My goals (consistent with the fiction, as you will see):
(1) Recapture the Holy Lands ASAP and keep them out of the hands of the infidel in perpetuity.
(2) Unite the world. This is defined as having all provinces either uninhabited or under the control of Spain, its vassals, and/or its allies.
(3) Develop the world. I must achieve tech levels as quickly as possible across the board, maxing out all of them well before the end of the game (my hope is to do it before 1700).
(4) Develop the world, part II. I must also make every effort to have each and every province mapped and occupied with at least a trading post.
(5) Develop the world, part III. By the end of the game, all of my provinces must be fully developed to maximum fortifications, with tax collectors, judges, and governors. During play, I will build as fast as possible, excepting governors to preserve my inflation-fighting capacity, and fortification of rebellious areas.
(6) Be a beacon of stability and Catholic rectitude. No conversion away from Catholicism; keep stability at +3 at all times; avoid military annexation of fellow Catholics.
What I like to see in an AAR is someone telling me exactly what they're going to do and then sticking to it. I don't think it'll detract from the story, and you are on track (as far as I can tell) to get it all done.
