Alright coming October 30th.

Also, I wonder if there are any other, not yet mentioned, Napoleonic mechanics. So far only mechanic is - client states. :rolleyes:

I decided to start a game as Switzerland.
It has worked out unusual. The AIs have been very blobby. Spain has the bottom half of Italy and France is stretching out into Savoy and the low countries, I've managed to get the Rhein and northern Italy.
But I think its game over now, France is just too tough, can't beat them at all even when I outnumber them and am defending in the mountains. :(

I really wish they didn't railroad the Burgundian succession like they did.  The vast majority of the time, Austria gets the Netherlands, only to be unable to defend it from France.  That gives an already very powerful France even more power.

Seems rather historical.
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.

Wow, they have really gone crazy. North Carolina now has 7 provinces, same for Georgia. Florida looks to have 8!

I suppose that is one way to slow down colonization.

That's just silly.  Even if they make every province have a base tax of 1, it would still result in a disproportionate for the times economic power of North America.

Apparently all of the Americas are getting a lot of provinces. There are 15 provinces that will be held across a collection of Mayan city states and core Aztec area to conquer has something like 28. Cuba is now 6 provinces and they noted that while there used to be 6 provinces between Guatemala and Panama, there are now 13.

Presumably South America will follow suit, especially as early screens indicated there will be new natives in Brazil/Argentina.

Lot of provinces everywhere and mexico and peru now had lots of 2-5 province countries. In pre-AoW vanilla colonization ends about 1700.

As was noted on forum, this seems like one the silliest ways of slowing colonization.

Well it's probably the only way of slowing it down without changing mechanics.

Why can't they just make it so you need much more populated coastal provinces before you get to the inland ones.
That's the big problem I have with colonisation. Easy enough to get to 1000 people but you never grow much beyond that
