Portugal, an empire with a colonial dream but not much money. My only goal this AAR will be to take on this dream and make their empire how it should have been.

To do this, I tampered a little bit with the files to make more colonists longer. This will help the AAR stick to its purpose.

As you start off with Barolomew Diaz, so I sent him off to find land west, maybe even India. Then I tried to Strike up an alliance with Spain, but they didn't want to so instead I joined the Merchants Alliance (Hansa, Pommerania, Holstein and Venice.)
I also tried to make Fernando Po a colony but it failed, but second time round it succeeded.

By August, the loyal and faithful Barolomew found land. It was not like anything anyone had ever seen before. It was pointed facing east at just over a 90 degree angle. Barolomew would be back though many times past this unusual geographical feature exploring the lands hooked up to this land mass.

In the year of 1493, we decided that we needed a stronger alliance so we sent dipomats to all but Holstein (vassal of Denmark) as well as England and Spain 4 RM proposals which (Thank God) all succeeded. Land Tech reached the level 3 so we can build Artillery.:)

On the colonial front, Cape Verde got converted to Catholicism as they gained enough people to be called a colonial city and Barolomew is exploring that strange land in the west, expecially going down the south coast.

In March 94, Venice called it's allies into a war against Ragusa, all of which agreed to DoW the poor defenseless country.;)

Yoghurt: I guess not aye.

After 4 years of exploring the coast of this land, Bartholomew decided to navigate a province 4 his majesty's use. He chose to land in Curitiba, which as soon as the top wigs heard about it they founded a TP in the exact location of where Bartholomew landed.

In 96, We sighted a ship with a flag like no other. It was that of a Black, White and Red. It was something like Maori Aotearoa written on it. Nobody was able to catch it and see what it was and where it was from.

In October, Curitiba became our first colony in this new world that was collectively named "Brazil." In the next year, a guy named Camoens came forth to explore new lands for king and country. While on the trade front, we sent 2 merchants each to Novgorod, Venice and Flandres.

In April, was the planned arrival date of more settlers to the colony of Curitiba. But they never turned up. A report said that they got caught in a storm in the Atlanic somewhere and all drowned. :(

Then in July, Vasco de Gama got promoted to Explorer for Portugal and we promptly sent him to Africa to explore a way to India. In October, the conquistador Camoens arrived in Curitiba to begin exploring Brazil. By October 1498, He had made his way to Recife, with TP's in Itaima's and Araxa and Colonies in Diamentia and Pernambuc on the way up the coast. Salvador was also tried, but it failed. To much forests, those poor bast***s starved to death.
