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


Yeah, I have come to that conclusion myself.  It feels like the game is broken now.

I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

I'm delighted to see that the x.x.x.1 beta patch list is huge and counts these:
Quote- Fixed several spelling errors in NEWCOLONIALCOUNTRY_5
- Reformation (and Calvinism) now only happens in Europe.

Nothing about generated map improvements, though.

Mod that generates a random world map based on plate tectonics and stuff. Screenies look very nice.


Just tried it and I'm very impressed. Paradox' map seems like child's play compared to this.

It does look pretty nice from the various screenshots.

So how are you suppose to colonise inland provinces when your colonial subject country blocks the provinces?

you can colonize when they have adjecent cores
if they just conquered the land form indians and haven't cored yet you can't. Basically, you need to trace a line across cores to a port and then from that port to your capital over cores.

In a MP game burgundy tried to colonize but couldn't despite having range. Once he figured out his capital was surrounded by france and thus could not be traced to he could colonize.

It was adjacent, and I couldn't. Now I can't colonize a port province even though it's right next to my colonial nation and says I'm 93 from my closest port and colonial range is 450+.

Shelved until patch.

yes, sometimes that happens with generated maps I think
it has been reported, and will be fixed in a patch..

Oh my God, Denmark sucks. 

Sadly, yes. I haven't seen Denmark survive to see the 16th century yet. :(

At least in earlier patches, you could just annex Holstein, get Ösel or so, then you would be big enough to integrate Norway and could afterwards integrate Sweden. By 1500 you would be a unified Scandinavia and could rival other great powers. Even the AI did that somewhat frequently.

Queequeg

They can form Scandinavia but all their bonuses are to stability or light ship combat ability.  It's fucking awful.

It's especially annoying because they are one of the two or three best starts in CK2.  They have a naturally interesting position, especially with the Kalmar Union set up.

Your complaint sounds a little odd. Do we want Denmark easily bestriding the world like a colossus in EU period?
