How to start playing navalism?

[Kaiser Kirk]

well then I'll hold on on responding to your diplomatic note until I know what the actual Iberian history *is*.

Secretly saying I will not have the power to seriously bother Portugal in near five years. And then there is England, which, too, can stand up for decaying colonial power )

and declared the creating of Iberia Union in summer 1901

Well, from what you had written, I was under the impression Portugal and Spain had unified into Iberia in the summer of 1901.  If that's not the case, then what is?

I can't see an in-game reason the Italians would mind their cousin the King of Portugal ruling a larger area.  That should be the basis of good relations.

As for the out of game reasons - yes, I had outlined plans to the mods when Portugal and Spain were NPCs, and had we got to the historical events of 1908, those plans may have happened.
But those are all null and void now there is a player. At this point pretty much all of my pre-start plans have been blown up by rule changes, some by player actions and now new players.

Olekit received ownership of Spain, not Portugal - hence there is no unified Iberia.

I supose that he start Spain since 1890, like us.
That mean 13 years with 4BP => 52 000t of ships (?)

No, my starting point is 1904 h1

And for this time I have 40000 t fleet with a lot of tonnage bareers as result of Spain-America war in 1898

All that said, if you want to elaborate on the harbor ornaments of Santiago, feel free. Do note I did presume the historical (or nearest simable) Pluton was still used.

We now have got a new Servera. He will not jump out on the shore with all of his fleet  ;)

Its been assumed that the Spanish American War in the Caribbean happened roughly as historical. I would be extremely hesitant to changing that.
