If you have the Mandate of Heaven DLC, then try Ming. Playing as Ming with Mandate of Heaven is like wrestling three year olds and you are a wrestling champion
If not, try the Ottomans.

1444 Ottomans. You're big enough that it shouldn't be too difficult while also having enough stuff to do to ensure you learn how to play all the different aspects of the game.
1444 France works for this as well.
Not going to happen and just talking about it might net you a warning depending on how mods here interpret it.

Why would that even be necessary?So..guys, anyone's willing to lend their Paradox account so i could download some mods?
Just make your own, it's free.

There's a sale right now. You can buy it for ten dollars. (for the next 42 minutes)
Why pirate something this cheap?
I started a game as the Ottomans. So far, I took Constantinople (though the Byzantines are still surviving in Greece), then made war against a smaller Middle Eastern neighbour and took a third of their territory. The year is 1452, and my next move will be to fulfill my mission of conquering southern Greece. My truce with Athens and the rump Byzantine Empire ends in two years, and I will strike then.
Overall, I'll probably try to simply expand into Europe as much as I can and maybe try conquering Levant as well.

Don't worry I understood your very obvious point and I am sure most also did.
Castile gives a good insight into personal unions and colonisation, but not necessarily war. Ottomans gives you good practise for war, conquer, and domination but not so much colonisation or personal unions.
Why bother? You have so many other juicer places to gobble up. Persia, North Africa, the Balkans, Ethiopia, the Caucauses, India and East Africa are all ripe for the taking. The Ottomans are a steam roller late game, you don't need to vye for colonies when you have neighbours weaker than you on the separate continents.
Actually, it is quite easy althugh maybe not worth it. You can island-hop through the Indian Ocean and reach Indonesia and the Philipines by launching from Socotra, Oman or the Horn of Africa, all easy to conquer.
I agree that it's easy, but the tech points spent for colonies could be better spent keeping Russia and Austria down militarily and making your finances and state more efficient to fight an endless stream of wars.
I usually make four big armies (Africa, Persia, Russia, Europe) and just constantly cycle through wars until the revolt risk goes down enough that I can launch a new one. Colonizing just slows me down.
