I ' ve had friends that have gone to catholic school they were all either atheists or wiccans <| sep |> I don ' t think this makes that achieve unrealistic at all . Your ability to conquer in Iberia is curbed or eliminated but your home provinces are about as safe as ever and conquering India is completely feasible on Portugal ' s starting borders <| sep |> A network will order a bunch of pilot episodes every year and give each show a rather small budget to work with . A show starring an established actor might get some preferential treatment since it ' s more likely to immediately draw in a lot of viewers but it ' s still risky for the network to throw a lot of money to make a fully polished new series if it ' s unsure of how many viewers it ' ll get , and therefore how much money they can charge for advertising time . Some pilots will never make it to air , others might only get a couple of weeks to make a strong enough impression and only a very few manage to get a full season . Like uApocapoca said , it also takes a little while for the actors and writing staff to get a sense of the characters and how they ' re going to interact .
