[Viking]

If anybody is wondering how the hell I converted the ports in the north the card tells me to take 7 attempts in france then 7 attempts in the netherlands. The french round converted Calais which is a port on the north sea.

Witchcraft to steal a card from Viking. Max is up.

Villegaignon sails to Brazil and founds a colony.

Why didn't you have to pay 1 CP for that colony?

English and Scots shoot into the air a lot.

Paris, Rouen, and Caen return to the true faith.

Is it ok if I just roll dice to select the treasures to give?

Sort of.  However, you can't give a duplicate award (2 treasures) until you've exhausted all possible options:

a. Eliminate a patrol in the ocean zone
b. If Spain is the target, allow the active power to draw at random one of the Spanish treasures. If Spain rolled at least one
die for the presence of a fortress connected to this ocean zone, the Spanish player chooses one treasure to withhold from the pool available to this random draw.
c. If Portugal is the target, allow the active power to draw at random one of the Portuguese treasures.
d. Award the active player 1 VP for Piracy.

With no patrol and Spain targeted, your only options are b. (random Spanish treasure) and d. (1 VP).  So you have to award one treasure at random and then 1 VP.

Hawkins has the opportunity to return home with his loot. Otherwise I believe Sol is up.

[Solmyr]

Tamas is up actually.
