User blog comment:Red VS Blue/Aragon in Fidei Defensor/@comment-811633-20100828014132

Aw, thank you, John, the era of FD is my favourite era in history, this just comes natural to me ;). Well, though Modern-Era pragmatists such us might think it'd be better for Castille to lose Aragon, back then the Castillians were so power-hungry and land-greedy any loss of land at all for them would be see as a total-loss and morale-crusher. But you are right, they'll go for absorbing Portugal now.

I'd love to help you.

Oh, I was pondering the Holy League and their crushing (or at least taking Greece from them) of the Ottomans, and it'd be worse for Greece to be taken over by the Holy League Powers than the Turks-the Holy League suppressed the Orthodox-Christian Church and imposed heavy taxes, the Turks had an understandable level of taxes (or at least their taxes weren't ludicrous like Venice's) and religious freedom. Thus if we want a free Greece (and I know I do), we can either make the Holy League more tolerant of Orthodoxy and impose less taxes, or have some other power to liberate Greece: Russia is too weak to do this in the late 1500s-mid 1600s I think, unfortunately. Are there any other powers you can think of that might liberate Greece?
