Disapointed and confused with EEP.

[Chopain]

I downloaded the EEP to have a more historical feel to the game. I am playing France and wanted to see how it changes my experience in the game.

Spain went with not investing in finding India by going to the west. Later Spain expled Columbus from Spain. Are these two events the historical choices? I think my chances of learning some more history just fell apart.

So I guess as France I will discover the new world instead.

Absolutely historical. Spain gets 3 tries, unless of course Portugal didn't grab him first.

Thank you. Just getting a little nervous.

Ok it's 1498 and England has discovered America and Spain has not yet ventured off to the west. Is that normal for the EEP?

England will likely discover America by 1500 with John Cabot. However, he dies rather quickly, so he shouldn't discover more than a couple of provinces. After that, England shouldn't be exploring any more (unless they receive random explorers) until the mid-1500s. I would be interested if you see otherwise.

Any chance of giving Norway the historic correct explorer John Skolp pre 1500?

Hey this is my ranting post. Anyway Spains back on track exploring It just took around 1500 or so.

That might lead to too many Norwegian colonies.

.....and besides, the lands he visited are already known by Norway in 1.05... Still...for realism, he should be in, in some form or another..oh well! Doubt Norway with its horrific economy would be able to produce any colonies though.

I´d like to put him in myself.
Could you give me some info on him?
i.e approximate dates, suggestions on stats?
