Best case scenario is the pair of them splitting off from the empire and being eternal rivals to play off each other.The Brits are making some noise around this time. Newfoundland announces that we are a new rival to them. Hmmm. And then the 13 Colonies asks for military access. Umm...No! But interesting.
Now...this world map.
Portugal has done exceptionally well in the colonial game. I highly doubt they can keep any of it long term but it'll certainly be world altering for Latin Catholic protguese to be everywhere. They own loads of North America still, and loads of Mexico. And loads of the Caribbean.Portugal has taken Australia.
And Australia and probably soon some of Indonesia or india if they're smart.
Good news for the Creek, I guess. The Portuguese empire is huge and weak. Their land should be pretty undefended.
Castille surprises me. They somehow colonised the entire west coast, and yet have basically no presence anywhere else (including in Castile). That empire is going to collapse soon unless it moves to california...which...would be a problem if it did.Lots to take in, to be sure. Portugal has taken Australia. France and Castile have Brazil even though Castile has very little in Europe (notice British Iberia and the advance of Aragon.)
France meanwhile is pathetically weak. Loads of rich colonies in South amercia and a small bit of Mexico but being kicked around by Brittany of all places doesn't bode well for the kingdom lasting too long in the colonial game.
Nothing otherwise too interesting in Europe land. Poland being big is usual. Russia likewise. GB being in Iberia is interesting, especiakly if they can use that to start a European empire (or even just nick more of America from the Spanish).That’s Denmark in the Baltic and Austria is not yet the BWB. They do look to have half of the Burgundian inheritance, but otherwise not so large. I did not look at the powers that be in the HRE, but I’ll assume it’s still coming out of Austria.
I'm more shocked that no one colonised Greenland. That tends to be the first thing anyone does...
Yeah...GB is currently bodying them everywhere and might even be about to start conquering bits of France back again (depending on what they are doing in Spain). No overseas empire that will be kept for long, no solid foundations in europe, and a strong England, Austria and Brittany in Europe. Not good at all.France (even if they may be a poor alliance partner
...
So, I'm thinking the Creek really need to start worrying about the british. They're out of time now, they are coming for us. And there's not many out there who can help. France, protgual and Castile are present in amercia, but GB has land borders with all of them and looks to be stronger than them in europe and in amercia.
We may need to rapidly expand south to counterbalance the North being so scary.
