BUG FIXED IN 1.02 :Paradise Providence

[unmerged(21817)]

Paradise Providence

I seem to have a bug where about 40-50% of all who emigrates move to providence, this creates a rather upset view of the US where allmost all colonies have 50%Yankee and 50% African minor (or something similar i.e 40 Dixie 20 Yankee 40 Af minor) and no immigrants, that is except Providence which has about 9 Million people of every kind there is, north germans south german french north italians czech hungarian flemish, dutch and so on...

Hey, I've noticed this too! EVERYONE who leaves my Greater German Reich is going to Providence... This is wierd...

 

[unmerged(16695)]

heh, same here. providence and boston. new york barely has any immigration, despite the number of factories and open fields there.

 

[unmerged(21936)]

i noticed the same. Providence is apparently the place to be

Perhaps they're Bruins fans?

yup wouldnt i like to be in providence... it seems immigrants go to a very limited amount of provinces, IMO you should put a randomzer in the code to make it spread out a bit =)

In my game Providence attracted a lot of immigrants , especially early on, but Portland in Maine is probably even more consistent immigrants getter.

I played with Germany and Spain, and in both cases, USA is getting a lot of immigrants from me. It's ok, I'll have to live with it, but I agree that immigration is too concentrated in only a few provinces.

Well, if it's germans going there instead of Irish, the you'd have Bostons Kaisers rather than Celtics.

EDIT: typo

Only until Billy 2 Abdicates, then you have to change it to "Reichskanzler"

Anyway, providence is *very* weird.

lol in my latest game many of perus provinces were up to 50 percent romanian and most were 20 percent german or others... weird!

Forget about Providence. In my game, playing USA, at the begining of 1883 the most populated province of the great USA empire is... Yebuti . Yes, the rather small cattle producing province on the East African coast, constituting part of the state of Tigray (two other provinces of this state were owned by Etiopia and Egypt). I bought it from England in october 1851, as it had African Minor as a dominant culture, so I could grant it a statehood. At that time it had a total population of 8000 (that's probably why Brits were willing to sell it for a price I was able to afford). Almost immediately after I bought it, people from all over Europe started to arrive in droves. 32 years later Yebuti has more than 2 milion people in around 50 POP's

By the way, Yebuti along with my other East African colonies, that I acuired / conquered later on almost completely killed European immigration to USA. So now I have thiriving population centers as Yebuti, Bari (state of Ogaden) or Wadelai (Uganda).

Seriously, It look like computer chooses shortest distance as crucial parameter for deciding where the POP's migrate. Much more important than Life standard in a province, as indicated by this termometer thing on a province ifo screen.

USA, GC - The Statue of Liberty must have been in Cleveland 'cause that's where all the immigrants were showing up for a while.

And of course, at the same time they were then emigrating from Cleveland to other provinces in the US.

(Which makes some historical sense. Ellis Island anyone?)

guatemala

hello,

when I annexed Guatemala provinces I noted half the world had been migrating there,

to give you an idea, both provinces had between 2 and 3 MIO people. Giving the fact that my Mexican capital had less people compared to a single of these provinces leaves me with the impression that it's an exploit or immigration bug,

Gunib Province - Caucasus

The province of Gunib, in the Caucasus, is 44.1% Japanese.. I had a feeling that that might be a bug.

 

[Derek Pullem]

When - at start of scenario or mid way through?

 

[unmerged(13883)]

Oh. Heh, not a bug per se, i guess. Just chalk it up to strange immigration.

Sorry about that.

 

[Derek Pullem]

Well it's still a bug but one we're trying to tone down

 

[unmerged(12303)]

yes I was wondering about the providence thing - each game everybody seems to go there...

F

 

[Halibutt]

Another such place is Guatemala.
