Drake has some minor success with piracy against the Spanish off the Canary Islands, then drops a colony off in Rio.

Uggh. I don't see how Drake doesn't just eviscerate the Spanish every single turn.

Lots of fortresses and patrols?  But I'm pretty sure Drake is intended to eviscerate the Spanish every turn...

Regardless of how awesome Drake is, he can't take awards that aren't allowed.  You can only get a VP, a treasure or sink a patrol with piracy hits in the New World.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Dang, was looking at the Europe rewards, I guess.  I'll take a treasure then.

Each power may only pirate 3 times per turn, so Drake can't hit everything.

With his piracy rating, that is going to average something like 4 hits per turn.

Assuming everything he attacks is undefended, sure...

Drakken, if you feel like making a move at work, I have 6 regulars and 4 cavalries and my leader in Belgrade, and you 11 regulars plus your leader in Szigetvár :P

You know, I can also muster a lot of cannon fodder too, Tamas.
