England makes sense though, if you can neuter France and slap Spain down you can have almost absolute control of the Americas and become a revenue generating machine.
Quite easy once you get through Qara Quyounlu (or Iraqi rebels) to the Persian Gulf. I'm doing a bit of it now and I'm out to Diego Garcia before 1500, and from there it's a short hop to Ottoman Australia.
Does colonization cost points other than the idea group and the cash you need to keep the colonists going though?
Having a great game as Savoy. Northern Italy is a real cash cow. Venice Trade Node, here I come.
1st, you need the renaissance in enough provinces
2nd, you need the required amount of cash
3rd, you need the required amount of monarch points
Since the Ottomans are in Europe, the Renaissance will come to you sooner than it will come to me (1549 as Hindustan, still haven't embraced the Renaissance.)

You don't need monarch points to embrace the renaissance.
You can gain institution points in provinces by developing them though. This is the best way to get institutions to appear in other parts of the world. If you develop a province, especially in India and East Asia, it will appear in your region much more quickly than natural spread from Europe.
It is the year 1543, the Age of the Reformation. The ever first colonies of Spain, Brittany and France have just been established in the New World.... where they find the freshly independent United States of America, which already controls most of the East Coast and has permanent claims on their new colonies.
My campaign to make America as soon as possible by rushing exploration and colony spamming as England has worked, with a little bit of deliberate sabotage and save switching to make sure the independence war was short and painless.
Maybe I will try and become HRE or something.
Other than min-maxing colonists I'm not really sure what idea groups to get though.

Things I've learned while playing as the ERE in MEIOU & Taxes:
Never invade Moldavia. They will fuck your shit right up a red wood!

I am thinking of playing a "random" game. No ironman.
Basically, I will turn on random lucky nations, turn on random new world and the country I will play as will be decided by the "Random Nation" button, and I will play that country for 50 years before switching to another nation also decided by the random nation button. Will anyone be interested?
