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.

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.

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.
