Colonisation

[TheArchMede]

As I understand it colonisation is supposed to come from the province with the highest of (civilisation + governor finesse).

I am seeing AI colonising provinces next to me where my province has the highest, and colonisation from the lesser province when I have two neighbouring provinces.

Only provinces with population of 10, count in that scenario. So, if you have a lvl. 70 civ province, but it only has 9.9 population. Your province doesn't count.

Check your game and let me know if that was the case. I'm betting it was.

It certainly happens with both provinces of mine as possible sources. The province with the higher pop (both over 10), and higher civ (both over 50)but lower civ+fin, acted as the source.

When both provinces are yours, only civ rating is used, no finesse. Finesse is used only against foreign powers.

The AI cheats, intentionally or not. I just saw an AI-controlled Bosporan Kingdom start to colonize an area with only 8 pop next to it...

:rofl:

Nope, it had 8 pop after it lost 2 pop. It didn't start out with 8 pop. It had 10 and lost 2 and 2 more from its capital province.

If the capital province had less than 10 pop, then it would loose 4 pop and drop to 6 pops.

Hope this explained it a little bit.

Yeah, actually figured that out in the meantime. Except I hadn't figured out the bit about the capital province.
