Colonial power and manpower/forcelimits

[Flammehav]

How do you get that as a colonial power? Assuming you don't colonize on your won continent or move your capital?

Also if you own both sides of the strait of Gibraltar and that is connected to your capital, will the african colonies, give you manpower and full production or taxes, or will they still be distant overseas? (assuming land connection between all provinces)

Colonies give barely to nothing manpower (defined low values) relocating capital or national focus are not really helpfull here, in case of basetax values it could be, as they define your forcelimits so high basetax provinces should on your home continent.

Yes to get full taxes and lose overseas status, is a land connection needed. Be aware that both sides of Gibraltar will not enough as in vanilla no strait between them is existent. Some mods changed continental borders and added Northafrica to Europe to avoid this.

If I move my capital to Northern Africa I guess that will fix that, but do I have to isolate my capitol to do that? I play on 5.1.

That is not necessary, but moving capital is quite expensive and might give an option to change the primary culture.
