Now this is just useless warmongering. However, the progress is good nonetheless. Keep it up, just relax a bit!

You really hammered Spain there. Whats your BB like? I foresee disagreements between France and Genoa over what Iberia now.
Yea, iv played into the next update and they may get hammered a little more. My BB if i remember right was around 15-20 after the war, and I let it cool a little before i tell about the next update.
The thing is, Im in an alliance with France and Poland (they prolly wont declare any wars), My only other European Neighbor is Austria who i have good relations with. (Bavaria is now annexed by Austria, and only German Minor left is one province Brandenburg. The only real European countries are me, France, Austria, Poland, Netherlands, Russia and a Norway that is dominating Scandinavia.

That's a healthy, secure, diplomatic situation then. Leaves you a completely free hand.

Yes, the only possible Threat to me is the Ottomans, but i really dont even find it as a threat as once i kick the troops out of Thrace, by putting some of my Navy in between it and Turkey Im incredibly safe.
sorry everyone i was away for a while for Christmas, and iv been very busy with school. I will try to get an update out ASAP though. (maybe a weekish)
Part 19
All was well after the war, and Genoa focused on increasing merchants and colonies. Rebellions in Africa broke this time of prosperity and forced the Genoese army to move south, to retake a few cities and kill some of the pagans who had gotten on the loose.
Up through 1630, Scipio Adorno Ivrea explored the coasts of islands of the “Mattina Sole”. Australia and much of the Indonesian Islands were explored, before he voyaged around the world, from Flores to Saint Helena, taking only a few rest stops on the way. He would be the first person ever to do this feat.
Meanwhile, another war was declared on the now week Spain, and about 20000 men began to seize colonies in New Spain, as Castilla was besieged. Castilla was captured, and Poland took care of Anatalya and Bujak. We now just had to take about 5ish colonies before Spain’s fate in the new world would be in our hands…
Again sorry about lack of updates lately, I have been incredibly busy.

Really nicely produced screenshot AAR. You have an opportunistic and determined aspect to your gameplay which is very appealing too.
Spain are barely even worthy of the name now. It must be time to vassalise them and later diplo annex.
This AAR is not over, far from it, but I plan on starting a narrative AAR soon (an ideas just been bugging me), and hopefully i will be able to update more as i can write alot more for a little bit of playtime.
THIS AAR WILL CONTINUE!!!. whenever i have time i will try to update this one as well.

Part 20
Giovvani Brignoli awoke and looked up. “Where am I” he said.
“My doge, you have been knocked out and asleep for a long, long time, but your back up and running!”
“Oh good, where were we.”
“We were just in a war with Spain, and many of their colonies are occupied.”
“OK good.”
10,000 troops were moved to Cartegna to besiege and take some of the last of the South American Mainland colonies of Spain, while the Genoese fleet battled through multiple Portuguese ships to reach Andalusia to transport a large army to begin to attack the heavily fortified islands.
An army was moved to Algarve, while Estramadura which had been plagued by Spaniards for a long time was finally liberated and the Spanish chased out. However, the Knights began to become a major annoyance as Messina was almost lost to them and 14000 Genoese men lost a battle against their 8000.
The initial invasion of cuba began with a successful landing in Guantanomo,
However, the invasion of Moron was a failure, at first at least. The Knights now occupy Messina and we are currently besieging it to take it back, and plans for a major invasion of Rhodes is under way.
18,000 reinforcements were shipped from Andalusia to the Caribbean, as the army there was in constant retreat and needed help. A successful assault of Cartegna meant that the only South American colonies left were very far south and estimated to be relatively undefended.
Finally, the Spanish in Cuba were defeated, and that island was now ours.
The last major area of Spanish resistance, Guadeloupe, was holding up well, and two failed Amphibious attacks were not at all helping the Genoese. We have the war won, the only question is whether we will be able to pursue it to the end or not.

And this, gentlemen, is why I hate the Spanish flag from this era. A red cross takes on a red 'X'. Looks like an 80s wargame. 
As DoW said, good job with the colonial war! I think Guadeloupe and Rhodes could be difficult though - assaulting islands with troops defending is never fun.

Duke of Wellington: Yea, they are quite annoying, especially without a good base over there. I know it's pushing it but i really just want Spain out of the way.
Catknight: Yes the Spanish flag annoys me too, and after sending a boat to look at the condition of Rhodes it is going to prove quite hard, but the Knights are becoming a pest.

I've just finished reading the whole thread, and this Genoese story is simply amazing. I never thought playing with Italian nations could be fun. Great job at your empire-building. I'm definitely waiting for the next update!
Raden Shaka: Thankyou, its quite a compliment that you would read the whole thing. I find Italian nations to be some of my favorite.
