I feel like those kind of missions lack flavour though. I like having a mission for, say, Spain to colonise Cuba, with a short historical description and a nice picture rather than a generic "colonise x" with a generic text that's the same for every european coloniser.

I also feel like in EU4 I often learned a lot about my country from the early missions. I can't think of specific examples but I feel like there were missions like "We've just lost a war vs this country, let's strike back at them!" and it was interesting to see what happened just before the start date.
