Oh, hey! France and England are colonizing a bit more. How loyal will this new Newfoundland colony be as the centuries pass?

I'm fine with renaming the Americas... do you think anyone's tried to map them yet? I don't think the game mentions such things...

Both the PLC and the Ottomans are massive. I can't wait for their showdown!
Names: Atlantis?, Westeros? My Latin is not good enough to make a good choice, but something with west or Atlantic would be great.
Atlantis it is then. The United States of Atlantis (USA) and Atlanteans sounds amazing and Atlantic Ocean fits it.

Regarding the white peace with Haasa, the Ottomans just peaced out without taking a single province. I like to believe that they had to pay a lot of money for the Ottomans to do that.

I agree that it's interesting both Poland and Ottomans are concentrating their conquests to the east.

The Ottomans sure have quite a war going in Iraq/Persia. Course that'll make them stronger if they turn back against Europe. Gosh they scare me! :D No matter whose game it is!

I know this is concentrated on the Great Powers as they exist at the time. But I bet there's an interesting story going on with the religious conversions in Germany. Any info on how all that's going on? Warfare yet?

I believe that is Eyalet-i Misr, which is (I think) some sort of Ottoman vassal, forced to separate from Mamluk rule on the middle of page 4.

Little change in world. Otto/PLC moving eastwards. Ming has rebels. Castile has been joined by England in the Atlantis curb-stomp. France/Portugal/Aragon have servants waving palm fronds palm to keep them cool. Do they have agents in the East placing eastward-pointing signs in Polish/Turkish that say 'Barcelona/Lisbon/Paris this way'? Thanks

Given how the Ottomans and the PLC are expanding eastwards, will they end up fighting over Siberia? That would be... rare.

Aragon is expanding in North Africa. Are they aiming for a Mediterranean empire?

The Incas look like they put up a good fight and won a few battles against Castile, but the forces of colonialism (Castile, Portugal, and England) march on... I wonder if any native state will survive.

Spoiler Alert: This is the last time you will see Ming among the Great 8 in Timeline 88. Yue and Wu took advantage of Ming being defeated by the Southeast Asians to declare their independence (both in 1544) and will soon be followed by other Chinese states.
