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.

Which paradox can do. :huh:

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

Because they moved away from population in EU4? You don't really see population once something is a city.

Oops, misremembering the game.
Colonisation in EU4 hasn't interested me at all.

Yes they can. But they choose not to, at least in this expansion.

That's okay, I never went for a world conquest anyway. But if I can't conquer India in a timely fashion as the Mughals or the Middle East as the Ottomans because they added a shitload of useless provinces, I will not enjoy the game as much as before.

The Mughals never actually succeeded in conquering India though...

Looks pretty successful to me. Granted it wasn't lasting.

The Empire was founded in 1520 or so and they nearly accomplished full conquest by 1707 before collapsing.  Hardly conquest in a timely fashion  :P

The Ottomans though pretty much conquered the Sunni world in less than a decade under Selim, which EU games have always been really bad at recreating.

Less than 200 years besides that portion shown in pink was all gained in what - about 50-60 years? Recall that Babur's son Humayun lost everything (fled to Persia) and didn't retake his capital till 1555ish. Probably can't really even do that with new map + truce times.

Actually what I remembering being the most annoying was how Mughals get all of their claims at once. Was impossible to take them all before they expired.

Thats a problem in the case of Russia, Ottomans and Germany.

:huh:

They've released a national idea group for Air? I'm assuming with all these country idea groups that they are now moving to have all nations have their own ideas, if that polity gets one.

Just wait for it when the Air Nomad Traditions have to face up to the Fire Nation attacking.
