Hello,
this AAR is based on some alternative strategies with Siena. I like the various Italian states but I always thought that there isn't a lot of space for expansion on the peninsula even though it certainly gets easier after the Italian states leave the HRE. At the same time, the Italian states are not in a prime position to colonise because they lack the necessary range at the beginning and most of the trade ends up in Sevilla anyway.
So there is the option to attack one of the Iberian countries and to take the Canary Islands for example. But... why not just go through North Africa? My aim is to colonise through the Sahara, take the literal gold mine(s) that is Western Africa and dominating the important trade nodes, especially the Ivory Coast. Once that is done, why not spiral out of control and colonise parts of South America as well as all the way to Asia? After all, there is more gold to be had!
Yes (in order to start with the actual story), the wealthy elite of Siena is truly ambitious. And crazy. But most importantly ambitious.
