Going reformed isn't really necessary but maybe useful in ealry game if you really want that TE increase...

Not at the cost of passing out on beeing CRC, bashing protestant anywhere and converting countless Pagans to the Holy Church :cool:

Isn't 100% the limit? :confused:

Nope, my personal record is 200% even...

But there's someone on these fora who had a TE of 380% (Idontlikereforms IIRC)

Here's the proof:

Trying out that WatK/AGCEEP bundle, with my country.

Enjoying it very much so far, but I'm having a problem with money. You see, AGCEEP gives Portugal a bunch of explorers, wich is good, but they all come with 3 warships included. Now, that causes you to start pilling up ships very very fast. Too fast actualy. I'm now paying (50% maintenence of course) 0.9d a month for army and 5d for navy! :eek:

That's huge for such a small country as Portuga, and I'm having doubts on the best way to raise money, beeing fairly historical. One option would be to use my 3 COTs, Lisboa, Cape Verde and Sao Tome. But apart from Lisboa, the other 2 are almost worthless (Cape verde has a total value of 3) and no-one competes in them. I COULD just spam the african costline with TPs and then get the money in the COTs, but just how worth would that be?

Or should I invest instead on raising the islands all to city status? Cause the Azores, Cape Verde and S. Tome are all 3 tax value at base.. wich is very very litle.

...or maybe some other method I haven't though of in all my years of noobish eu2 playing?


I am playing Portugal at AGCEEP on medium level and after 200 years I get 500 cash on Jan 1st. Because it is just my second game at all, I am sure with the strategy you can get even more when avaoiding some mistakes :rolleyes: . I stay the whole game quite peacefully with an eternal alliance with Spain. All my money I got from colonization. In the beginning also Trade posts along the African coast, because of money restrictions. When basic tax value is 5 or more, I will go for creating a city. I was running quickly to South America to find the sugar empire there. :) I fought only for Malacca, Timbuktu and 2 gold provinces.

Every year I use 6 merchants and 6 colonists, make sure that you have enough supply of these.

What about colonize Spanish ToT provinces and has you are reformed, they can't take them from you? But you can take your ToT provinces from others? That's a good advantage of beeing reformed ;)
