Hey guys, new to the forum!
So I started a run as England planning to win the PU war over France and then go colonial. I managed it allying Aragon and Austria, then took exploration for colonial stuff. All according to plan when suddenly Aragons leader dies and the new heir has a weak claim. So I took the opportunity and now its 1475 and I got a pu over France, Aragon and Napels, with ireland and Tyrone (controlling all of Ireland) as vassals. I'm not sure if I should continue to go heavely towards colonialism and get Expansion next, or if it's better to just go Admin into Influence and prepare to spend a hundred years integrating everyone. I'm leaning towards the second option, and just work on vassalizing Portugal to enventually get into colonizing by integrating them when they have some colonial nations.
Other than that I'm wondering if after I integrate Aragon and Naples I should switch main trading node to start controlling the genoa trade note (and focus on expanding on Italy), or just keep the English Channel (and focus on expanding on the low contries).
Finally I've read that culture change can be powerfull but I've never gotten into it. If I integrate France would I be able to switch to French culture, and would that be worth it?
