Mascate was a mountain desert province with a medium fort-practically impossible to take without massive superiority, massive casualties and a fleet. Timbuktu might have fallen, in time, which is why I was building a large fortress there.
Anyway, Otherwise I just would have gone on playing Portugal, colonising, researching tech, building a massive navy, and getting more money than anyone else while watching the Badboys suffer low stab and revolts!
And of course, I wanted to aid Spain as much as possible, as Portugal really can't do much without a friendly Spain. France's territorial gains in the last war were very worrying. I fully expected to spend the next 20 years feeding Austria cash before watchign another sub destroy themselves again, and having Turenne grinning at me from Lisboa.
As I said, an extremely unlikely plan to succeed. But we can at least dream that one day Portugal might actually gain a European province in war instead of just colonising and trying to pull strings from the edges. We can but dream.
My other plan was grabbing lots of China, by waiting around until it all revolted to me. this plan was succeeding, with Guangzhou already in my grasp.
