak nation compared to its ally Spain and others like Poland Lithiania and France. Hoping to eliviate a potential threat Henry VII and the nobles push for a war with Scotland, it doesnot take long for hostilities to commence and in March of 1492 war is begun. In August 1492 the annexation of Scotland is successful.

The nobles wishes for an immediate delaration of war on the enraged France but are silenced. Instead a period of ecconomic improvements begin. During 1499 we establish our first colony in Nova Scotia. Unfortuantely the pope, that same month of July, declares the Treaty of Tordesillas.

As the English lands are beginning to take on a look of prosperity, France declares war on us. Calling upon our ally Spain for help during the war, we are stunned to learn that they are willing to break their alliance with our nation. The Nobles do not wish to waste troops on the protection of Calais and the majority of battles are fought on English soil. By February 1505 France surrenders though with no gain. The British forces have crushed the French and Portugese armies. After the war, hoping to be able to go to war with Spain to teach them the folly of breaking an alliance with our great nation, we accepted navarra's attempt to ally with us. Unfortunately that war never comes.

After several helpful ivestments by the nobles we learn what we need to promote legal counsels to chief judges in April 514. England's economy is growing rapidly and we are slowly increasing colonies in North America.

Watching in pure joy in the year of our lord 1515 France fights alone against Spain and their allies. We do not engage in war. Though the nobles continue to try to convinve the king that war is necessary versus France. King Henry VIII though is too busy putting down revolts from the change of religion in 1517. Eventually the nobles realize that we are not yet ready for war with a nation like France. With constant improvements in the infrastructure, by the year 1521 all of our European provinces have chief judges and revolts have become a thing of the past. This gives us the chance we need to take advantage of the continuing war between France and Spain. As we are preparing to finally take advantage of the war though, hostilities come to an end. Spain and The Palatinat each take three provinces from France, but we quickly realize that even with France's weakened state of affairs our single military staging ground of Calais is too tenous a string to declare war now.

By 1525 we are at peace with those around us, though the number of nations that hate us are growing faster and faster. Our colonies in North America, while not many in number have made friends with the natives of the area and are unmatched in strength in the region. England's future is bright.
