I suppose it was a question of choice.

The problem is that I (like many others - at least portuguese) don't understand what was the criteria:
- Madeira is bigger than many other islands that appear in EU (nor only in size but also in prodution)
- Madeira is much more important then many other islands that appear in EU.

It had an extreme importance in the discoveris of the new world. Not only it was an important port, not only Colombo lived there but he even port there when returning from the new world before arriving Spain reppairing his own ship (probably if Madeira didn't exist he couldn't have reurned to Spain after discovering the new world!).

Well, I know the injustice will never be corrected in EU2

I love this game, anyway...

I guess because I have heard of every other island in the game but have never heard of the one you mention.
So I guess you guys need a better PR firm.

Not quite that simple!
There is a thread in the editing forum about it but success has stalled.

Madeira would probably be near (adjacent) to Canaries Islands... no more sea zone required.
When making my way to the new world I always ask military access to Spain to port in Canary Islands before discovering Cabo Verde.
I know others prefer to go directly to the Caribean by Azores...

I have a beautiful bronzed, framed world map circa 1630. With your description I just located the island in question. If as you say it would be in the same sea zone as the Canary Islands, why not just consider that the Canary Islands represted them as well.

SIGH!

It was not me that first suggested that!

If you never heard of the Portuguese, their history well just forget it!

Okay, forgotten!
