Bugger ... I was all set to marry the strawberry-blonde English lass in her cute pink dress. Ever since I had installed her father as the new Governor of Vera Cruz, she'd been unable to resist my roguish charm.

Our courtship was progressing nicely. I had just trounced the upper-class twit (with a mighty fast rapier!) who thought he was going to marry her. She & I really had something going....

And then the friggin' Dutch captured the town! Now there's a new lass in the governor's mansion, and she doesn't know the Duke of DiGriz from a common sailor! I'll have to start all over again with the woo-ing....

(And buy another bloody Diamond Necklace!)

On the bright side, both she and her identical twin in Campeche are still happy to dance with me and give me pieces of maps to the Lost Cities. I don't know how they got these map pieces in the first place ... but I don't really care as long as they're willing to share.

Hmmm ... I don't really care for the Dutch lasses anyway. Maybe I should marry the fiery Spanish girl in Cartagena instead? Now, there is a lovely young lady in need of some companionship....

Yep, that's what happened. I modded her.
Didn't know what I was doing, apparently. Lost

She's back now in all of her glorious red headedness. She's in St. Kitts at the moment and I'm working on making her my wife. Excited

We'll see how that goes.
Thanks for pointing her out.

I think the strawberry blond English girl is the most beautiful! But what really turns me on to all of the girls in general is how they gasp when you accept their invitation to the ball and kiss their hand. And then there's the giggles when you perform a flourish, just so cute even if the daughter is rather plain.
Oops or blush

I choose England.
Why?
I don't speak French, Spanish or Dutch, but I speak English which is one reason I feel a better unity with them. I don't think there's ever been a war between Sweden and England (I belive the Saxons who invaded Britain were from Norway). And almost always when I play Europa Universalis I play as Sweden and try to be good friends with England while I fight the Danes, the Russians and some other gewgaws. I also got more British friends than any of the other nations, of which I have none.
So as a Swedish Viking in pirate disguise it's natural for me to choose the English side.

Holy Spain- Hottest daughters and very good for a Sotl user that stays in one place

I usually start with Spain. Unfortunately that means I often start the game way over in Campeche or Vera Cruz. I can get quick Spanish promotions because there's usually plenty of pirates, war canoes, missions and settlements with ships to escort, which means quicker promotion (the new governors seem to remember you did them a favor). The added bonus is that sometimes you get to escort a mail runner or royal sloop, and if you can beat it with your pinnace, you have a fine pirating vessel. I take ships from all the other nations, and when the bounty gets high, I concentrate on one area and attack everything without a yellow flag. That can mean a SOTL, treasure ships (When the middle Caribbean is rich enough, the English and French Treasure Ships milling around that area are usually way better than the Spanish ones, especially the disappointing Treasure Fleet) and lots of gold to keep my whining whingers who call themselves a crew happy enough. . When I've had enough of that, I turn treasonous and ally with a different natilon, usually the French. (Must be those daughters again) I end my career reformatting the political geography to my liking. Usually this mean bad news for the Dutch, as Curacao becomes my home port while sacking those Spanish towns. I also swap out for friendly governors at Cartagena, Barbados, and St. Eustasius, as I have found that land attacks on those cities are damned near impossible.

I seem to be rambling, so I will ramble on out of here.
