Portuguese Scenario

[unmerged(6116)]

Can you people tell me which is the best playable historical scenario with Portugal to download?

Thanks in advance.

Just the standard IGC, I would have thought.

So, after IGC Which scenario do you think is best?
I have Grand Siécle, but it seems like "The age of enlightment".

I'd try the 1520 start. I think the 1617 start would be pretty bizarre given that in real life Portugal was part of the Spanish Empire at that time. And Portugal is pretty weak in the 1701 start, without mcuh to do except try to stop the Dutch/French/English from burning her trade posts.

So you are saying you can start whenever you want?
Chronologicaly speaking you are right the 1510/20 would be the best starting point , but which scenario are you talking about?
The IGC?

There is a 1520 start in the latest IGC. Portugal has quite a solid base in that one already.

With any scenario you have, you can open the .eug file with a word program and change the tag to POR. The others are right though, the later scenarios are not fun for portugal. the 1520 scenario is good, but a lot of your trading posts are in provinces with very aggressive natives, but you already have a foothold in the east Indies, Malay. The 1492 scenario is my favorite, but you have to move fast and make tp's in rich provinces or you won't have the money to make colonies later. Ohh, and ally with spain because they are your biggest threat, a war with them early on will probably lose Algarve and/or Oporto to them.
