As long as the game is divided into four main forces: Portugal, Spain, Britain and the Netherlands.
The beginning of the age of navigation
Due to the desire for resources and wealth and the exploration of the new continent, European countries have developed their own marine undertakings. Human geographical knowledge and navigation technology have made great progress on the basis of predecessors. At this time, the maritime forces of Britain, Spain, Portugal, Ottoman, Venice and Holland came to the forefront of European countries for various reasons. Power profile:
After breaking away from Spanish rule, Portugal became the first country on the European continent to achieve national unity and centralization. Because its monarch actively developed navigation, Portugal, a small European country, took the lead in becoming a deep-water bomb in the navigation era. Due to the pressure from Spain, Portugal established a friendly alliance with Britain.
On behalf of:
Prince Henry Enrique: a pioneer of Portuguese navigation and European navigation. He believed that fanatical Christians took it as their duty to fight against Muslims all their lives, established navigation schools and trained a large number of excellent sailors for Portugal. Although Henry has never taken part in any adventure or voyage in his life, as the navigator of this ship, he has made great contributions to the navigation of Portugal and even the world.
Da Gama: The Pioneer of Portuguese Navigator. After experiencing all kinds of difficulties, the arrogant and irritable captain took his sailors to India for the first time, and plundered a lot of gems and spices from here and brought them back to Portugal. Since then, his reputation has been greatly shaken. I have been exploring and sailing all my life. Power profile:
After the war with the Moors, Spain finally completely recovered its lost territory. Then, Spain joined Portugal in expanding its navigation. And in 1492, the fleet led by Columbus discovered the new American continent for the first time and brought back a lot of gold, which aroused the Spanish' desire for navigation.

Queen Isabella: A scheming woman has always wanted her brother Puyol to be the governor of the Spanish navy, but Puyol doesn't have the lofty ideal as her sister, as long as she can live well under her influence. So Isabella has been trying her best to win over all parties and consolidate her power.
Magellan: After nine months' long sea voyage, although Magellan, the captain of the fleet, was killed halfway because of being involved in a local dispute, the rest of the sailors returned to Spain after nine months' arduous sea voyage, completing the first round-the-world voyage of mankind. Power profile:
After ending the war with France for more than 100 years, due to the island isolated from the mainland and the lack of natural resources, due to the needs of handicraft production and the desire for wealth, Britain quickly developed its own navigation career after Spain and Portugal, and became one of the best.
On behalf of:
Queen Victoria: Under the great pressure of domestic governors, the young queen has been working hard to develop Britain's economic strength, and strongly supported the cause of navigation, and admitted her pirates, secretly supporting them to plunder foreign merchant ships.
Duke of Norfolk: A typical militant, because he is an important minister of the Queen's father's generation and has a place in Britain, the Queen will give him three points. There was a war with other countries, especially Spain. Always putting pressure on the queen not to live in peace with her. Power profile:

He devoted his life to developing the Dutch merchant fleet to every corner of the world. Because of the opening of the new air route, the Netherlands has achieved unprecedented development and made great progress in military and commerce, so that the Dutch were later called "sea coachmen."
