1486-1490 : Mission accomplished - the currency is restored
Since my colonies are about to become cities I found a new colony in Ilheus. My doge has bad administration skills and I choose a province which is easy to settle.
The doge dies and a new one with good adminstration skills is elected at last.
Uteve is converted. Prod tech 9 is discovered. Bavaria has to make peace with Würzburg and is back to square one.
Since at last I have a doge with good administration skills it is time to claim some Caribbean islands as well,
although this is not good for the balance sheet. Dominica is founded.
I don't want to mint so I take a loan. Inflation is 7.8% - my mission goal is 6% . It is getting increasingly hard since I cannot find any other rich native tribe.
Missionaries are a bottleneck too, since I had the brilliant idea to become a little more "innovative". Just a paltry 0.25 missionaries a year are available.
Tohancapan is converted. At last we find a 5 star theologian to help us convert the heathens.
And Saint Kitts gets colonized as well.
In July 1488 - another stability hit and we gain 1 offensive.
And our yellow ally calls us to arms again. Well, war taxes, what should we say.
Sena is converted. In May 1489 the war with Algeria ends. But the Mameluks is the war leader and the war with them continues.
In August 1489 Stability is back to normal. And against our better judgment, we take another loan,
since we desperately want to keep the treasury slider left. In my next AAR I will have to set myself some inflation/loans constraints, I am too addicted to those.
In Nov 1489, naval tech 10 is researched. Since we are technically at war with Oman because of answering Castille's call to arms, we get involved in a naval battle with them in the Indian Ocean.
In February 1490, I can move a domestic policy slider again. I will go "Free Subjects", hoping to get a 2% reduction on inflation.
This way the mission would be accomplished.
And this is our lucky day. We get a better administration. Inflation is reduced by 2%
And the mission is completed. The economy will be booming for four years and as a bonus, the inflation is reduced by an additional 1%.
The next mission is easy for a change - colonize Suriname.
It is so satisfying to see that inflation is now little more than 4%
