EB - Countdown to Open Beta: Baktria

[Dux Corvanus]

Those silly Iberians... tried to dominate the Burgundian Kreis... or, well, the modern Netherlands.

I see the Duke of Alba's shadow is a long shadow...

That was not an easy domain to manage for a small country like Spain that had colonies scatered in the americas too.

Well, scattered is not the word. Apart from the Low Countries, half Italy and the Philippines, Spain dominated all America from North California, Texas and Florida to Patagonia, except that big sick jungle full of head hunters and mosquitos... how is it?

Besides, around that era, and for a century, we also tried to dominate -without much success- a small country that had colonies scattered in Africa and SE Asia, opening European commerce to Japan and China...

Besides, remember the Spanish tercios? They did make the Dutch's fight for independence a very hard task.

And among the bravest in the Tercios, no few Portuguese fought against the heretic scum.
Iberia rules!
