Sounds interesting. :)

It should come with dynamic trade routes though as that is a major flaw of EU4 vanilla to me.
:yes:

Maximus

Even more so with the procedurally generated new world, where you get cases like in my game where Brazil and the Caribbean share a small continent but are completely unconnected trade-wise.

I'm surprised at how poorly they did the new expansion. And even more surprised at the amount of misspellings they can manage to put into one infobox.

The generated map sucks, to use an old phrase, the new subject colonies make no sense (Brazil has a standing army larger than my Portugal can muster), and then of course the information given about the new features, both the delivery and the content.

It'll probably be better in the not so distand (:P) future.

Is that impossible? Brazil's a big place.

Well, a 5 province Brazil in 1490-something, yeah...?

the new world provinces have a huge tax base. On par with Europe. So freshly colonized provinces are often like antwerp or stockholm or ferrara or normandie in tax terms.

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

Not sure I like the whole subject colonies thing at all.

Historically Brazil's population went past Portugal's around 1790 so maybe you are just overachieving.

So I'm suppose to lose half the trade to my colonial subjects or is there a button I haven't found?

Great, the protestant reformation started in Gabu 1511. Owned and controlled by Jolof.
