We’re in 1530 and there’s not going to be a colonialism institution for a long time. It’s supposed to spawn around 1500.

Essentially I got to PU Portugal and Castile (as Aragon) before they got their first idea, which means neither wanted to take exploration because it wasn’t useful to them.

I always start with inno and offensive (best combo) so I don’t have it either.

I’m in the process of annexing France and England and neither of them took exploration either. Castile did take expansion, but this is worthless unless you actually have provinces to colonise. Weird first choice tbh even for the AI.

Very weird situation, I’ll have to take explo as my third idea group and start colonising. At least it means I get to spawn it. Though I was hoping Portugal would colonise for me and I would just integrate them later, but apparently not.

Still very good Mare Nostrum run, on pace and everything.

    Okay it’s even weirder, after integrating Castile, I saw they had colonies in Africa.

    But apparently I was the first tag to discover America because I got the event for it. I have no idea what the AI has been doing lmao
