il be testing as usual.

If only I had more time to specify how it was more powerful...

I'll leave you at this - from the 1800s roughly, the European powers realised that Spain was way too powerful. So, when Bolivar and that other mate started going for independence, they jumped on the chance - Britain blockaded South America from Spain. Same thing with Portugal, though Portugal was weaker and I don't think they even tried to blockade Brazil, as Portual knew that it's navy would be absolutely smashed by French or British navies, and so they allowed a bloodless Brazilian independence.

Juq, Spain was not powerful anymore in the 1790's despite having a true potential, all their wealth they accumulated was wasted to build Churches with golden altars (Spanish churches are very beautiful indeed if you visit Spain), and to their clerical "caste" (more than any country, Spain was stuck in a religious fondamentalism since the 1550-1600s), whereas their people were starving.

This could become one of the best world maps you know.

i would love to test this map

Lisbon territory is part of Coimbra bonus instead of Lisbon bonus.

Жұқтыру, you've got this the wrong way round. It was only after the failed British Invasion of Rio de la Plata in 1806 that made the Latin Americans realize they didn't need Spain. Because of the naval blockade, they were already effectively governing themselves and when the success of defending against the British was the last straw, and two years later, the United States of Rio de la Plata was born, which would become Brazil.

The worries over power were focused on France by this point, as the instability of the revolution was highly troubling for the great monarchies of Europe, such as Spain, Britain and Austria, which is why they were so intent on restoring the Bourbons to the French Throne. Concerns over Spanish power were minimal when compared with those over the French counterpart.

The naval blockade was also irrelevant to the Brazilian Independence movement. It began in 1822 and finished in 1825, several years after the naval blockade and Napoleonic Wars ended. Additionally, considering the naval blockade was British, it didn't harass Portuguese ships, because Portugal and England had been allies since the 1300s.

Gotta love Warlight for history debates lol

I would like to help test out

England had very little power on the European continent up until 1815.

Ha, nope.

Could you possibly change Connecticut to Massachusetts or Boston? I've noticed that's a recurring thing in most maps....

I'd like an option with these sorts of maps to set neutrals = bonus, it would balance the map some.

Wait, how do you mean? I don't get you

I've had a name change. I used to be The Good Adolf Hitler

Any development on this map?

This map has been discontinued.

can i test this map wih the account of gtys2
