Hello guys,
I just started a new Portugal rune, after I saw this post in Reddit.
[x] Till 1500 - Conquer Iberia & Some Morocco Territory
[-] Till 1600 - Get Trade-Company Region & rich American Regions for yourself
[-] Till 1700 - Trade Dominance
[-] Till 1800 - TBD
[-] Till 1820 - World Dominance???
Idea Process So Far:
I started with Exploration. I mean, I could also go Quantity as my first idea. It would be most likely easier wars with Castile. However, it would be also hard for the second goal of my conquest. I thought it would be late for me to get all the good land.
Meanwhile I got 7th Admin Tech and unlocked the second idea group as Expansion. Here I know spending admin power on an idea slows you with your Iberia expansion process, but I used vassals and annexing. So spending admin powers was kinda okay.
Then I started fighting with Morocco (till he get Ottomans as his side) and others, who try to colonize next to me. It was everyone from England (my preset alliance) to my first alliance France, who helped me eat Castile and I betrayed them over England & Austria. Now England have stopped France land dominance over Europe, but he got also stronger himself.
I thought after this, it was the best time to expend and finish the iberia conquest. Therefore, I took my first military idea as Quantity. I mean I am watching Reman's Youtube Channel a lot. And he was basically suggesting Quantity over Defensive as one of your early-mid game military ideas. I usually pick Defensive over Quantity. This time, I wanted to try Quantity for once. Also I doubted, that the morale buff from Defensive is reliable enough for this kinda fight. I mean my army is kinda garbage against France, Austria and even England at this point. So I thought maybe I got shit army,... but a big army.
Now the date is 1585, I have to pick my 4th idea. I have no clue so I am asking for some suggestions.
I was actually afraid, that some1 will grab Caraibas, but turns out they are scared. So They don't.
I got also -89 aggressive expensition. How long will it take to come at normal levels?
I mean let's say someone has -100 aggressive expansion over it's neighbors.
How long will it take to be 0 again? Where can I find this knowledge, so that I can better play for ahead as choosing my next idea.
Lastly I am best at Naval Power atm, ships are also strong enough. I am also okay in Army. I mean my numbers are high enough for England / Aragon / Austria / Bohemia. As quality; their armies are kinda better, but I got the numbers.
However against Ottomans, I ll definitely lose. They got both power and numbers on their side.
Thanks For the Help...
PS: I am Turkish, and I find referring Ottomans as some food name is okay.
