Maybe Portugal? I figure I just ally Castile and easy mode it until I figure out what I'm doing.
Edit: I'm going Holland as it's a recommended start country. I think I'll just chill and dev and play tall.
I wonder if the new colonization system will be able to model something like the Dutch, Danish and Portuguese colonial empires. While all nations had (and have) a strong naval tradition, perhaps the economic demands of colonization in EU5 might make colonization on the scale that it actually happened unfeasible.
From what I've seen from the previews, colonization seems to happen at a slower pace than eu4 and tall gameplay is more viable. (I haven't watched all of the video, but there's a demo let's play from Chewbert showcasing Dutch play)
apparently there's a bit of a bug where the papal states do a lot of New World colonization
Yeah I thought that was a good Idea too. Until Castile got a Union CB on me and attacked me xD
Ouch. My condolences
