How can you directly own all of the Americas? I was under the impression that colonial nations just began forming when there were five cored provinces in the colonial region.

On topic: I'd have liked an achievement for just conquering Iberia and making it 100% Basque, or the traditional Basque homelands (Iberia and France). A WC with Navarra/Basque nation and no subjects/colonial nations seems a bit overkill and frankly pretty tedious.
fify.

I wonder why people keep asking for more WC-style, high-tedium achievements. I personally will NEVER, ever even try to get them, simply because it would be too much like hard work and my doctor said I have an allergy.

How can you directly own all of the Americas? I was under the impression that colonial nations just began forming when there were five cored provinces in the colonial region.

If you want to own the Americas directly, you have to have your capital in the Americas. If you arrive and colonize it while having your capital in any other continent, it will generate colonial nations. I am not sure if a nation in north America can hold territory directly in south America, but you can directly own all the land in your home continent.

If you want to move your capital to Americas from the eastern hemisphere, you'll have to reduce yourself to a one-province minor. And then colonize no more than 3-4 provinces (any more than that will turn your land into a colonial nation). Once you are on your last territory on your home continent, the game allows you to shift capital to any overseas province.

This also works if you are aiming to conquer all the world directly as much as you can, because eastern hemisphere doesn't have colonial nations so you can directly hold that land once you attack nations there.

I too have a question - are colonial nations permanently un-inheritable? A nation that is really powerful should be able to annex the area directly.

Hey, how about a challenge that doesn't involve just blobbing?

Basque in the Glory:
Survive until end of the game without expanding from, or losing Navarra.


Ultimate OPM challenge!

I am not sure if a nation in north America can hold territory directly in south America, but you can directly own all the land in your home continent.

I believe a NA nation can hold territory in SA provided that you control a direct land connection to all your provinces in the latter (i.e. you have to go through Panama).

I think so too. For USA to directly hold all of the Americas for example, it will have to conquer Mexico and Panama to establish direct land connection, and only then the game will allow them to annex land directly. Just a guess.

And even more boring than doing a WC. If you're an OPM you can't have big vassals, and any war you fight will be mostly fought by your allies (or you'll lose it). So it's mostly doing nothing for 373 years.
