Im doing Spain 1732 at present and using New Spain as an ? exploit. I need to only take Curacao to complete that mission but have slated that for 1799.


VH/n world domination.

New Spain gets

- every tech as soon as I get it
-I built a school in texas with the plan that the ai in New Spain should be able to research(relatively) quicker than me as difficulty was set on vh. yet to confirm this, but new Spain has upgraded school to Classical Uni.

-New Spain has numerous trade fleets and seems to have no $ issues upgrading everything as I give the techs, completing the mission would mean getting those nodes immediately they were vacated.

- I also give occasional conquered countries (like Tunis) which are hard to control and get little money. I also assume the VH gives the ai repression bonuses.

- some would say that I should complete the mission because of the rich provinces of New Spain, but possibly as the ai on VH get $ bonuses then 50% of this bonus may be more than I would net otherwise( though I suspect not)

_ New Spain has also taken California and threatens the french in Lousianna and the Dutch in Florida(I swapped Flanders and Florida for Dutch Guyana at turn 1).

-possibly giving away a few useless countries will lessen the diplomatic empire penalty.
