If the colonial nations are essentially vassals to the parent-country, do they then count as a diplomatic relation?
I'd still like an option to integrate colonies, but not an easy one. Maybe as part of the expansion national ideas, or even a certain level of diplomacy tech.
As a nation gets more provinces in the New World these cities will automatically be transferred to any existing colonial nation.
Dlc.
So without the DLC colonization of the new world is the same like vanila and everywhere else?
Will provinces change their names if I colonize them with a certain country with this expansion or will I have to keep using the mod? (this really seems like something that should be included in the game anyway).
No, the colonies don't have flag files, they are just a combination of the mother country and the region color. The post-colonial states they can later form, like USA, Peru, Mexico, Canada etc. of course have their historical flags just like before.

That would be a shame I was looking forward to the patch providing better colonisation dynamics. I dont want to have to buy the natives expansion just for the extra colonisation mechanics and I dont think I would be prepared to do that if its expensive (and lets face it it will be). That would be most annoying, especially as its the worst part of the vanilla game so it should be improved in a free patch. If it isnt in the patch I will most probably just stop playing the game.
You've set it up so the new colony first checks to see if there's a historical flavour name, like the Thirteen Colonies, and uses that; if not it defaults to the generic $Country-adjective + $Region-name, yes?No, the colonies don't have flag files, they are just a combination of the mother country and the region color.

I dont want to have to buy the natives expansion just for extra colonisation mechanics and I would not be prepared to do that if its expensive (and lets face it, it will be). That would be most annoying because colonisation is by far the worst part of the vanilla game. It needs to be improved in a patch, not DLC which should be specific and non-essential.
If it isnt in the patch I will most probably just stop playing the game, and as I've only got 70 hours out of it this will most likely be the last ever Paradox game I buy because I am getting a little bit frustrated by them missing the mark. The combat is bad enough but the colonisation absolutely stinks, its just pointless repetition at the moment, I hate it.
Any word on how moddable these generated flags will be? For example, if we want to have just the cantons of the flags be from the mother country, rather than the full hoist of it, will that be possible?
Beyond that, will we be able to tweak the scope of the mother country's flag? In the canton-only example, it would make sense to use the entirety of the mother country's flag, rather than just the hoist of it (think of the Union Jack, in its entirety, in the canton of various colonial flags, rather than just the corresponding quarter).
Regarding the assigned color of any given region, will that also be moddable? Even so far as to make, perhaps, something more complex than just a color? Say, rather than have the Thirteen Colonies with a solid Red fly, it could be a striped white and red?
1. What happens if I have a colony dependency in a region already, and I send my colonist agent to an empty province in that region? Does the new colony automatically join the dependency as soon as it reaches 1000 population?
2. Will dependencies prioritise expansion within their own region, or will they colonise any province in range?
3. If I have two colonial dependencies in adjacent regions, will they try to expand into each other's territory, or will they respect the region border? Will there be a system to transfer provinces from one dependency to another - either automatic or under player control - or will we potentially get very tangled borders?
4. As the motherland, can I still spend my own money and monarch points to improve provinces in my dependencies?
How's that supposed to work if there's both an East Frisian America and a Ragusan America, or some such? Only one can turn into USA and the other will forever be a colonial state?No, the colonies don't have flag files, they are just a combination of the mother country and the region color.

They'll probably fight one another, and the winner will form the USA.How's that supposed to work if there's both an East Frisian America and a Ragusan America, or some such? Only one can turn into USA and the other will forever be a colonial state?
