Playing Aragon, I managed to become Spain. But I was wondering about some things. If Naverra is annexed by her northern neighbor,can I still gain basque culture? (If so, in what ways?)They were my vassels ,but some event took them away.Also,what shields can Aragon hope for. Another question is Aragon going to have better names for colonies?(Aragon if not a part of Spain gains an early explorer and can make it to The West Indies. ) My first colony in the New world was New Messina instead of something Spanish.Feel free to add questions about Aragon. Answers also,please.
- I don't believe that Spain has the option of gaining Basque culture. Unless you want to "cheat", of course. Historically, I don't think the Basques ever really accepted being under Spanish rule (I think there still might be a little disagreement going on today), so this sounds pretty historical.
- I'm also not sure if Aragon/Spain will gain any cores over the rest of Spain (since I've never played as them). Beyond that, Spain might get a few in the Netherlands if events unfold historically, but I don't think they'll get any others, beyond the sorta-cores from Tordesillas.
- Usually, colony names for ahistorical colonizers or ahistorical colony locations are based off of your current provinces. I.E. you'll see a lot of Fort Brandenburgs or New Warsaws. New Messina is taken from your Sicilian province. I'm guessing that the game still sees you more as Aragon than as Castille (the historical Spain). If you were still Aragon when you founded the colony, then there's your answer.
