Those poor African provinces have a life rating of 15 while my minimum life rating is 30. What tech do I need? I already had medicine which lowered the number from 35 to 30, but it is far from enough

There are provinces in africa with 3 life rating. Is it possible to even colonize those or can i assume that the ones editing the province files forgot to add an extra number to the 3, to make it 30 or 35?

So before I could get these fancy techs, anywhere I could colonize?

I saw from another thread where people complain about 1/3 of French population run to some African colonies. Man does this happen to everybody? No wonder AI hasn't colonized anything in Africa yet,

I have seen very aggressive colonization by France and Portugal starting in the 1880s. I do think the colonial immigration is high, but 1/3 sounds sort of extreme. As Prussia, I conquered Portuguese Banjul and it promptly grew to have 570k people. :confused:

But any place to colonize with minimum life rating of 30?

This is a bug, you just need to add an extra blank empty line after them in the province files.

There are a few provinces near Portuguese Moçambique and some tiny islands in Moçambique channel. There is also those provinces near the US like the previous poster said.

And a few provinces near Khiva and Russia, but these are landlocked and only Russia really is able to colonize them in that area.

Also, as Two Sicilies, i had a big portion of my population imigrating to Jerusalem and Acre (which i had conquered from Egypt). Sicily was hit hard by a lot of bad events giving my a lot of revolt risk, while my colonies were a safe haven. I actually had to transport troops from my colonies into Italy because my troops in Italy were a bunch of rebels that kept revolting all the time while my colonial troops were all the time with 0 militancy.

With the Ottoman Empire i share a similar problem. My colonial province of Kaf met a huge population boom (due to imigration) and when i encouraged the growth of soldiers in that area, i was having more than 5000 people becoming soldier each round. Its 1900 now and that province alone has half a milion of soldiers... More than 80 of my regiments came from Kaf. :p
