Greetings all,
A prerequisite to accepting my presented argument will require you to utterly hate border gore as much as I do (and as much as you should).
Argument: The player should be able to seize provinces /grant provinces, or otherwise edit provinces within colonial regions given the case that the player have multiple COLONIES within one colonial region (and/or adjacent colonial region's colonies owning said colonial region's provinces [what a mouthful! you may need a logic chart to work that sentence out...]).
My reasoning?
I can no longer play the current campaign I'm doing (WQ as Austria) because I realised I have a big, big problem on my hands. A border gore problem that makes me frustrated beyond any reasonable measure.
What happened?/ Reasoning:
I got the PU over Spain eventually, he had a Habsburg on the throne from the start. Kinda left him to do the colonising for me. He somehow got a PU over Portugal so when he had no heir ~1600, I grabbed both thrones using my vassal swarm. I also had Friesland in my vassal swarm, who took exploration and expansion ideas and started colonising for me too.
So I basically have no reason to colonise, just start integrating ~1700... right? WRONG!
Friesland colonised SOME random assortment of provinces in Canada, and so did Spain. So did Portugal. Now I have a messed up, discontinuous "Portuguese Canada", "Spanish Canada", "Frisian Canada". And whenever I finish integrating Spain, Portugal and unite the HRE, I'll be stuck with three disgusting, distinct Canadas that look awful. It's like I got to make up some RP about Quebec in my game to make sense of it (jokes aside).
I understand this isn't a game-breaking issue, and that having nice-looking colonies is NOT an integral part of the game experience. I also understand that by having three ten-province colonies in Canada, I'm getting three merchants for one colonial region (hey, that's pretty good!). Which MAY or MAY NOT be an game-balance issue to address (consolidation of colonies upon integration of vassal / pu ?). But I wish to stick to clear-cut aesthetics for my argument, and I am here to express my opinion that I believe there should be some solution to this, that doesn't require me to DOW my colonies (which I can not even do with Landfriede enacted, anyway).
Thanks for your time. If tl;dr, please just reference the bold argument.
P.S. Picture is an example of this issue I'm discussing... cover your eyes!
