If we remove the 'wasteland' tag from a province does it turn it into a colonizable zone? Are they split up at the same province density as the rest of the map or are they huge?
It might be really cool if the wasteland tag could be removed IN GAME by event or something to represent advancing technology.
I guess you could even give the 'wasteland' tag a numerical rating from 1-100 and have it automatically become available at certain tech levels. I.E.:
At land tech level 25 you can access wasteland provinces rated below 30 at land tech 40 you could access below 60 etc.
Colonization could be slowed a bit that way by making non-coastal provinces all start with a low wasteland value which eventually gets removed by rising tech levels.
Great idea! Maybe is not too late to implement it, or at least leave the door open to enable modders to do it.
