The realm rejoices as Paradox Interactive announces the launch of Crusader Kings III, the latest entry in the publisher’s grand strategy role-playing game franchise. Advisors may now jockey for positions of influence and adversaries should save their schemes for another day, because on this day Crusader Kings III can be purchased on Steam, the Paradox Store, and other major online retailers.
Pretty epic that.Brazil is cuddly, why should I attack him?

All history is soap opera, just with more fancy names. And regarding grammar, do what we Irish do and make it up as you go along.If this rather resumed tale sounds like a soap opera, now try to imagine to cram this in History lessonsBut you can imagine that there were still a lot of axes to grind in 1836 ( just 11 years after the formal recognition of the Brazilian independence ) ... the issue is that, as it happens in game , Portugal in OTL was not even close of being ready to try to take Brazil in again in 1836.
P.S On the grammar thing, Portugal and Brazil do not follow the same grammar since 1911 ( long story short, the then new Portuguese republic decided to weave a new grammar without consulting Brazil and Brazil decided to retaliate in kind). There is a formal agreement signed some years ago between all the Portuguese speaking countries, but in Brazil is seen as twisting their way to the Portuguese one and in Portugal is seen as twisting our way to the Brazilian one, so I really don't expect it to stick :/
You're welcome. I totally understand the point about plausibility, and in a way I'm pleased you're not going the route I'd normally go, because it's a lot more fun for me to see how somebody else plays the game@TristramShandy : Thank you, your input is highly appreciated. I am certainly happy to get to know more about the game and so are probably the people reading this thread.
I have been thinking about attacking Ethiopia and Sokoto, but somehow I don't consider this to be "plausible" enough, while Aceh, Johore and Brunei fit better IMHO. After all we have Goa, Macau, Deli - and Malacca used to be Portuguese, so I think expanding in the region is something a smart Portugal would do anyway. But if no other european power takes them, I will have to do it, since "civilization" has to be brought to them.
Be nice to Portugal - or we'll bring "civilization" to your country !
Troops speed colonization, but Portugal has access to a couple of regions at the beginning who have high life rating and nobody else can colonizeThey're some nice colonies you're developing - I'm looking forward to seeing if the Pink Map will be fulfilled.
Incidentally, how are you able to colonise so quickly? Can colonisation be achieved by having troops in a colonisable province?
Yes, in fact, I will soon run out of infamy and I will have to spread Portuguese civilization further...It's our burden.Nice update! I see that Sweden is catching up and getting pretty close to your great power spot - a war of humiliation with an uncivilised nation might be in order? I notice you've got a nice chunk of infamy free to bring civilisation to some people in need, heh heh heh
Thank you. I'd like to pass more reforms, but usually I just follow the crowd in politics.Ah, Portugal is once again a great power... excellent.
Word on reforms: outlawing slavery might reduce the liberal support for a while. It tends to be a big issue, so you might not be able to pass that many reforms in a while.
Good so far.
If I can, I will, but in terms of infamy, it might be a little expensive. I don't think I have a casus belli for that.Remember that the Dutch East Indies was once the Portuguese East indies. If you can manage it with place in the sun, take it back!![]()
